How can I fix creaky slates on my bed?

Our best suggestion is to try loosening the screws a quarter turn. Over-tightened screws are the most common cause of wood creaking.
You can find an instructional video at this link that explains the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz8SCKTh0wc 

If loosening the slats doesn't stop the creaking sounds, you can try placing small felt coins under the slats. Follow the steps below:

1. Remove the mattress to access the slats.

2. Remove the slats using a 4/5 mm Allen key.

3. Place small felt coins on each side of the screw hole.

4. Reinstall the slats using a 4/5 mm Allen key.

5. Try using some silicone spray near the areas where wood meets wood. this might mean that you will have to disable the bed / Sofabed, but this will help correct the noise that you hear.
