Bed Squeaks During Sex – Any Help?
This is a quick plea for advice – and not a hot story!
We still have two kids living at home – and don’t want to be too noisy during sex. Our bedroom is situated far away from the kid’s bedrooms. Yet, when we are really going at it – and I mean up and down, pounding the bed – our bed squeaks. We don’t have a cheap bed or an old bed. It is top of the line. The noise seems to be coming from the headboard – made of solid wood. Our bed frame legs or wheels are on a carpet base.
My plea for advice is: What homespun remedies does anyone have for making the headboard portion that is connected to the bed frame become more quiet? It seems that it is at that connective point where the noise arises. The bolts are tight. The headboard is not hitting the wall.
We often have music playing – but sometimes when we are hot and heavy without first turning music on – my wife especially gets distracted by the fact that we are making a lot of noise. I’d rather not have to always have music playing – especially early in the morning. This happened this morning right before I was cumming – and just right after she came. I want you to know that I would still have written in with this question – if I had been the one to cum! 🙂

My husband is from Guatemala and grew up without any kind of “bedroom set” so we actually got rid of our headboard cuz he wasnt used to it and cuz it squeaked whenever we had sex Lol! So now we just have the box spring and the mattress and its quiet as a cloud! Hahaha
Hahahaha! #TeamNoHeadBoards for the win! 😀
You might try a thin sheet of slippery material, like Teflon, sandwiched between the headboard and bed frame mounting surfaces. You could try asking at your local Ace, Truevalue, Lowes, or Home Depot to,see what they might have that would suffice.
Wifey and I don’t have a bed frame or a head board. Just the box springs on the floor and the mattress on top. Pushed up against the wall.
Never had to worry about a squeaking bed.
Now, keeping my wife from screaming, well, that’s an entirely different story. 🙂
My wife and I had the same problem and as out kids become teenagers would start to complain about the noise of our bed and told us it was Grose to here their parent making out.
It got to the point we wouldn’t make love and it was effecting our marriage. One day I unbolted the bed head and screwed it to the wall of out bed room. Problem was solved. we could enjoy making love again.
First of all, I’m so sorry that this is happening! Try maybe detaching the headboard and if you need one get a softer one perhaps? Or, if it’s possible try putting a pillow to at least muffle the sound. Hope I’ve been of some help. God keep blessing you, brother O:)
Thank you all! I really appreciate your caring and advice! God bless! LH
get ready to get to work – we had the same issue – one day while my wife was @ work and I was home all day I completely disassembled our bed – but before doing so I had to figure out exactly where the noises and squeaks were coming from, I also gathered a roll of black electrical tape, duct tape, some padded material used for lining my tool chest drawers and an unused pillow – remove the mattress , box spring, disassemble the frame and remove headboard from frame – now the reassembly process is pretty much the same only don’t allow any metal on metal contact, – put a layer or several layers of tape between the headboard and frame use electrical tape between the metal joints of the frame make sure everything is tight. Wrap the black tape around the wheels if equipped and if not on carpet add some “coasters”, line the padding material alone the inside frame rails, add the box spring and mattress after everything is isolated, or padded push the whole bed as close the wall as possible and stuff a pillow ( our head board is solid wood) between the wall and the headboard – after I was done we could get a running start jump on the bed and -0- dead silence: not squeak, thump, or chirp – nothing nadda –
I learned of this issue around week 8-12 of marriage counseling – I had it fixed the next day ………….. now several years later the kids are now out of the house and we could care less how much noise we make in the bedroom 🙂 My wife was so impressed she mentioned it to the counselor the following week and was suggested I start a new business ! Apparently this really is a problem in many homes……. so fix it – one less thing for the wife to worry about or be distracted by
good luck and happy silencing

John, thank you so much for walking me through this process. I am going to do this. I liked the “running start” test! 🙂
We’ve got a few more years of kids in the home so this will help a lot. God bless you! LH
