Purchased a super king bed base with spring slats about 65mm apart. Also purchased a Komfi Sleepmart 700 memory foam mattress. Have found there is a lot of creaking sounds from the bed with 2 people in the bed who are normal weight. Looking under the bed when my husband was lying on the mattress made clear a lot of flex in the slats making the bed creak loud enough to wake us. The bed base is a metal frame with a metal bar in the centre. Would you know of way tonrectify this?
Have considered 12mm plywood sheets or mdf but are really uncertain what to do. All Feedback greatly appreciated. Best regards Katie

Hi Katie.
As I have mentioned elsewhere on this site, metal frame beds do have a tendency to creak, particularly lower priced models where no rubber buffers are used on the joints.
Normally, excessive creaking is due to the fact that the fixings are not regularly tightened and thus the metal on metal sound occurs.
I personally do not think a plywood sheet will help but obviously without seeing the frame itself and finding the cause is just speculation.
I would initially remove the mattress and retighten the fittings to see if that helps.
Thanks for your comment and let me know what, if anything, remedys it.
