Why there are sommieres that make noises
There are bases and bed bases that make noises for very different reasons. Noise always tells us that something is loose and generates vibrations with movement.
They can be the legs (most of the time), which are loose or badly screwed .
When a very intensive use of the bed base has been made, perhaps over several years, or has been moved from one side to another for various reasons, the nuts and bolts may be loosened , or else the clamps may be somewhat deformed. It can also happen that our mattress makes noise when we are not using standard size legs suitable for the mattress base or upholstered base, or we place a lot of weight on the mattress frequently.
We can know that the problem is in the legs very easily. Just sit or lie on the bed and another person observe the reaction of the legs and structure. In this case the sound will be accompanied by some instability of the bed frame, so the rest will be complicated and the mattress will tend to move too much.
In this case, the solution may be to screw the legs back to make sure they are firm and do not generate noise. However, if the nuts, clamps or screws are badly worn, they will tend to loosen and your bed frame will continue making noises. In this case we recommend that you buy new bed bases, according to the measurements of your bed base.
Maybe the bed frame you chose was basic, of not much quality
Maybe you bought it to get by or the seller who offered it to you said "they are all the same", that "it's not worth paying more for the same" ... The fact is that there are mattress finishes that favor no noise
For example, if the bed bases are subject to the frame of the steel structure by rubber tips , then better. You are minimizing the sound. What is more expensive? Yes, but it can be justified if what you are looking for is absence of noise.
They can also be the sheets of the bed bases
When the problem is in the slatted sheets , the type of noise we hear may be something different, for example from woods that creak when we move or lie down.
This type of sound is a clear indicator that we need to renew our bed base , since it is likely that some of the sheets are damaged, are about to break or have been left loose.
The slatted sheets were not manufactured before now, they are protected with layers of lacquer, epoxy or are finished with anti-moisture vinyl, and they protect them from humidity and temperature changes that favor the sheets are losing flexibility.
Sleeping in this type of mattress does not guarantee the stability and tranquility you need to enjoy a good rest, so you should not wait another day to change base or bed base. In addition, not having a base or mattress in conditions can affect the useful life of your mattress , being on a less rigid and unstable basis.
And it may be that your floor is uneven
Sometimes we can go crazy looking for that sheet that makes the noise, or that has been damaged ... and what happens is that the ground is uneven. This also happens a lot with the canapés: my canapé makes noise! , and after a mounting team arrives at the user's house ... we realize that the problem is on the floor: if the support points of the sofa -also in the case of the mattress- are not at the same height, the base limps, and by forcing the point or the points of support to reach the ground, the structure, the perimeter is forced, and makes noise.
How to take better care of your mattress to prevent it from deteriorating?
There are box springs that begin to make noises shortly after buying them. And the problem is that we have subjected them to a weight for which they are not adapted, perhaps because we are using an inadequate type of mattress or because they are low resistant beds that are not prepared for certain types of mattresses and people of a certain physical complexion.
One of the ways to prevent your mattress from deteriorating in a short time is to make sure that you choose a good combination of mattress and mattress for the person who will sleep in it. Also try not to put too much weight on the mattress too often. In this way both your mattress and your mattress can have a perfect coupling and you can take better care of both one and the other.

When do I change the mattress and what mattress without noise do I need?
The materials do not last forever, this must never be forgotten. When you notice that your mattress is making noises and shows clear signs of having lost rigidity and stability , it is time to change the mattress.
For those who do not want to have noise problems with the legs , a fixed sofa without legs is the most appropriate, since it is attached to the floor, so it is the most comfortable and avoid those uncomfortable noises that make us wake up when we least expect it.
However, it is true that canapés can be more expensive, so if you do not want to spend too much, it is true that there is also a wide variety of steel frame upholstered bases and bases , high strength and great rigidity with a long life that will allow us to sleep without our bed making noise.
