Noisey divan bed base: solved!

I need to share this because it took me so long to find an answer to this problem, and such an easy fix, everyone needs to know.

We purchased a brand new divan base and mattress less than a year ago. Not long after buying, it started to squeak in some parts, and soon it squeaked all over. Not just during, ehm, activities, but just rolling over or sitting down to put your socks on.

Couldn’t find any information about a return policy, no warrenty, and considered buying a new bed. Until..

I found a video on YouTube of a guy in America fixing the squeak, in what they call, a box spring bed. Looked similar to a divan to me. In this video, he turns the "divan" upside down, removes the beauty cover crap they staple on the bottom and it’s made of cardboard inside! Between the wooden slats and the part the mattress sits on, is cardboard!! And this is what squeaks!! Not the bed.

So I did what he did. Took a Stanley blade to the cardboard and removed it, viola! It’s like a new bed. Not a peep out of it!

Anyways, you’re welcome.
