What can do to stop my bed from moving on my hardwood floors?

Question

i have a bed with a flat wooden frame, its an ikea bed, the malm series, and it slides from time to time and that helps when i'm cleaning but not when i get up too quick or jump on the bed and it slides a whole foot. any suggestions, something that wouldn't affect the height of the bed considering its a flat frame without actual legs?

Answer 1

I have hardwood in my living room and I keep an area rug under my futon to keep it from sliding.

Answer 2

If you like IKEA stuffs, you can have a carpet underneath your bed or get a rubber pad (they sell this in IKEA too) that can be glued to your bed frame legs.

Answer 3

glue very thin pieces of rubber on the bottom.

Answer 4

You need stop slides... Here is a link to a page with a description.

You may find them cheaper, but at least you will have an idea what you need

Answer 5

maybe you could get some thin pieces of rubber (like a bike tire tube) and cut them to fit under the frame to create some friction between the bed and the floor?  Other option would be to s***w in a 2x2 to the floor right behind the frame to keep it from sliding around.  It would make a small hole in your floor, but hey, it's under the bed and you'll never see it.

Answer 6

This may sound off the wall but I would bolt the bed to the wall. It would be a more permanent fix than gluing something to the bottom of the bed.

Answer 7

Find some of that rubbery stuff you can use for kitchen cabinet and drawer liners.  It is also sold to put under rugs so they won't slip.  I see rolls of the stuff at the dollar store a lot being sold as place mats and drawer liners.
