A squeaking bed is one of the most common furniture complaints, and almost always traces back to one of a few specific causes.
The Usual Culprit
Metal hardware, screws and brackets that loosen as wood naturally expands and contracts with humidity, is behind most squeaks, not the wood itself.
Why Joinery Matters
A frame built with interlocking wood joinery, like The Poka Bed, avoids this failure point entirely, since there's no metal hardware to work loose over time.
The Honest Verdict
If your current bed squeaks, check and tighten every screw and bracket first. If the problem persists, the frame's construction, not the wood, is likely the underlying issue.
