Ikea LEIRVIK Bed frame squeak suppression

thingiverse

We recently discovered that one of our Ikea LEIRVIK beds had removable feet, unlike its counterpart. This design flaw led to an ear-piercing squeak every time someone shifted their weight on the bed. In an effort to resolve this issue, I designed a set of washers with the intention of completely eliminating the noise. While these washers didn't eradicate all squeaking entirely, they did manage to bring it down to a level that's tolerable for guests. The bed now behaves similarly to what you'd expect from a metal-framed Ikea model over 10 years old.
