How to keep bed from sliding on wood floor?

Here are some effective ways to keep your bed from sliding on hardwood floors:

Use non-slip furniture pads or rubber cups under the bed legs. These provide traction to prevent sliding124. Cut them to size if needed.
Place a large area rug under the bed. The weight of the bed will cause the rug fibers to indent, creating grip. Use double-sided carpet tape underneath if needed3.
Wedge the bed into a corner. This limits movement to only two directions3.
Use velcro pads on the bed frame and mattress. Cover as much surface area as possible for best results, but note this may leave some adhesive residue3.
Attach the bed frame permanently to the wall using screws. This is very effective but requires damaging the wall and is not ideal if you plan to frequently reposition the bed4.
Wrap the bed legs with rubber, such as from a bicycle tire. Cut to size and wrap around each leg4.

The key is providing traction between the bed and floor. Non-slip pads, rugs, and wedging the bed are the easiest and most reversible options. Avoid using furniture sliders made for moving beds, as these will have the opposite effect on hardwood floors.

00:00 All right so I just bought this futon. It's a queen sized frame with mattress off Craigslist pretty good deal. I got I was thinking about buying new but figured if I could get a good deal on Craigslist why not just because it's something for my office something for guests when they come by so you take a look. It's a wood frame a big old thick mattress. I got a think that's at least eight maybe ten inches concede on the bottom. Here it doesn't really want to tuck in all the way to the frame. It's very thick mattress it doesn't really want to tuck in.

00:55 There it slides off really easily just a little push and she's sliding so so what I did was that both these futon futon land no slip strips very very basic. I think it was twin dollars on Amazon I can put the link in there in the description but I mean these are the instructions step one through for a pretty pretty simple measure cup peel and adhere to the frame. So I'm gonna do that. I'll show you guys it'll be back in a second alright. Got these strips on I'm sorry. The grips very easy just kind of take. It measure it cut it peel off the adhesive and you just stick it right to it. So I started up this end and did two over there every other end every other and then I just kind of finished up with the remaining grips. I had it's a little bit small but you can kind of get the the picture you want to go every other. You don't want to do the very edge because that'll stick out a little bit.

02:20 You know people seen that. But I'm gonna throw on the mattress see how it works and I'll come back and show you guys all right. So this is it as a bed. So it's probably better if you do it with two people. So you can set the mattress on there just pick it up and laying on top brother. Vince I back on I was able to get it on one person a little bit no problem. I mean it's it's really grippy. The mattress itself is really heavy so as a bed it it doesn't move at all.

02:59 It's very. It's very good. But I think the real test will be as a couch when I fold it up so you can try that I'll come back and see how it looks. All right guys got it into couch mode and I gotta say it fits in there a little bit better. It doesn't stick out over the front anymore kind of stays into that little the corner or the like. The bend in the couch a little bit better and I mean this is a big old queen mattress. It's an old one. It's you know very heavy. So it's not gonna fit perfectly in couch mode. But I mean right. Now. It looks pretty. Good I have to say it. I like it the way looks a lot better.

03:49 I was tugging down a little bit at the bottom. If I tugged really hard I could get to move maybe an inch but you know I don't know why anyone would be doing that. So I mean it stays on really well so for 20 bucks. I mean I don't think you go can't go wrong and I think it helps a lot. I think it'll alleviate some stress of folding and unfolding the futon and making sure that it stays in its position so yeah. I think it's definitely worth. It check it out on Amazon alright guys thanks for watching.
