What about little squares of carpet underneath each leg? And maybe some felt on the headboard to stop it scraping so much.0

Cut some pads out of a rubber car mat - a bit thicker and grippier?0

Stand the legs on those non slip/gripper mats you can get to stop things slipping around on a car dashboard? Also stick the felt pads to the back of the headboard to protect the wallpaperPlease forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0

This post has to be a wind up, even more so than the Heinz thread.
Stay out of the bed op is my reply, or if you are the 1st in,
, keep it that way.:o:
Take an angle grinder to bed with you, you may need a slashI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

Lump of wood, on the floor, at the headboard end of the bed - as long as the bed is wide and adequate to keep the headboard from the wall. It might not cure the bed moving, but if anything scrapes it will be down at skirting level.You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'0

Ok serious head on then, trying to stop the bed scraping the wall has to be tackled by stopping the bed moving, otherwise it will still need repositioning very other day.
The felt pads you describe do what they are supposed to do, ie, stop damage to wooden floors, you're right they probably make the slip factor worse.
You need full foot sized rubber fastened to the bed feet with say a contact adhesive (No the rubber bit isn't the gutter version again,
)
I'd say a section from a fat tyred mountain bike inner tube would do the trick,
;) I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
