rubber legs for bed?

ali-t

Any ideas where I can get rubber legs for my bed instead of wheels?

I have wooden floors and the bed slides all over the place when there's any movement. I have tried putting rubber cups/pads under the wheels but the wheels still jump out of them and short of going to buy a new bedframe without wheels (not very me) I need a solution.

Ideally I would like to remove the wheels and add solid rubber legs but can't find any. perhaps I'm searching for the wrong thing so any pointers appreciated.

I know this sounds daft, but try going to your nearest mobility place. You can buy lots of different sized rubber ends that go on mobility frames and walking sticks. The ones for frames are made well and are usually re-enforced with metal inside the bottom to help them last longer.
Like these I just found on ebay;

Or buy a cheap rubber car mat and cut some pads out of it?

dare I ask what you're doing to make the bed jump so much? :j


I've got the castor cups and the bed doesn't move. It does make it harder to move the bed for cleaning though. Got ones with rubber on bottom from ebay

You can use rubber castor cups under the wheels. Stops the bed rolling around on wooden/laminate flooring:

Check the size of the wheels before you purchase them and choose the ones that are higher than the standard castor cups.

A bed with wheels on? I thought those along with the iron bedtead and flop matresses went out with the ark!

I bought mine about a month ago, and it still had castors on it. Does make it easier to move for cleaning underneath it I'm guessing that's what the OP means by wheels

The car mat idea is good, or use pieces if carpet tile glued on rubber side down.

Castor cups didn't work for me, screwed some bits of 3 x 2 timber to the base of mine to regain height, then used carpet tile as above.

I keep trying to make the bed move but it won't:o:o:o;);)

We are using castor cups at the moment and the wheels pop out of them.

Thanks for the link for the feet but none of them look big enough for the wheels. I think if there's nothing available I will have to buy feet and get wooden legs put on the bed.

Are the legs wooden? Could you just remove the castors and fittings and leave the legs? Bed would be slightly lower but there would be no costs.

Have you tried locking castors ?
