Heads up
When it sounds like a shotgun went off under your bed at midnight, it was just the bed support shock screws coming loose. Go back to sleep ;)

It still shocks us at night when our darn cat jumps in the living room and goes... ker-pow on the floor or something!
Worse, when the darn thing jumps on top of us in the middle of the night.
The screws came loose on the hinges under the bed a few years ago. It was a real chore trying to figure out how to reinforce the lift up under the bed without pulling the screws out of the very thin plywood. It took about 3 attempts, but finally reinforced the lumber enough so the hinges wouldn't pull out again. The bad thing was, those air struts were yanked out also. I finally got it strengthened and supported and not had any problems since.
Darn cat!
