How to Disassemble a Bed

Loosen up the footboard with a screwdriver, then remove it and put it aside. Next, get the bed away from the wall and loosen the headboard. Do this gently and unscrew the headboard, then put it aside. The body of the frame is the last thing to be loosened. Bolts hold the frame together; they will have to be removed once this is done, pile the frame parts up. Bed rails and other parts might need to be taken apart, but this depends on the type of bed. If nothing else needs to be removed, the next step can be taken.
