Wooden beds creak, usually, because screws and/or nails are loose. You might be able to remove your matresses, tighten the screws, and by that simple act, reduce the creaking considerably. If that doesn't work, I suggest that you buy some wood glue, and put the glue in any loose joints with a syringe. Just don't glue together anything that's supposed to come apart...

Also you might want to think about applying CRC or similar to the joints - that stops creaking really good also.

CRC works well... teflon based spray lubricants also work well. Especially on surfaces which you want to stay dry. They last a long time on the surface.
