Good thing clamps are cheap. And you would probably be good with wood glue, but switching to construction adhesive would be extra strong. If it’s good enough to hold your floor together, it’s good enough for your bed.

Thanks, yes someone else mentioned the plastic coating on the MDF means wood glue wouldn’t stick unless I remove the coating. If I don’t remove the coating will construction adhesive work ok?

If you are going to use the screws again with it then it probably doesn’t matter. Just move them to a new spot to get a good bite. I would use the construction adhesive (like liquid nails). It’s a cheap bed so I wouldn’t overthink it.

Cool. Yeah, it’s obviously not the quality we assumed. But we don’t have a casual £££ to throw at a new bed frame right now, so doing as good a repair as possible is worth it for me! Thank you.
