These struts require a tremendous amount of push at full extension to get them to retract, you may have reduced the bed platform in size/weight and have certainly reduced the weight of the mattress, I suspect it is that difference you are now seeing and they are not jammed at all. It will take extra force to get them to move.

You might have to reduce the capacity of the struts now, think about the ejection seat in a F18 fighter jet then imagine being all snuggled up to the DW and suddenly launched out the roof of the Monty onto the roof of SOB, how embarrassing would that be....

Seriously: When I had the king mattress off my bed platform it took considerable effort to get them to move, not so much when the mattress was back in place.
