Wear tighter pants so your bottom doesn`t fall out.

Attach a small brace to the bottom of the drawer. Use a piece of wood that is small enought to make sure the drawer will still close, but is strong enough to support it, and nail it in with small 3/4" nails from the SIDES of the drawer.. not the bottom.

A detailed solution.
Cut two pieces of 12mm thick wood with a slight angle on the wide side at both ends just so it fits the the gap under the bottom.
Offer them up equally spacing the distance between the front and back.
Pin one side as tight as you can against one side and tap the loose end to close the gap.
Having satisfied you have good contact remove the pin and glue both mating surfaces in the middle and ends.
Reinsert the pin and knock the free end tight again, but this time pin the unpinned end.
Leave to dry.
A tight bottom with nothing sticking out anywhere.

Remove drawer. Take the bottom out and run wood glue around grooves which bottom fits into. Re fit bottom (saggy side upwards). Leave overnight before filling drawer.

I had that same problem. I took the whole draw apart and put it back together with Gorilla Glue. I turned the draw upside down and placed books on top for a couple of days. The bottom of the draw is still a little warped but not as much.

Just put a couple of supporting beams across the bottom of the drawer in question, you can either tack or glue it, dont matter cos no one will see it.

cut piece of chipboard (18mm to avoid splitting) size of inside of drawer put in over old base. mark line on sides and back of drawer to mark where middle of new base is. (measure from top inside and add 9mm. screw from sides and back with long thin screws (should countersink so flush at sides so as not to catch runners. Job done (strongest part of bed) you could probablly store bricks in it.

String is your friend here, usually there is enough space to screw self taping screws at the back, and inside bottom front, string in fisherman style netting and this will keep your draw bottoms from falling out.
