Living in cruddy apt. Anger management neighbor slamming doors constantly. Bed shakes, waking me up.

Previously, what works is anti vibration layers under bed. Prosourcefit exercise puzzle mats, quietwalk flooring underlayment, felt rug pad with rubber backing, thick cut high pile rug, anti vibration pads.

That normally works. But not with this insane dude. Can I build some sort of platform under bed, on rollers, like how buildings cope with earthquakes?

I'm looking for creative engineering solutions, out of the box ideas.

Dampers like those used for washing machines for your bed and while you are at it maybe put some gasket or nitrile tape in between your neighbours door as well.

What are these dampers you speak of?

It comes in many shapes and sizes. Here are some examples. It also varies in hardness and other things. So you may need to experiment.

You can search them out on Amazon, anti vibration pads.
