How to stop door slams shaking my bed? (lemm.ee)

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.

Maybe obvious, but have you tried to talk to the neighbor?

In my previous apartment I had a shitty door that was hard to close without slamming it, and I didn't realize how much it disrupted my neighbors when I slammed it to close it. Instead I started to turn the lock while closing it, which worked perfectly.
