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.

Is the door that is being slammed a common door (like in the common hallway) you have access to? If so, install a damper on the door so it slowly closes. The more he pushes, the more it fights him.

If yiu don't have access to the door, then get anti vibration levelers for your bed. There are lots of different ones. Some go under the existing leveler feet, while others would replace the leveler feet altogether so just make sure the thread is the same size. The rubber that these vibration isolators use varies in hardness. It might take some experimenting but you want a rubber that is soft enough that it compresses some when the weight of the bed and you are on it, but not so soft that it bottoms out.
