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.

Compression springs on the feet plus the anti vibration pads? I'm thinking something like these but with sturdier springs. Or these but possibly less hardcore

Edit: obviously make sure the bed doesn't rest against the wall too, but he'll, if you have to, put springs there too!
