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.

I'm already tried most all suggestions. Bed away from wall, low bed frame, made of wood, not metal, anti vibration pads. This is an old apt filled with addicts, mental health issues. No job, on ssi, can't move, unless I want to be homeless again. Trying to make what I have works. Only response I got, haven't tried, was platform on springs, rollers. Tks to everyone.

Oh, talking to neighbor, landlords, not applicable. Cops, screaming, fights breaking out, meth heads, everyone smoking cigs in their apartments... someone with anger issues simply slamming doors ... it can be so much worse. Trying to cope best I can
