Not sure whether standing your bed on something would help or not -
probably worth a go as it's easy to try - however breezeblocks would
certainly not be the answer; you want something like thick blocks of
rubber to absord it. Can't think of anything off the top of my head
that you could use. How about trying a couple of paperback books under
each bed leg? Wouldn't be as good but dead easy to try.


I can think of a couple of things:

1) Antislip silicone rubber mug coasters. Often sold as a disability aid.
Stick 2-3 under each leg.

2) 4 wheel barrow inner tubes, 8 squares of ply and make 4 pneumatic pads.
Need to fix the top ply plate to the bed leg or add something to make the
leg captive so it can not slip off.

I reckon 1) would be worth a go and likely to help. 2) is more complicated
but would give near 100% isolation to this type of transmission.
