I bought a "rubber bench block" on ebay, but when I unpacked it, it

putting rubber blocks underneath my bed legs, to stop vibrating

Can anyone think of an alternative to rubber please? How about sand,
placed in some kind of soft pouch like container? (I'm just guessing
here!)

Thanks a lot for any ideas.

1) Put the rubber blocks under the source of the vibration.

2) Fix the floorboards

3) Fit stiff springs to the bed feet

4) Suspend the bed on ropes; from the ceiling if it is strong enough,
else build a frame to carry it.

Turn bed into hydrofoil?

And we all know that watercraft have hammocks - which neatly ties in 4)
on Colin's response. Turn bed into hydrofoil and install a hammock on board.
