#924x ¾" plywood sheets screwed together on 12x sturdy 10" legs + 50x 1x1" 8' sticks on top for ventilation => 8x8' bed + 5" custom 95D memory foam mattress + 10lbs buckwheat "main" pillow + memory foam "between the knees" pillow. Absolute darkness with 3M blackout film on the windows. I've always struggled to find a big enough bed so I can "starfish" in the middle. Building a custom one helped!

#94I have placed 15kg worth of dumbbell weight plates under each bed post in hope this might reduce meditation of sound vibrations due to neighbors walking and running and doing whatever else to cause them. It works a bit but not as much as I'd like.
You want something damping for that. Some sort of hard rubber would be ideal.
I need to understand more about the physics. so far the most convincing argument goes for mass.

I don't sleep on my back. Do you think this has anything to do with that?
I have many problems with my postures thoughout the whole day (bad habits and WFH), but I exercise semi-regularly. I do stretching, running, or swimming- one or multiple of these all year. I guess that is what saves me from back pains and other trouble despite bad postures. Even when I didn't exercise (before age 14), I did not have any back pains despite sleeping on a very hard mattress. Talk to your doctor and/or d…
It's not much and mostly right after sleep.
So, yeah, I'll do more training.

You can get Sorbothane pads to go under your bed - Sorbothane is a material designed for vibration reduction.
