For stability, I've seen people use that Tempurpedic foam that you buy for beds for transporting because it keeps them from wobbling. ( Remember the commercial with the woman jumping on the bed and the glass of wine doesn't spill? LOL) I...

That's good thinking.Oh, and I realized after i posted this that this subject line is similar to the other thread posted, but it seemed that the other was more about that specific issue than an "any given day" complaint. I wasn't trying...
