| mattresses to help deaden a room? Along with building bass traps I have two twin sized mattresses in storage that I thought might help control higher freq. Kind of like how many live rooms have really thick blanket like curtains hung around on the walls...only these would be moveable. Worth my time? |

| Fire hazard? Wouldn't they be a fire hazard also while they are sitting on the box spring in my room and I'm sleeping on it? I guess I will give it a try. The only real way to know. |

| In my experience they do surprisingly little. But give it a shot & report back.

There are some pics floating around of Trent Reznor using a mattress as an absorber in a hotel room. If it works it works. | |

Honestly, though, the Japanese have got it right. These things represent a fire hazard WHEREVER YOU PUT THEM! GET THEM OUT OF YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOOOOW!!!   Actually, my dad's been using mattresses as absorbers for years. It saves him going to the bathroom when he's lying there drunk. | |

| They will make it different. Whether that difference will be good or bad is for you to figure out. |

| Somebody tell this guy if it is true. Mattresses are easy to find anywhere (a landfill). |

C'mon guys, I did say possibly.  I guess if its newer it wont be an issue. I just finished building my new studio, and am on a fire safty kick. All foam gets the flame test. I even got a fire extinguisher. As long as you dont smoke in bed its not a fire hazard  | |
