bass trap question

maybe this is a stupid question, but wtf. would a queen size mattress against a wall help attenuate low frequencies in a small (10x12) room?

if so, where would be the best place to put it?

thanks in advance,
bill

It would work better than those crappy foam "bass traps" being sold for too much money. Those are just "cash traps".

Anyway, I'm sure it would suck up some bass I doubt it would be seriously effective. Also, even if it did, the size would be a problem because you want to get bass traps in the corners first.
