Check the fan protection, it's the most common source of vibration.
Or could be the compressor, that's not a quick problem to fix.
Also check the mounting on the wall, maybe the dampers are too hard or even gone...
Good luck

Good call on the sprung mattress. You could probably use a board where the mats are, if it starts to tip over.

I hang my dehu's with bungee line in a state of partial extension. They tend to have a handle though. That aircon would need a few meters of rope, and a book on bondage to hang it.

I don't hang from the ceiling, but you could. Perhaps strong shelf brackets would be easier, if you have brick walls. It's hard for the moving mass of the aircon, to shake a brick wall, through elastic.
Aircon plants on office blocks are similar. They sit on springs, like your mattress. The mattress sits on big concrete blocks, who's mass has been calculated so the aircon can't shake it through them springs.

I have never bought in paving slabs, but have thought about it for drivers.
