Aside from morphs and scripts, you can also use a group of magnets to deform the mattress. Tweak the number of magnets and their position in relation to the body part that will depress the mattress. Then play around with their magzones and their graphs to get the degree of depression and depression fall-off you want. This magnet technique comes in handy for animation too. Parent the magnets to the appropriate body parts and add the mattress to each magnet's group. Tweak the position of the magnets such that as the body parts they're parented to come in very close proximity with the mattress, the magnets will deform the mattress giving the illusion they're actually depressing the mattress. nukem
