It was recommended on WebMD to place a piece of plywood between the boxspring and mattress. However, you can also try rotating and flipping the mattress. If it is more than ten years old, you will do best to replace it. Box springs do not need to be replaced if you are purchasing a same size mattress.

Never use plywood to stiffen a mattress. If it is too soft, the it is worn out. Replacing it is the only solution.

What is the best way to stiffen fabric for making roller blinds?

I've made shades with fabric. I used a kit; this isn't neccesary. You just have to supply the roller. A liquid fabric stiffener would make the fabric too stiff to roll. Go to a fabric store and buy the heaviest weight iron on interfacing. Just iron it on the back of your shade fabric, leave an inch if you plan on lining.To cover the interfacing, get an inexpensive lightweight fabric e.g. muslin, fold under the fabric and lining one inch and either sew on edge or use a fusible hem product. Good luck! Sherpy

Is it normal for a 3 month old infants to stiffen when crying?

Yes it normal for infants to stiffen when crying or screaming. It is caused by the action of crying (try screaming really loud and you will find that you tense your body), they also stiffen if they do not want to be picked up.
