Anyone said use a mirror or camera yet?

That's probably one of the most efficient methods. A simple telescopic mirror from any auto parts store works wonders yet no one carries one with them. Most SWAT teams don't carry mirrors on them even through they are light and compact. The best method I would consider feasible for one person with CCW gear is to roll out from behind cover in a modified kneeling position and use light, either hand held or weapon mounted to illuminate through the material or underneath it (reflecting the light off the floor) to visually soften the area. Using a broom stick to lift while trying to hold a firearm towards the area is difficult and not always feasible from behind cover. The downside to this is while your attention is focused underneath the bed, everywhere else is neglected so having an additional person to provide security will help.

I actually asked a LE that clears buildings and rooms multiple times a week this question a few months ago. He said it takes 2 people one holsters their gun and lifts the mattress. I asked him if they find people under there often he said "sometimes we find people all over."

I say jump up and down on the bed. If nobody got squished, then at least you had some fun reliving your childhood...
