I have GOT to stop smacking my head on the bottom of the spiral staircase.

OR start smacking it harder so you forget you hit it. :-)

NOT HELPING! :)

Well, after twenty or thirty years in the same house, you duck instinctively.

How do I know, you ask?

I just sort of automatically limbo when I walk near the rear of the spiral staircase.

I'd go with padding the underside of the stairs. But then, we've got a spot on our stairs that only my daughter and the animals are safe from...

I was going to make the same suggestion. Until it becomes instinct, at least make it less painful.

I was pondering it too. I have an extra piece of foam pipe insulation...

That's what I was thinking as soon as I read your post. One year we had foam and duck tape all over the house to protect our oldest when he was young. Unfortunately, he found the one spot in the house we hadn't covered yet, yep, the staircase.

there is still (40 years later) a lump of tape and padding on the bottom front corner of the cupboard over the stove at my parents' house :D

A nice decorative quilt with lots of padding behind it. If you are going to pad, make it look good.
That was the major reason why we didn't buy a certain house. 6 foot stairwell, 6 foot 4 inch husband.
