I started sleeping on the floor about six months ago. Carpet, thin duvet folded beneath me. I’ve looked at a dedicated shikibuton-type-setup, but the paradox of choice has stricken pretty hard.

It wasn’t from any sort of plan or goal, I just started doing so after some time spent crashing on my living room floor watching movies with my roommate.

I like that I get up quicker in the morning. And it’s been a more dedicated sleeping setup than a bed has ever been. Surprisingly, I’ve found that almost every time I’ve slept on a normal mattress (few different ones) since, I’ve had some back or neck pain the next day.

When our first kid fell out of our continental bed and smashed his mouth all bloody. We started sleeping on the floor. That was 4 years ago, and we have moved twice since. we are still sleeping on the floor.

We wan't to get bed, but a very low one. Mattress on the floor is nice, but it's actually good have have some kind of airflow below the mattress, I guess for ventilation.

Japanese use futon driers, partly because local weather, partly because they need to be ventilated.

We’ve slept on the floor for few months after childbirth, but then tried bed and were like “ah damn this is so much better”…

Yeah, sleeping on the floor is great!

My back feels so much better when sleeping on the floor than it does on even the firmest of mattresses, and most mattresses are way, way too soft for me.
