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”…
