Mattress, bed or floor??

I sleep on one of those really comfortable foam mattresses, on the floor. When we moved into our apartment, there wasn't any furnishing really, and we didn't own any furniture, except our couch and computer desk. We kept talking about buying a cheap bed frame, but honestly neither my husband nor I really minds sleeping on the floor. Our mattress is very comfortable, and honestly it's safer for me with my vertigo... it makes getting up in the morning easier if I can crawl straight onto the floor and over to the wall first rather than trying to stand up from a bed.

ive slept on many different things in the past 6 months. i am pregnant and a true test would be have a pregnant women sleep on various things.. lol.. i went from sleeping on a mattress on the floor, to a mattress on a bed, to a double stuff extra thick air mattress, to a king size one layered air mattress to a futon.. Now i have two crib mattresse under the futon matress and for me so far this seems to be the most comforatable.. sounds funny i know... but when you cant sleep and cant sleepin comforatble posituions you sleep wehre you can no matter how odd it sounds .. as long as your comfy right?? LOL i used to like the floor.. when i was a teenager my mother had this HUGE solid wod coffee table... i used to put a twin size mattress on it ( thats how big it was) and sleep on that it was my most favorite "bed" ever for at least 2 years!

I'm not particular about sleeping in bed or in mattress. at home I sleep on a mattress on the floor. and I'm comfortable with it. but I can have a comfortable sleep too on bed. they're both soft afterall. ^__^ I can also sleep with only a thin mat or carpet as long as I have a pillow. ^__^ but sometimes if I sleep too long i'll have a backache the next day. ^_^;;

I'm such a sleepy head that I can sleep on any surface LOL. I'm perfectly fine with those portable air beds, which I use when traveling. I'm also perfectly fine sleeping on a carpeted floor, especially clean ones like in hotels. The hard surface can actually help improve my posture since I'm usually slouched.

As long as it has a little softness in it, I'd be able to sleep well.

both can do for me...i can sleep anywhere comfortably! hehehe sleeping on the floor is common here and sometimes i like it better coz i can move well...i mean when i am sleeping mom said that i am moving so much...now my husband and i sometimes sleeps on the floor...we get the mattress from the bed and transfer it to the floor...depends. and when i am really sleepy i can also sleep even on sofa! as long as there's my blanket and fan

it will really depend on the room that I am sleeping in. I have had the luxury of a bed all my life. And I appreciate being able to sleep on one. When I was in camp, I prefer to sleep with the mattress on the floor as it is way cooler than sleeping on the bed. Otherwise, it is always the bed rather than the floor. Unless I am visiting someone and putting up temporary at their home. Of course, between a sofa and the floor during these temporary stays, I would much prefer the sofa.

My current bed is very very comfortable. But I enjoy sleeping on a mattress on the floor if it's a good one. There are some baby mattresses that have holes in them (so that the baby doesn't suffocate if they flip and sleep face down in the night) and they are very comfortable too. I don't think I could sleep directly on the floor, army style. Would wake up with a real bad backache.

When I was in Japan, I slept on futon (japanese mattress placed on the floor). It was so comfortable. I am fine with sleeping on a bed and on a futon. I like them both.

Bro.. I agree.. Sleeping on the floor with a mattress is really awesome. Can move about freely, lots of space and I can doze off easily. But like one of your responders have said, it might cause backache. I totally agree too. So how..I still have to make do with the bed. Another alternative? To buy those Japanese mattress; you know without the poles. That one looks cool and I won't suffer backache. So win-win situation..

Hi, kun2349. I would prefer the bed. This is always more comfortable then anything. It is also more firmer and solid.

It's the floor for me! No doubt about it! Lol, when I can't sleep in the night, I will just switch from my mattress to my floor and I will be bound to doze off almost immediately! I had been sleeping on a bed for about 18 years or so before deciding that the bed frame takes up too much space in my room. So, just about 2 years back, I decided to get rid of it and put my mattress on the floor! It was a decision that I had never regretted as sleeping on the mattress on the floor is just so convenient! Lol, if I can't fall asleep finding that it's just too warm, I could switch over to the floor without even having to get up and move downwards! Sleeping on the floor is so cooling, and there is no need for artificial wind like the air con or the fan to be turned on, and that is something which I really like. We have marble flooring in my house, and that is even cooler when it starts to rain, especially now during the monsoon season! It's a luxury in life that not many people have the chance to enjoy. Try sleeping on the floor the next time it starts to rain! I am sure you will get addicted to it as well!

Hi, For me it all depends on the climate. If it is hot, just the floor will do...During fall, need matres and definetly bed in winter.. But I do prefer thin mattress because thick and soft mattresses aggravate the back pain and it isnt good for our back. Also I cant sleep on floor for more than two days consecutively because again I get muscle cramps.

it's my regret one time when i sleep on the floor with foam mattres, i was bit by cockroach so i dont like sleeping on the floor, though yeay it's cool cause you are connected to the earth and the cement but it's not safe for me...

I like sleeping on a rug floor. I've been doing it all summer. Maybe I just felt a little tired sleeping on my puffy bed and wanted a change. It is pretty comfortable and I have no trouble falling asleep. I think it's great to sleep on the floor and possibly save me the money of buying a mattress in the future. It does hurt a little when I turn though since the floor is still hard even with a rug layer

If it is summer, I sleep on the floor and if it is winter i sleep on a carpet.

I prefer to sleep on my bed which is a platform bed with a foam mattress. The foam mattress is very firm which is good for my aching back, and gives me a quality night's sleep. Also, when you turn over or move around you will not wake your partner for the bed/mattress doesn't move when you do. Which makes for a long and healthy relationship

I've almost always slept on a tradional bed, so for me bed is the most obvious choice of all. I always sleep very well when I am in my bed, but on the occasions when I've had to sleep on the floor or when I've slept on a matress on the floor I don't seem to sleep nearly as well. I think that the reason behind this is that it feels harder to me in the long run and I feel pressure points in my sleep. I've got back problems so the fewer pressure points that I am able to feel while I am sleeping the better.

I like to sleep on the mattress on the floor very much, because it's very hot day, so I won't feel very hot than bed if I slep the matress on the floor.

haha, i didn't have this kind of experience until now.
