Can you sleep in a bed without mattress?

I cant. I think it will be too hard on the back, or the side. I sleep sideways. I willnot be able to relax and sleep. we use an orthopedic bed. the matressis very firm, but not hard. just not soggy.happy sleep,nightie night.

What do you mean a bed without mattress? As in on the e.g. wooden planks? Geez, I haven't tried that before and I doubt I would want to. I would rather sleep on the floor or ground than on a bed as I described that is without a mattress. Over here, I think mattresses (if you are not too fussy about the quality) are a lot cheaper than beds. I can't imagine someone getting a bed instead of a mattress if the choice can be only one of the two. Geez, why? Anyway, do as you please Bebs. If you prefer, sleep on a bed without a mattress. As long as you feel happy and comfortable, I am glad for you. Cheers!

Well...I have slept on the floor and with sleeping bags before...Wasn't comfortable but nothing that I cannot deal with. On a few of these occasions I have gotten some back aches, but that was probably due to me not being used to it at all.

I really prefer to have a bed. But if I am tired enough I will sleep just about anywhere. Including standing up. My wife hates it but I suffer for it in the end. My back will be out of whack for days if I sleep anywhere but in a bed.

I have heard it is somewhat healthy to sleep like that. but i can't do so. its not very much possible for me. i feel uncomfortable. may be its adapting to the situation.

[i]Hi Bebs, I have no problem when it comes to that! When we move to my Mom's province, I was 8 that time and our floor was a bamboo and bed also is made up of bamboo, no mattress at all! LOL! SO, even up to this time, I can handle sleeping on it with maybe a little pain on the beginning now that I am not use to it but for sure I can still handle it, my back will still miss it! LOL![/i]

I don't think so. I can probably sleep on the grass or white sand but certainly not a bed without mattress. I never go camping but if I have to sleep on a bed without mattress I might as well sleep on grass or go to the beach lie down on the white sand. That's what I do in summer actually, I would go to nearest beach and sleep on the white sand there.

i can too, as long as the bed doesn't have nails on it :D, but I prefer to sleep in a bed full of pillow..

Dear friend, When I used to have backache I used to sleep in bed without mattress and it is much effective for getting away from back aches too. It also helps for a better flow of blood circulation too. More much of pains in body too can be relieved.

When I got my first place, I couldn't afford a lot of things. One thing that I did have was the OLD springs that the mattress goes on top of. I was actually putting a couple of sheets over the springs and then go to sleep. It was not the best to sleep on, but it was better that the floor.

Oh gosh no I can not lol...I have to have a soft comfy bed with lots of pillows and a nice soft blanket...I don't know why I am like that...My hubby can sleep on anything not problem!

Good day... I'm used at sleeping on the floor and with no mattress. I mean I hadn't experienced back ache, neck pain or anything like that. I felt good actually on them and up to now I still sleep on one.

I can sleep anywhere. I've slept on the couch, the floor, in a chair, on a bus, even standing up once! Sleep is associated with an actual bed, but not everyone is so fortunate. Think outside the box ya'll!

A good mattress can make or break your sleep. You can not deny the fact that mattresses can give you a more comfortable sleep plus some of the modern mattresses these days have medical uses. So for me, sleeping without a soft mattress is a big no no. =)

No I can't as I wake up totally stiff and I know that because I slept on a hard Mattress a few times and it certainly did not do me any good at all, I suffered a stiff Neck for Days lol so I prefer with the Mattress

i can't sleep on without a mattress, i have problem with my back bone so i must sleep with mattress.

Hi there! I can also sleep in a bed without mattress. In fact when I was still a kid I use to sleep on hardwood with mat only. The experience was fine. I don't feel any back ache and I think its just a matter of getting used to it. It even helped me with having a good posture because my back is always flat on the wood. Unlike on mattresses where your back tends to curve a little especially when the mattress is too soft. Ciao!

Hi friend,I can never sleep without a mattress.But its healthy to sleep on a hard surface.You would never get back aches and neck pains.Doctors say that Sleeping on a hard surface without pillow and mattress is very good for health.But when you get accustomed sleeping on the mattress its difficult to give up and sleep without it.Have a great day.Keep mylotting.

I can... without mattress,am stayed 4years, dubai.my hus used spring cot.but i can't.1st day i feeled,body pain and i can't wakeup.after that i slept floor.its good for myy health,i can wakeup early mor.no body pain, no neck pain. my family doctor also told,you slept floorand used thin cloth.don't used be bed.

I can sleep without a mattress on the bed, or just by putting a mat on the floor too. But then i have a very disturbed kind of sleep as i;m not used to it. But if i have to i don't mind it because sleeping like that continuously many times you tend to get habituated to it. currently i always sleep on a mattress so if i don't get one then my body just pains a little..very little. However there are many times i have slept on the floor or by just putting a mat on the floor.
