I've tried it for the past week laying down a nice cotton comforter and it worked wonders on my back. I actually liked it so much I put my queen bed up for sale. I plan to use the money to buy a proper shikibuton like pic related
Has anyone done it long term? Any complications? Will I be perceived as a poorfag?

It's like you enjoy losing gains
I sleep no pillow when I actually wanna get gains but otherwise a super firm mattress and thin pillow. Just do it op
Christ. No wonder you faggots can’t get girlfriends.
Hi agent scoliy
suck my feminine dick
>My entire life revolves around women
Do not buy that stupid weeb pillow in the picture OP.
I'm not a weeb, I just want to live minimally and these seem at face value like a good natural bed solution after some basic googling
But alright, what do you suggest brah?
bump
am I fucking up or not guys? i need some more people to weigh in
what about when you want to be cozy and comfortable? when you're sick and shit? you can't curl up on that.
no doubt it will enforce strict healthy sleep hygiene by disabling comfortable usage of laptops and stuff but it's sacrificing a lot.
Remember in the Japanesie cartoons you enjoy watching so much how they hang their futons outside? You gotta do that too, to prevent mold and air out the sweat and stuff. You'll like have to do it everyday too.
Be sure to enjoy:
* Breathing more dust and allergens
* Having more bugs crawl on you
* Not being able to sleep on your side
* Not having anyone else sleep with you because they can't stand it
* Being entertainment for trolls
I lived in japan for two years and slept on futon. I have chronic back issues and had to see a physio in relation to said issues once in that period. Now I'm back home and in a bed I've seen the physio probably 3 times in the space of a year for my back.
That said, anecdotes are not data.
Once every two weeks or so is fine. More is better as it fluffs up the futon but i had no issues with that frequency
The allergen thing is a legitimate concern. Although I don't give a shit about bugs (what are you some kinda pussy?) also I'm a back sleeper and dyel mode so no girls
Interesting. Was your futon on a hard floor or a tatami mat?
Wood floor.
I've been sleeping on a yoga mat over a wood floor for about 6 months now after using a queen size mattress for years. No complications yet and I overall just have more space in my room and less shit to clean and laundry. I am more productive as well as I wont linger in bed in the morning or come home and just crash but sit at my desk instead. I sleep on my side and never had back problems to begin with so I can't comment on that. Most people will just perceive you as a hippyfag and not really a poorfag which has been fine for me.
Lol my my girl thought it was weird so i bought a separate (cheap) bed for when she comes over or whatever no biggie dude
Let me fucking tell you something, and listen good.
I threw my bed out when I was moving out of an apartment and into a house. Didn't have the right size truck to move it so I tossed it out of my balcony(3rd floor apartment) into the parking lot and hauled to a trash can. The box spring was crawling with spiders. So in my new house I slept on two blankets, covered up with a comferter and two pillows. It was literally the worst two nights of sleep I had at first. Then the third night was amazing. Deep sleep, instant wake-ups and no more back pain.
All my life I couldn't sleep in a bed for more than 7 hours because my back and kidneys would start hurting and I'd get up out of bed. But on the floor, I could sleep longer, but usually never needed to. Back pain -- gone. Sore muscles after a workout were massaged by the hardness of the floor. My body learned how to relax and give in to the unforgiving floor.
CONT.
Then I changed rooms in the house and had a walk-in closet. I started sleeping in there because the light from my windows was so intense it would wake me up at sunset. The closet was pitch black and just the right size for me. That period of 6 months was the best sleep I ever had in my entire life.
Here's the thing though: you have to explain to girls your situation when they walk into your room and ask "Where is your bed?" I told them the story but eventually dropped it because it's stupid. I had about 50-50 results with having sex. Some girls don't seem to mind it if you put them on the floor, some complain the whole time and still go through with it, and others avoid it nicely. No girl wants to lay in a sexy pose on the floor waiting for you to plow them. I had one girlfriend that would pull me to the floor sometimes but would never sleep at my place since it was too uncomfortable. So then I had to sleep at her place and on that fucking ungodly soft bed. Back problems came back, kidneys hurt and her cats walking all over me.
So yeah, sleep on the floor because it will change your life forever in a positive way. You can sleep over at friends' houses with no problem. Fix posture problems and relax. Don't expect most girls to follow you though.
Nah, I posted this in another thread, but I have a shikibuton or however the fuck you spell it. Been sleeping on it for a few months and I love it. I have anterior pelvic tilt, so I put some cushions under my feet/legs, and it's the perfect thickness where it isn't TOO hard but my ass doesn't sink in and make my tilt worse.
Can't testify about bringing girls back because I'm in a long-distance relationship, and I'll tell you that's a big reason why I decided to not have a mattress, because I had the comfort of not worrying about bringing some chick home and being like, "Oh, let me just unroll my mat."
If I were dating around I would definitely be deterred from considering a floor mat/related, but now that I've been sleeping on one (a twin size), I would definitely consider just upgrading to a queen size shikibuton and if girls aren't too into it, whatever, who needs 'em. I love how much it opens my room up because I live in a major city and my room and closet aren't too big, and I have two bookshelves, a bass and small amp, and an electronic drum kit, and back when I had a queen mattress I had no fkn room - I had to sidle past one of my bookshelves to get in/out of bed. Now I have room for a desk and can just roll the damn thing up in the morning and have a perfectly open room.
If you're into a simple/minimalistic lifestyle, just don't own too many things, or you live in a smaller room, this shit is perfect. Just make sure you can roll it up because that makes all the difference, and keeping it rolled up keeps it from losing its shape. Also, rotate it every week and also flip it over periodically to keep from working a groove into it.
To the person/people saying you sacrifice being able to relax on your bed and be on your laptop and all that, if you're into getting good quality sleep, one of the most common suggestions is not to use your bed for anything but sleeping and for sex to strengthen the neural pathway between your bed and sleep
AYE , THIS NIGGA A VAMPIRE

Make sure it's a shikibuton or something designed for floor sleeping. Don't get a futon cushion. Those wear down very fast. These are meant for floor sleeping and meant to hold up. The one I got from amazon was $60 and some fatties were in the reviews saying it's been holding up for them for months or over a year. Some 400lb fat fuck said he'd been on his for over a year with no problems. Futons aren't meant for constant use. They're meant for guests staying a night or a few.
I no longer have carpet but when I did, I'd occasionally sleep on the floor. no futon no nothing. just a pillow. felt great. love the solidity of the ground.

Have fun knowing she fucks other doods behind your back
there is the opinion that if you were to get injured the hard floor will do more damage than good, your injured knotted areas wont recover well and circulation will be minimal to those areas. a guy suggested that people should be sleeping in beds that are so soft they are uncomfortable, so soft that literally you muscles dont have to stabilise or meet resistance in any way.
>cohabitation
I don't get why you shouldn't be able to sleep on the side. I regularly nap on a thin blanket on the floor and I always do so lying on the side. No problems so far after doing that for years.
I sleep on an Ikea mattress topper, its like a japanese futon but much cheaper in my country.
Been 2 years and love it. But thots fucking hate it.
That's what couches and armchairs are for. Beds are for strictly sleep and sex.
Good idea user. Gonna try this
Is this for real? I’ve had back pain every morning for the last three years. It disappears during the day (especially if I am active), but reappears every morning, forcing me to wake up after 6-7 hours of sleep. I sleep on a hard matress, though... will try the floor for a few days. Any tips?
I actually slept with no pillow under my head and a pillow under my legs last night, and holy fuck my back was 10/10 when I woke up.
I started sleeping on the floor (it's carpeted) and it's based af desu
actually one day i just fell asleep watching stuff on my phone while lying on the floor
liked it so much i kept doing it
