    Great video. There is another option. Once you visited the Melk Abbey, you skip your lunch at Melk. Instead, you take the boat ride to Durnstein. Have lunch there and explore the town, hike to the castle ruins. The next boat will arrive in 2 or 3 hours. It is free to ride to Krems if you already have the previous boat ticket.

    I love your style and I love low furniture ❤ I’m currently decorating my lounge which I also sleep in ! I sleep on a single old bed from the 70s .. I cut the legs so the bed is slightly lower almost sofa height! And covered it with slip covers and added some cushions ! It looks so nice … have you seen the Ikea beds that sit on top of each other? There’s so many ways you can have them and they are very low as well ! You can buy just the frames or they come with mattress’s. ❤️

    I used to draw in high school but I became ill and gave it up (I gave everything up). So I'll never be an artist, but I'm trying to develop some drawing skills, I have a style but it does need a lot of work - I consider myself an absolute beginner who knows nothing. Yet I would love to be able to paint one day; I'm very drawn to watercolor. I feel very depressed when I don't create something.

    For those who don't care to drag themselves across the floor. You don't literally have to be on the floor. You can have a hard mattress or a futon on a normal bed frame. I fixed my lower back pain by changing my soft mattress for a hard one and kept my bedroom the same.

    • @SameraAbroad
      @SameraAbroad 24 дня назад

      Depending where you live it may help (it's a fairly dry environment where I live), but for me having air to circulate around the mattress by regularly flipping or folding is what I needed to avoid that.

  • @manofthenooch9910
    @manofthenooch9910 Месяц назад

    I move twice a year from and to my home province in Canada to study. A lady was selling her queen size japanese futon for $100 CAD but she ended up giving it for free after I helped her deconstructing her bed base. I had my mattress for 2 years. I say "had" because I am packing up my apartment right now and I lifted my futon (first the first time this whole year..) and it has a lot of mold underneath. I threw away the casing and there's no mold underneath left but I'm still not sure if I should keep it. It's heavy af and I can't find a new casing. I guess I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who had to learn the hard way with his first futon.

  • @Gigusx
    @Gigusx Месяц назад

    Cool video, very informative! I'm also in the research phase right now as I'm planning to get rid of my bed and get something more compact instead, or more accurately something that I can fold/hide during the day. So far a futon and hammock (yes, indoor!) are my best ideas! It sucks that futons have these problems when used directly on the floor because a tatami can easily cost more than the mattress itself, and I imagine it'd be hell to clean cat hair out of it if it gets in 😅 But I still love the idea of switching to a futon, exactly the kind of compact I'm looking for!

  • @axelecrit
    @axelecrit Месяц назад

    Thank you for the informative video! Having spent 7 years in Japan, I’ve grown quite fond of my futon. It was a common practice among my friends and me to air out it on the balcony, flipping them regularly to prevent mold. Similarly, we would give our tatami mats a good airing 1 to 2 times a year. Now that I’ve returned to France, I’m considering purchasing tatami mats and a futon for my flat. However, I’m faced with a challenge: my current flat lacks a balcony and I'm wondering how to manage the tatami space efficiently, given that it won’t be moved daily (due to its weight), to optimize my small living space. The ability to fold and store my futon would indeed be a lifesaver in conserving space. 😊 It would be super helpful if you could share an update on your cleaning routine and space organization after a year of use. Thank you!

    • @SameraAbroad
      @SameraAbroad Месяц назад

      I would love to have a balcony too! It would make the airing out process a lot easier, but I think I'm making it work without so far. Since I don't completely pack away my futon I always fold my futon onto a different area of the tatami everyday, so the different sections of the tatamis as well as the mattress can also breathe during the day. We flip over the mattress every week or so as well. I luckily have large window I can open fully during warmer days and hang my futon on it so the sun and fresh air can get it. But in winter I just take care to make sure everything is staying clean and moved regularly. Maybe I'll make a short video on the cleaning, but i'm definitely no expert! :)

    I've sort of been sleeping on the floor by accident for several years now. The bed frame of my old bed broke and I just didn't bother to replace it. I took those frames with the horizontal slats and put them on this tough but thin mat on the floor and just put my mattress on top of them. I'm guessing (hoping) those frames help keep the moisture from affecting the floor. I'll have to check. I was thinking about going the whole futon/tatami mat route but I have too little space in my house to be able to clear a space in my bedroom to put all the stuff during the day
