I've slept directly on a carpeted hardwood floor for the past 25 years. I love the firmness, which, I believe, helped nearly eliminate my lower back issues and has given me a deeper, more satisfying sleep. From time-to-time, I'll switch to a Lazy Boy in the middle of the night. I don't use a blanket and have used two firm, rectangular throw pillows in place of pillows. In the morning, I leave no trace behind, and the space is used for other activities.
I highly recommend using this with a tatami mat underneath! It stops the mattress from getting damp and risking mold because the tatami at absorbs the moisture and keeps it dry. Also it’s waayyy more comfy with the mat :) and it’s rly good for your back! I had the futon+tatami mat when I moved to Seattle for 6 months! I miss it
Man! I did this a little over two years ago. It started bc I think my mattress was too old and my back & hips were in so much pain. While I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, I will say for me in 6 months my back pain went away and my posture started to improve. 🤷♀️ My family thought I was crazy… I had family come into town and the people who slept on it said it was actually comfortable. 😂 “Don’t sound so shocked!” 😂 I get it though it’s very out of the norm. I personally get a kick out of doing things unconventionally.😌
We just switched 2 days ago to 2 twin size futons and got rid of the queen bed and mattress. I really love it so far and am surprised how sound I sleep. I would really love a beautiful cabinet or armoire to put everything into during the day, but I can’t find anything deep enough. I was super guilty of lounging in bed during the day, but now with everything folded up, I can’t do that anymore which is a huge pro for me.
I have the opposite problem 😂 . We live in an old (for Japan) japanese house with several tatami rooms (wa-shitsu) and we do everything to cover them with rugs or vinyl flooring to avoid cat scratching, chairs marks, coffee spills etc. Tatami rooms in Japan tend to have a giant oshi-ire (cupboard) that’s super deep so you can fold the futon during the day time. That’s also great for when the step family is visiting, we have space for everyone to sleep. You also want to hang the futons outside in a sunny spot to kill acariens from time to time (fairly normal here, but maybe not super convenient in a small flat in a big western city haha)
I threw out my mattress in 2020 and ever since have been sleeping the floor. I’ve had variations of my floor sleeping ranging from one comforter under me and a few blankets to one sateen sheet under me with a large comforter on top. Now my latest variation which is the best one thus far is nothing under me with an elevation leg pillow to help with pressure ulcers on my heels because oh man I was getting them like crazy every night floor sleeping. And also I have a weighted blanket on top of me to make me feel secure. Then I’ll add a good quality wool blanket for the winter months. I’ll tell ya my back and my whole body feel a lot more stabilized through the day along with my posture being is upright. I recently bought a bed for the times when I do crave a bed but I end up tossing and turning. But when I sleep on the floor I stick to one position, on my back. Maybe a little side sleeping but it’s nothing like the bed where I constantly toss and turn every minute. I’m definitely enjoying floor sleeping for now. I don’t know if I’ll need floor sleeping as a 80 year old but for now I like it.
I got to start sleeping on the floor because my son broke my bed. So I just put the mattress on the floor. After a month I changed the expensive 20cm mattress to a 10cm cheapest IKEA one that we had at home by chance... After a week I told my husband that I am never gonna sleep on a bed again and I wait for him to sleep on the floor one day😁 Backpain is gone. The flat floor supports your bones so your muscles do not need to balance every move you make while you have the little of softness and isolation of the mattress. I do not feel in the morning like the bed has soaked me in during the night, may it be comfortable according to all standards. Just get up. Plus all the pros (and cons) mentioned in the video. Also dreaming of a tatami and real foldable futon. I am sure I will get one one day. Have a nice day!💕
The thing about bedrooms is, they are meant for sleeping. Using it as a workspace adds stress in the room. I know you may not have another place for it, but the living area might be a better spot for it if possible. Without a tatami mat, that essential oil diffuser is a bad idea because of mold. Overall though, I think it's great and much better for our bodies to sleep on a harder surface. Traditional American bedding is essentially an orthotic that our bodies conform to causing all sorts of misalignments of the joints which leads to pain and arthritic conditions. Many cultures around the world sleep on the ground or wooden platforms and they don't suffer from back problems etc.
At least in Germany it's also common to put your futon (or any mattress really) on a bunch of a pallets (Europaletten), you can get really creative with them!
Trust me, the longer you sleep on the floor bed, the more comfy it'll get. I sleep on just the hard floor and I can hardly get myself up in the morning.
Take it from me, get some kind of cushioning. I’m dealing with severe back problems now because I slept on the floor with no support for years after college
Same here ! And I was smiling while reading your comment because if someone never tried and read it he'll think that's weird. Probably. But yes, I sleep so good and actually so much better that now I also want to stay on the floor !
@andreaholcock8992 "floor bed" the key word is bed. A bed is a frame. So the mattress would be on the ground instead of a bed, which is where the cushioning you're talking about comes in. But also, I thought sleeping on hard surfaces is better for your back? How do you usually sleep?
Thank you so much for this video! I was looking into replacing my bed with a futon for space in my room. My mom already has one for me to use but I was worried about giving up my bed. I feel more confident with your input on the subject.
2 yrs ago I started sleeping in my hammock. I like the firmness of a comfy pad on floor but toss & turn a lot & hate getting up. It was great when I was younger but now I hate crawling up from a pad if camping I must use a cot or prefer a hammock. In my room yes!!!! I love the extra space & clean area seeing under it. I have a hippie room. Baskets of wicker, macrame plant hangers, potted plants, candles, a love seat. All open space. Also, I took the doors off my closet. It is organized w/ a storage cedar chest under & hat boxes. I enjoy seeing my organized things.
Cool. I'm curious if you don't feel cold. I've been sleeping on a regular thick matress placed directly on the floor this past week and it gets very cold. For that reason definitely not enjoyable when lounging in my experience.
@@kanpeki having something between the mattress and the floor should help with the cold (and air circulation) - I even used a mattress on the floor with wooden pallets underneath and it was cozy! Also in the colder months I had an additional warm blanket I sleep on top of, but overall it's fine fine for me :)
Sounds like me. Tomorrow I’m dumping my bed and shikibuton is arriving tomorrow too. But the shikibuton is 4 inches and full size. So am worried about airing it out and avoiding mold. Really appreciate seeing your video!
The downsize is that in humid climates the contact with floor or the litle flow of air makes the matress very unhealthy. Plus if you store it during the day it Will keep the "bugs" growing
I lasted a couple of years with one, but I cheated and added egg-crate foam which I rolled away and hid during the day. The foam topper was more comfortable than the actual futon! By the way, the accent is on the O and it sounds like fu-tone.
This was Very enjoyable. Thank you! I'm retired and living in a smaller space. I'd rather have room for crafting than sleeping so this is something to consider.
I like it better. I just did the same thing. Well actually I cut off my bed’s topper and I’m sleeping on that. I really like it too. I agree with your pros. So cool! Thanks for video.
I want to switch my room as well. I was so excited to finally have my own bed, my own room since I had to share a room as child up to as a teenager with one of my parents, basically my entire life. But that meant I bought a full set like a bed frame night stand vanity together right away without considering how I wanted my room to be, to look like and what worked or didn't work. I regret the investment and purchase so wish I could start over, have more space for a desk and shelves. No point in sharing in a 2yr old video, sigh but really do want to do this hopefully soon or I'll die trying I guess
I bet it also felt great finally having your own bedroom set! Changes for me are always slowly evolving, like selling one furniture item so I can shuffle things around and test it all again. I still don't quite have it figured out 😆but that's part of making the space your own
If you had enough room. You could use a 4’x2:5’ low style coffee table as a headboard. Or make one with saw and drill. Then during the day pop the futon on top of it. Adds extra leg room and use as storage. Get good tips from tiny homes on wheels.
The objectively best way to sleep and use up as little space as possible is mixing both. Place a thin mattress/futon on top of a big storage container. Use this space to place basically most of your stuff and have a raised sleeping position at from first on the floor. The only other option which is even remotely comparable in efficiency is to place a rollable futon in the middle of the room and ALWAYS put it away after sleeping to use the floor as yoga, workout, walking area. You only need those three things: sleep, workout/movement and storage. And horizontal space is Carly more valuable than vertical because it can serve all three purposes, where vertical only can storage. Therefore it is vital that the horizontal space either be multi functional, OR be only used for one thing at a time. Which is why you either use it for BOTH sleep and storage. OR use it for sleep ONLY when sleeping and then manually use it as workout/movement afterwards (by manually removing the mattress every day.) These are the two options, unless you go overboard with resources like a too big house etc. Which by itself is sub optimal and not ideal, and ideal is what life is about striving for, like a compass. Having a vastly to big use of building space is like eating excessively at McDonald's, so stop it, get some help. And thankfully this is the simple core logical principle you need to optimize your personal "pod".
I have an idea for your cables. You could use a basket to hold your power strip Cotton or light or white colored wicker. and drill some holes for the cables. I'm really enjoying this video. So nicely made. I've been on a mattress topper for half a year now because i plan to move soon.
Samera (Sam) I subscribed to your channel because: 1) You are so beautiful. I really mean it. 2) I love your videos and appreciate the time you put in for us.
I don't like the idea of setting up when u need to relax your back and go back to work again. But I get the idea of utlizing your room even more. Looks nice.
v nice, i've been planning doing this in my home after living on a tatami mat and folding it away when not-sleeping last year for a perfect transition process + space availability... thanks for sharing!
i couldn't give up the storage under the bed , but the mattress went replaced with a sheet of plywood and a pallet of blankets and a thin cot mattress ,i have a woven plastic mat on the bottom that breaths and keep moisture in check ,,, my backs much happier,,, try it ii takes 4 days to get used to hips wont be happy at first use more padding at first
I dont know where you live but from time to time I had to check the tatami mat to make sure there were no Bugs. If you live in a humid place, keep that in mind.
Great conclusion at the end ! With time priorities are changing! I would wish greens who think the will bike even with kids who have their extra after school activities would not want to ban cars in general because at their 20s they think cycling is something they would all do their lifetime and just for leisure....
You could have just replaced your bed slats with plyboard and placed your futon over it. Bed Slats just don't provide the proper support no matter how good or expensive, they will always sag along with the weight of the mattress.
I use futon about 10 years now .. I've had 1.8x2m for about 7 years and now I have much lighter, smaller and flatter 0.9x2m with original tatami under it (I was very surprised how heavy it is :O ) ..
I have a tiny house and my dog has bad joints and is getting older, I hate having him jump and there’s no real room for stairs, and then I could just have that space back, thanks I’m really considering
What brand is this? I’ve been looking around for a couple months but love how you fold it up into a tiny couch. I absolutely do not want to invest in a big heavy couch but don’t think I can do this with the ones I’ve been looking at on amazon
Sleeping on the ground is just fucking nice for some reason.....Nobody knows why. You could also try getting rid of youre bed stands and just out the frame on the ground. Maybe its something like sleeping high. You can also see if you can buy a high bed so thta you have room under it.
I committed this mistake years ago. After a while, maybe two to 3 years, it became even more flat, my spine did not like it as it liked at the beginning, when it gets cold and specially if you have humidity, you could experience a real nightmare! Folding the futon at first, seems cool, but with time, you just don' t feel doing it everyday for so long. Well... I simply gave up after it was getting wet and difficult to carry and to dry it! I lived in a huge house with a big yard to bring the futon to dry in the sun, but the futon is super heavy as it's made of pure cotton (the smell of the cotton is wonderful, I truly enjoyed), with time, it will get heavier with the body sweat and humidity of the air, and you end up with no energy to put it in the sun. Anyways... I guess Japanese people really had no better option when they made up futons!
Yo así quiero conseguir uno por ahora solo tengo mi colchón y lo levanto por las mañanas pero es uno grande y quiero comprar uno más pequeño y a mí me encanta el espacio que me queda cuando quitó la cama todo limpio
I know I'm late to the party, However I live in the US, How much is that bed frame you have? I am interested in purchasing one. Thank you and your video/content is amazing!
I've slept like this for years. A few Pros you missed were 1) Never stub your toe again 2) any box you have is a fine nightstand 3) You can put your snacks, drinks, lube, toys, everything right next to you during sex 4) No falling off the edge! The cons though are 1) Harder to get out of bed if you're injured 2) Gotta keep that floor very clean always
I wanna do this, but not sure if I should. My bed is a couch, it turns into a bed, but just has a mattress on it, debating whether I wanna do it or nor
Adding a Tatami below the Futon looks like a good idea in terms of hygiene and breathability but wouldn't that be a handicap in terms of space, which was one of the reasons and benefits on take this floor sleeping aproach firstly?
Are there things to look out for when getting a tatami? Must they be the super expensive actual japanese kind or do the Chinese polyester knockoffs on Amazon work fine?
I saw your window frame it's something different from Indian window. Can you tell me something about your window.. i.e. Which brand. It's really quality. And seems it has a rubber sealing too... Alpesh Soni from India. Transcript 6.18
I'm about to move into a new apartment to start university and since I have to buy a new bed anyway I'm considering a futon, especially cause the student apartments aren't very big... would you still reccomend it after a few months?
I'm still using it! It's definitely a space saver which is awesome. It is a little more upkeep with having to keep the floors regularly clean since you sleep so low. But the reality is I don't pack up my futon all the time and I get a little lazy some weeks which is okay too ;) If you like to study / work on a bed, the futon (when set as a bed) may not be the most comfortable, unless you're used to work on the floor or with a low table since it gives you a different kind of support while sitting. New apartments are always exciting - good luck!
I've been scrolling through the comments but am not finding the link or a description of rht futon you feature here. I'm in Canada and been spending a LOT of time googling and still have no clue what to get. Could you post that link for us? thanks
hi! the futon I have is from Nejfuton, but they are made in Europe (where I am located) so i'm not sure it helps your search so much. In my new video I also have a new futon from Nejfuton with some latex filling if you're curious of the differences. good luck :)
the 1 year update is here! ruclips.net/video/-Ks5jwl1Jww/видео.html
Where to purchase one of theses?
Yeeeees, please update 😢
@@Yaayo90 there's already an update video on my channel 😉
yes please!
As a Japanese, when we use futon on European style floors, we use a duckboard called sunoko（簀子）to keep futon cleanly!!
Thank you for the tip!
what would you suggest for someone who has carpet? (in america)
@@SarahKey I think sunoko is fine
What do you do with sunoko during the day, does it fold away?
If I put futon directly on carpet floor?, is that okay? In canada
Should I do an update video in 6 months or so?
Absolutely!
Yes please, would love to see one
Yes pls! Would really appreciate it. :)
Yes!
Yes please!
I've slept directly on a carpeted hardwood floor for the past 25 years. I love the firmness, which, I believe, helped nearly eliminate my lower back issues and has given me a deeper, more satisfying sleep. From time-to-time, I'll switch to a Lazy Boy in the middle of the night. I don't use a blanket and have used two firm, rectangular throw pillows in place of pillows. In the morning, I leave no trace behind, and the space is used for other activities.
I highly recommend using this with a tatami mat underneath! It stops the mattress from getting damp and risking mold because the tatami at absorbs the moisture and keeps it dry. Also it’s waayyy more comfy with the mat :) and it’s rly good for your back! I had the futon+tatami mat when I moved to Seattle for 6 months! I miss it
This is what I'm looking into now. Is the tatami good enough for air flow. Do you remember if your tatami stayed dry.
Thank for any help.
what if you sun the mattress weekly? and roll it up each day to put away? kind of seems excessive to buy a mat

You need to do a video on your room setup sometime soon!
I think I loved the pro of cleaning more often
I barely dust because my bed covers everything so it doesn’t show the dust and dirt as much but I do need to clean more often
WHY ON EARTH DO U NOT HAVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS ???
aw thanks :) growing slow but steady
@@SameraAbroad i loved this video and i can’t wait to see your progression on this channel !!
Okay but where was that bed frame from? It’s so cute
Had the exact same thought process thinking of tossing the whole bed next bulk 😅
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for the video.
I’m working on my playroom/guestroom
Beds are not just for sleeping..
Right? But it's clear, there are bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens etc. for that too. 😊
Very interesting experiment! Thank you for sharing!
Traditionally East People (Arabs, Chinese, Japanese, etc...) sat, slept , ate, on the floor ; furniture like chairs , table , etc... were rare !
I’d like to know where you got the bed you got rid of 👀
What did you do with the old bed?
Great video and editing...hope you are doing well on the floor, probably the best in the long run
my old bed was donated since it was still in good condition :) thanks for enjoying the video
I have a tiny house and my dog has bad joints and is getting older, I hate having him jump and there’s no real room for stairs, and then I could just have that space back, thanks I’m really considering
If I get this type of bed style is to get rid of my bed frame so I don't have to lift too much furniture if I ever have to move out.
What brand is this? I’ve been looking around for a couple months but love how you fold it up into a tiny couch. I absolutely do not want to invest in a big heavy couch but don’t think I can do this with the ones I’ve been looking at on amazon
Where was your bedframe from? its so beautiful
Maybe you should give the fold-down bed another try...
Amazing that you made a 14min video over getting a futon mattress 😂 I’m actually impressed
Sleeping on the ground is just fucking nice for some reason.....Nobody knows why.
You could also try getting rid of youre bed stands and just out the frame on the ground.
Maybe its something like sleeping high.
You can also see if you can buy a high bed so thta you have room under it.
I put cables into baskets since I have a cat, so maybe that could make it prettier.
Good video, thanks for the info😊
I enjoyed this video, thank you for posting!
Where did you get the mattress from? Love the way it folds and can be repurposed as a sofa!
I committed this mistake years ago. After a while, maybe two to 3 years, it became even more flat, my spine did not like it as it liked at the beginning, when it gets cold and specially if you have humidity, you could experience a real nightmare! Folding the futon at first, seems cool, but with time, you just don' t feel doing it everyday for so long. Well... I simply gave up after it was getting wet and difficult to carry and to dry it! I lived in a huge house with a big yard to bring the futon to dry in the sun, but the futon is super heavy as it's made of pure cotton (the smell of the cotton is wonderful, I truly enjoyed), with time, it will get heavier with the body sweat and humidity of the air, and you end up with no energy to put it in the sun. Anyways... I guess Japanese people really had no better option when they made up futons!
Yo así quiero conseguir uno por ahora solo tengo mi colchón y lo levanto por las mañanas pero es uno grande y quiero comprar uno más pequeño y a mí me encanta el espacio que me queda cuando quitó la cama todo limpio
I know I'm late to the party, However I live in the US, How much is that bed frame you have? I am interested in purchasing one. Thank you and your video/content is amazing!
very cool. keep the good vids
Where you able to find a good tatami! I am waiting for my futon to ship but still can't find a reputable tatami website
I would've gotten an modern day lazy sofa futon
Hello, thank you for your video! I didn't see anywhere what brand of floor mattress you got? Could you please share their name when you have a chance?
Hi! Nejfuton (they are made in Europe where I am located)
How do you deal with moisture and mildew? That is number one problem when not using a slatted frame.
I've slept like this for years. A few Pros you missed were
1) Never stub your toe again
2) any box you have is a fine nightstand
3) You can put your snacks, drinks, lube, toys, everything right next to you during sex
4) No falling off the edge!
The cons though are
1) Harder to get out of bed if you're injured
2) Gotta keep that floor very clean always
I wanna do this, but not sure if I should. My bed is a couch, it turns into a bed, but just has a mattress on it, debating whether I wanna do it or nor
Me llamó mucho la atención tu canal, pero no sé inglés 😢. Deberías subtitular. Saludos ❤
Question for you and others in similar situations:
Would you still consider this option if you had a bigger house?
I like your bed fram where did you get that?
Nice !!
the title should be (my new ninja way) haha
Where is that bed from? I love the frame
Adding a Tatami below the Futon looks like a good idea in terms of hygiene and breathability but wouldn't that be a handicap in terms of space, which was one of the reasons and benefits on take this floor sleeping aproach firstly?
you can get foldable tatami mats!
Are there things to look out for when getting a tatami? Must they be the super expensive actual japanese kind or do the Chinese polyester knockoffs on Amazon work fine?
What’s the manufacture of the previous 🛌 bed you took out of the room
We have been sleeping on the floor for three years now and will never switch back to a "normal" bed.
That's awesome to hear!
thanks for the video! :)
I saw your window frame it's something different from Indian window. Can you tell me something about your window.. i.e. Which brand. It's really quality. And seems it has a rubber sealing too... Alpesh Soni from India. Transcript 6.18
I'm about to move into a new apartment to start university and since I have to buy a new bed anyway I'm considering a futon, especially cause the student apartments aren't very big... would you still reccomend it after a few months?
I'm still using it! It's definitely a space saver which is awesome. It is a little more upkeep with having to keep the floors regularly clean since you sleep so low. But the reality is I don't pack up my futon all the time and I get a little lazy some weeks which is okay too ;) If you like to study / work on a bed, the futon (when set as a bed) may not be the most comfortable, unless you're used to work on the floor or with a low table since it gives you a different kind of support while sitting. New apartments are always exciting - good luck!
I have Rilakkuma too!
hehee:)
Can I buy your old frame
I'll stick with my Puffy Lux mattress
I can also respect that 😄
Just use your mattress without the bed.
Can you please tell me the name of that music ❤
Maybe I missed it but did you say the name of the futon?
Have you done a video about reading The Hobbit? :)
ha no, but should I? It appears a lot in my room videos doesn't it 😆
Hey, what size futon is this? For 2 ppl , did you get from Amazon ?
I've been scrolling through the comments but am not finding the link or a description of rht futon you feature here. I'm in Canada and been spending a LOT of time googling and still have no clue what to get. Could you post that link for us? thanks
hi! the futon I have is from Nejfuton, but they are made in Europe (where I am located) so i'm not sure it helps your search so much. In my new video I also have a new futon from Nejfuton with some latex filling if you're curious of the differences. good luck :)
Though it helps me, thanks from bavaria😙✌🏻
