I started with sleeping without a pillow and transformed step by step all the way to floor sleeping. I think most problems comes actually with a pillow. Once I tackled pillow first, got used to it, there wasn't anymore a challenge to sleep in the floor.
You're right! If you look at children, they don't need a pillow! I recently bought a buckwheatpillow because sleeping without one was just a bit too much.
Thank you for filming this series on floor sleeping. It’s such an inspiration! We started our “furniture free” transition after watching Movementum’s apartment tour on RUclips. We lowered the dining table to 35cm high and then, months later, did the same to our office desks. Now we're getting rid of our bed frame and, after we move, buying a latex topper to sleep on.
Thank you for your insights in this topic! I sleep on the floor for one year now, based upon my experiences ... while camping! The thin mattress was perfect during the three weeks in a tent. The problem with dust or mold is easy to fight: I sleep on a yoga mat (8mm thick) with a futon ( 3 cm thick) and both are easy to place in the sun or outside to let them become fresh. Every morning I just take 'my bed' this makes the room free. I also live on the floor (furniture free) and this helps tremendously with (hip) flexibility and mobility, especially when your body gets older.
I started with only a yoga mat. Now I have a thin kapok roll mat and two duvet cover on top of a tatami. 1 month in and I like it but I can't really tell more about since i don't have many physically issues at the moment. I dont have any pain, but I would recommend to start with a thicker futon or something. Thank you for spreading the word to living a more natural life. ❤
Thank you for sharing! So you will continue sleeping like that? ☺️
It still feels good to sleep like this and I feel like I have less tension in my body. It just feels natural. ❤ Greetings
I started sleeping on the floor a few months ago and I am constantly evolving in the way I sleep and it is still a bit of an adjustment. I use multiple pillows for my knees and head. For my neck, I mostly use a neck roll or a bolster type of pillow made with buckwheat husks which I was able to adjust to the right level of thickness for me. I need to get a body pillow and a tatami mat. That's next. I enjoy sleeping on the floor because it's cooler and I find it easier to do my stretches because I'm not sinking into the bed. I still have a little back pain, but that's because of previous injuries, however, I'm in for the long-haul benefits. I even have an inflatable camping mattress to carrying with me when I travel. Great video and thanks for the updates.
Thanks for watching! It is indeed a process, but finding what works for you is really what this is all about!
I hsve watched a couple of videos and this was the most informative one. thanks
Thank you for your comment!
Thanks for the update. Have you tried a Japanese style buckwheat pillow (14x20)? I’m concerned about shoulder stiffness when side sleeping.
No I haven't, but now I want one to experiment 😝
I've been sleeping on my side without any issues to my shoulders.
nice very underrated
Thanks bro!
I will try it in a month, during a holiday. I wake up stiff every morning and I hope it will be better after a week.
Awesome! Let me know gow it goes!
So, I tried to and I am glad I did it. Now I sleep on harder Mattress and it feels like I can sleep everywhere better. It’s still not perfect for me, but I think my body and mind needs more movement.
instead of putting it directly on the floor, put the mat on a low platform bed frame;
you get air circulation between you and the floor.
PS you will need to replace the bed frame's wooden slats with hardwood plywood.
But doesn't it stop the circulation under the matress/futon/.. once replaced with plywood?
hi lottebu, to be honest, i always tilt the whole mattress on it's side after waking. the plywood provides a firmer support, as well as allowing air to flow between the bed and the floor. but the only way to find out if it really does keep the mattress dryish, is by doing your own experiment at home. feel the underside of the mattress upon waking...
Hi, Ik slaap nu sinds een maand op een hardere ondergrond. Eerst twee weken op de vloer, met wat dekens en een matje eronder (vond ik heerlijk!) En nu sinds twee weken met een echte futon matras,omdat ik gewoon graag naast mijn man wil liggen. Futon ligt zachter dan vloer maar nu komt het..ik word helemaal niet uitgerust meer wakker sinds die futon.. Ik kom moeilijk uit bed,voel me zwaar en soort van of ik uit narcose kom. Dat duurt zeker een uur en gedurende dag ook sneller moe. Geen pijntjes, en op zich vind ik het wel lekker liggen. Zou dit tijdelijk zijn? Een soort diepe ontspanning waar ik doorheen moet, of is het toch niet geschikt voor mij? Ik geef het nog eens twee weken sowieso, maar ben nog geen fan van de futon ervaring..
Mogelijks is die futon toch nog te dik. Veel mensen raden inderdaad zo'n traditionele futon aan, maar als ik die online opzoek, lijken deze te dik te zijn om nog voordeel te halen uit die harde ondergrond. Mogelijks is een dekentje als matras al meer dan genoeg!
You need a buckwheat pillow!
I know right!! 🫣
hi, is de futon matras ook van sasa store? Edit: ik lees net dat het 5 cm schuim is maar het ziet er lekker zacht uit wat voor schuim is dat en waar heb je die vandaan?
Hey, die matras heb ik niet van sasa store. Eigenlijk is het de matrastopper van mijn oude latex matras in zijn hoes.
Maar als ik futon opzoek komt het eigenlijk een beetje op hetzelfde neer. Vandaar dat ik vereenvoudigde en futon zei.
@lucmermans37 mijn matrastopper die ik gebruik is van natuurlijke latex gemaakt dus daar zit het wel goed 😉
Do you think it Did anything for your sternum pain?
Maybe not directly, but it helped me keep it away. Because it relieves the muscles betweens the shoulders.
BR where did you get the Tatami mat you use?
I got this from this store, mainly because it ships free and is close to where I live.

danke schoen@@BarRookie
Do they make a raised platform for the tatomi mat?
Yes
Link for the tatami?
sasastore.nl/futonbedden/authentieke-japanse-tatami-mat/ this is where I got it, but it is in europe.
That's one step from sleeping on the sidewalk on a piece of cardboard. LOL
🤫 you can't tell them my next move!!
But in all seriousness, it is really worth trying 😉
If that day comes at least you will sleep well at night and be ready to beat everyone else who can’t adapt lol
