When I say the floor is comfier I mean it, no mattress or anything, and at most I use the support of a pillow or two. I live in an area where it’s consistently hot, where it really only drops below room temperature in the winter, so for a good majority of the year so falling asleep is difficult. The hot weather makes couches and blankets pick up heat too easily. Even if I lived in a cooler area I would still detest beds and couches since I tend to find soft surfaces to be rather unpleasant. On the other hand, the floor, which usually carpet, usually has a hard surface with a consistent temperature that makes it enjoyable to rest on. I like hard wood floors too since the cold feeling is nice I find to be pretty refreshing, but not in a thirsty kind of way if that makes sense.

Yoga mat is about perfect for me IF sleeping on my back. Floor not bad. Bed is much better for sleeping on my side though. Absolutely hate sleeping cold though. Cold will wake me up every time.
Not really a temperature thing, but I also can’t sleep shit on soft bed or I’ll just get the worst sleep quality and everything hurts in the morning. I’m rather ligh-weight but I’ve always gone for the stiffest possible mattresses because it feels more comfy to sleep on.
And I love to sleep on those thin foam sleeping pads, just the best shit and you wake up so fresh
Im on the edge but leaning toward upvoting. Sometimes the floor is great and temp is a big reason as well as sometimes the firmness but then there is just being with the dog or having my legs elevated on the couch. Its sorta fun to. All the same I really like my bed and would not want to give it up day to day.
A tatami mat might work for you.
Agreed. Couches and cushions make poor posture, carpet collects dust, and most fabrics shed microplastic. Never be ashamed of your thirst for clean hard wood.
I’ve discovered the wonders of a coconut husk mattress. It is hard with some give.
Fantastic for my back. Can’t sleep on soft beds anymore.
Also I use a rolled up towel under my neck for support.
Try sleeping in a hammock. It may be uncomfortable at first, but the body gets used to it, and may grow to prefer it. It provides maximum air circulation around the body during hot nights.
“Room temperature” is such an odd way to refer to a temperature.
It never drops below room temperature in a room. Because, you know, room temperature is the temperature of the room.
That’s not exactly what it means. Bit of a misleading phrase, I suppose.
What I’m trying to say is that it’s nearly always hotter outside than it is in the house.
After my spinal damage from a crash, I can’t lay on the hard floor any more. I have bones and muscles shift around in weird ways that seem to stay out of place. In many ways, my chronic issues are like someone that is much older than myself. You’re likely to experience similar at some point much later in life, when your body physically needs that extra support to stay in one piece effectively.
Yeah but I’m 18 so I have at least a little while.
Oh man, I want that back.
Guy, some of us have AC lol. And a firm mattress is far more comfortable unless you are way overweight.
The AC in the house I live in was broken for a long time until it got repaired recently, but even then by dad never turns it on to save money or whatever. I’m pretty underweight too.
