Anybody sleep on the floor instead of a bed?

This is what i may end up doing. It sounds wonderful really.
I may also do this. I just dig the idea of sleeping closer to the ground. I used to sleep on a wooden futon years ago about a foot off the ground and remember getting amazing sleeps.

I slept in a sleeping bag on a floor for six months when i broke my bed and couldn't be bothered to buy a new one, and i had amazing sleeps. Love it, i could easily not have a bed, but need one for social norms!
During summer it's great, so much cooler down on the floor

But then you have to put away what would occupy its space when you use it...
I had a really old bad mattress when I first moved out on my own. It actually was terrible for my back. I threw it out with the bed and started sleeping on the floor with sheets, pillows, etc. Honestly it was some of the best sleep I've ever had. So that for about 2 1/2 years. Since then I've gotten a memory foam mattress that is pretty decent, but if I ever have bouts of stuff back/neck from the bed/mattress I head back to the floor for a nights rest.
Only when I was with my GF who only had a single bed in her room. Other than that, no I sleep in a proper bed.
I use mine in a location where a bed would be in the way, but not a fold up futon. I fold it in thirds in the morning and if it's in my closet that's even more space.
Mmmmm I'm loving all these casually racist takes from Westerners about how normal people don't sleep on the floor. Keep it up, mates, maybe you'll reform the savages one day after all.
Sometimes when I get back pain for a few days I'll sleep on the floor for a few nights and it helps somehow.
I've been sleeping on the floor for ten years. Not through choice (long story).
I do put the sofa cushions down though. I'm just used to it now. I think it has helped my posture, I'm 37 and I've never had back problems.

We have a 3 inch foam mattress out of our camper on the floor in my den. Originally my wife brought it in, so she could look into getting a cover for it. I sleep on it all the time. We do need a new mattress, but for now I think I prefer the floor with 3 inch foam.
lol only on era can people get away with stupid hostile hot takes...lol fuck anyone...lol what a joke
I've done it a couple of times due to the circumstances, but it made my back feel great.
Doing it at times is definitely good for you.

"Lol, Lol, Lol." Hot take? I sleep on the floor to combat chronic back problems, glad it amuses you :)

I tried sleeping on the carpet for about a week before my bed arrived.
Nearly broke me. Took me about an hour every morning to recover.
A carpet may look soft but it is much much harder than a bed.

Well, I was just looking at some foam mattresses at Walmart today and i just may do that. Do you still put a bedsheet on it? I probably would. I love the idea of sleeping on the floor for back support/benefit, which is my primary motivator, but on foam just for a bit more comfort. I think I found my solution!
I have chronic back problems* and have slept on the floor before but I'm OK with joking about it. Glad you dispute my right to slight wry amusement. Ever consider that YOU'RE the monster?
* massive disc lesion at L4, L5 with surgeries to remove bone and tissue and relieve pressure in canal and fluid. I sleep on the floor if I get certain kinds of spasm.
There was a time in my life where my bed consisted of a mattress on the floor. Does that count? I honestly kind of liked it.
My message was aimed at Staedler, only after I posted did I realize it might seem I was targeting everyone else. I apologize.
"The why can't you fuckers be normal" meme bothers me as it's thread shitting and shuts down conversation, and even though you were doing a twist on it I didn't think this thread warranted it's use. I'm sorry about your back issues, my older cousin had rods inserted and vertebrae fused(Scoliosis) when I was a kid and his suffering really affected me.

Some people in this thread are acting like sleeping on the floor once is some crazy cred right of passage.
Like we're y'all never kids/teenagers? I've slept on the floor so many times due to just weird circumstances. I wouldn't prefer it or recommend it now, but every now and then laying down on a hard floor for a while can feel great.

no need as encompassed above. I also enjoy a firm mattress and reject box springs.
Don't put your mattress on the floor, you can get mold.
We use a tatami and a futon on top, it's so much better then a bed and you save a lot of space.
I have slept on a bare floor plenty. Can get pretty cold honestly. Do not recommend.

i slept on the floor (on a mattress) for a few months a couple of years ago when my bed frame broke it actually felt a lot better but had to go back to a normal bed after a while
I had a bed when I was a kid and teenager... I've never slept on a floor. Why would I sleep on a floor as a kid or teenager?
To answer the question, no I have never slept on a floor and I'd never be able to fall asleep that way.
Not if you want to have sex with most romantic partners.
I sleep in a giant ass platform bed with me and the Women of the house.

You never went to parties or sleepovers or anything where you ended up sleeping on the floor?
No, when my best friend slept over or I slept over at her house we slept together because we had double beds. My friends and I never had huge sleep over parties, it was usally only 1 to 2 other people.
