I am considering switching from sleeping on a bed to sleeping on a carpeted floor. Did some cursory research online and looks like it may be good for you.
Anybody here do this?

Anybody sleep on the floor instead of a bed?

I once fell asleep on the floor while on vacation, but that was only for about an hour, and it was also only because I just couldn't fall asleep in the bed, and it was 2AM and I was willing to try anything.
Eventually got back in bed and fell asleep that way.

Probably ergonomically not good for you, but give it a try and let us know. (Also make sure to thoroughly clean the carpets, because there are definitely insects/ticks/etc... in them).
Edit: I have slept in a sleeping bag on top of a carpet for about a year. It was fine. Switched over to a bed though.
I'm not sure if tick is the right word, but it's these super small white things that look like dust, but move around.

as someone moving into a room soon that's carpeted, thank you for the new phobia.
Count of Monte Cristo protagonist Edmond Dantès sleeps on the floor because he spent so many year in prison.
Futon can be nice. Space saver if you're in a studio apartment. Easily washable too.
I slept on the floor on a heated pad for several years when I lived in Korea
I've slept on the floor(on a comforter) for over 20 years starting when I was a teen. I've never found a mattress (soft, firm, putting plywood between the mattress and box spring etc..) where I didn't wake up with back aches and headaches. I switched to a thin storable foam pad a few years ago and it's about the most I can do.
Fuck anyone who thinks it's weird. Quality of life and not being in to much pain to work take priority.

I do sometimes. A futon is plenty comfortable.
Though I can sleep well just about anywhere. Every once in a while I'll fall asleep in my computer chair.

I've been sleeping on a carpet a few times due to a lack of bed after moving in. Clearly not as conformable as a bed.
Also much colder and full of dust. If you're a but allergic your eyes are gonna be itching.
0/10 would not sleep on a carpet again.

I do this when I'm traveling.
For some reason I just can't seem to sleep properly in a bed when I'm not home.
Just easier to just sprawl out on the floor, and puts me to sleep pretty quickly comparatively.

I did it as a teenager. My brother doesn't like sleeping with his wife so when I moved in for a while he moved out of his room and just slept on the floor next to her. It's not that bad.
Yeah, OP. Go for it, pick up a futon and enjoy. Not sure why so many in the thread are so negative on it.
Sleeping on a big raised up bed is mostly just a Western European thing exported via colonialism. Plenty of cultures and people sleep on a thin "mattress" on the ground and do great physically.
When I have to sleep I can sleep anywhere and on anything (comfort isn't exactly negotiable when you can't afford to have a mattress that day or aren't in a place with a sofa that night). As long as I can be on my tummy so the rising sunlight doesn't shine in my eyes, everything's manageable
Eh, other cultures do it. I remember it not being very comfy the few times I have (mostly from sleep overs at friends houses and one time because my waterbed sprung a leak, lul). I suppose if you had some padding it could be okay. I'm personally afraid of spiders/bugs having easier access to me on the floor, so I wouldn't do it long term, nope.
