I Sleep on a Japanese Futon
I sleep on the floor, and I love it. My sophomore year of college, I went on a two week long rock climbing trip with some climbing club friends. It was the longest I'd ever slept in a tent continuously. When I came back home, I flopped into my bed the first night and immediately felt uncomfortable. For the last 14 days I had been sleeping on a 1/2" thick Thermarest camping pad on packed dirt, and that was what my body wanted now I guess. I brought the Thermarest into my room and slept on the floor next to my bed that night. I continued that for the rest of the summer. That was 8 years ago, and since then I've experimented with different setups, from just the Thermarest pad to a 4" foam trifold mattress. I've now settled on a 4" Japanese futon which I totally love. To address what you are no doubt currently thinking, yes, surprisingly, three women in those 8 years actually put up with my floor sleeping setups.. and that was all I needed to keep going wit...
