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.

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.

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.

Some natural cushioning is needed to appreciate the comfort of the floor, I imagine. I’m too boney for that.

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

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.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
