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.
Guy, some of us have AC lol. And a firm mattress is far more comfortable unless you are way overweight.
“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.
This is room temperature
I have a shikibuton and a very expensive mattress. I vastly prefer my shikibuton and sleeping on the floor. It tends to be cooler as you say, and my cat comes and lays right next to me sometimes rather than on me. Plus the floor is more supportive than the mattress without being overbearing.
I love my bed. I do though sit on the floor in the lounge. I vary better the floor and the sofa. I find it comfortable.
I think it stemmed from when I was younger. My mum was quite obsessive with being tidy. To not mess up the sofa and cushions,.I’d just sit on the floor.
I live in the UK where generally our lounges are carpeted so it’s not a solid floor. Our weather is typical crap though so it’s due to being hot.
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
