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.
Yoga mat is about perfect for me IF sleeping on my back. Floor not bad. Bed is much better for sleeping on my side though. Absolutely hate sleeping cold though. Cold will wake me up every time.
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.
Im on the edge but leaning toward upvoting. Sometimes the floor is great and temp is a big reason as well as sometimes the firmness but then there is just being with the dog or having my legs elevated on the couch. Its sorta fun to. All the same I really like my bed and would not want to give it up day to day.
A tatami mat might work for you.
Agreed. Couches and cushions make poor posture, carpet collects dust, and most fabrics shed microplastic. Never be ashamed of your thirst for clean hard wood.
