Zen Japanese architecture

because your body gets used to the hard floor

Seriously first night I slept on the floor was hell achy as hell and shit but after a week you'll sleep fine and wake up with no aches

you are just too used to a soft bed

softie softie, doesnt understand that your body gets used to it. What are we, retarded and 4. Use your brain for a sec dum dum

>>3061055
Ehh I go camping for a week and it just gets worse and worse. Maybe I'll try doing it for longer to adapt but I am skeptical.

>>3061047
Poor guy here, I sleep on the floor, and it honestly isn't bad once you get used to it.

Also forgot to mention that a lot of muscle/joint aches come from having underdeveloped muscles in places relative to how you sleep.

I actually enjoy it, it straighten your body posture if you do it long enough

It must have blew their minds when they were finally introduced to Chinese/ European style furniture en mass huh?
Why did they never adopt Chinese style btw? China also has normal chairs and bed frames that were more off the ground.

kek. I guess so.

You save a lot of space when all your furniture is the floor

True, Japs did always have tiny houses.

chinese national here.

We actually use this thing called a 竹席, meaning literally bamboo sheet, in summertimes when sleeping in a bed is just too hot and humid without AC. Most chinese people still can't afford/is too stingy to use their AC in summer, so we use the bamboo sheets and sleep on the ground as an alternative.

The charpoy bed is used the same. I want to make one for myself.

It's comfortable if you know how to position yourself. You are trying to sleep on the ground the same way you sleep on a bed. Do you run the same way you swim? If so, you are bound to get friction burns.

i slept on my back straight and it still sucked.
But yeah, whatever, I guess I'm not used to it. Soft high rise beds are the life for me.

Is the bamboo mat even soft?
I would prefer te Charpoy since it is higher off from the ground. Idk, just being flat on the ground makes everything worse.

>>3061663
Because you're sleeping wrong. I prefer to sleep on the ground, because I am too tall for most beds. My feet hang off. Beds are also terribly hot, but I assume you're stuck with cheap carpet anyway so 'cool ground' is nonexistent already.

>>3061670
Yeah it can get cold on the ground which is why it's believed elevated beds were first created to deal with cold drafts. The Japanese sleep with comforters though.

I am not a lanklet, so I can sleep on beds normally. I also live in a temperate zone so beds are best most of the year. I actually don't have carpeting in my house.
During summer I sleep in my underwear with a thin/no cover.
Or I can just keep the A/C if it is really hot.
I don't see why temperature should make me sacrifice physical comfort.

>>3061677
Not just temperature, physical comfort! It's very much more comfortable even after you get used to sleeping on the floor.

>>3061047
It's apparently best to sleep on a flat hard surface. It's allows your spine to settle straight.

sauce? I think you mean flat "firm"(not necessarily hard) mattress.
And that is mostly for infants anyway to prevent SIDS. The "flat" part particularly.

>>3063770
Why do you think tatami are hard or stiff? They're actually more comfortable than spring mattresses. A bound stack of them the height of a typical mattress would be very comfortable. They are 'firm'.

>>3061518
Kot knows comfy.
