Lol I know! Plus you reclaim so much space in a small hovel if you can take down your hammock every morning…
Honestly we still do this… japanese futons are the same parallel. We have a permanent bed in western bedrooms where the Japanese temporarily set theirs out and put it away in the morning. I could fit so much more stuff if i did that…
For a long ass period of time Europe slept on rope mattresses
You literally needed to tighten the ropes on your bed to sleep tight so it was comfortable.

Apparently that is not likely to be the origin of the phrase, but I am glad I learned about these early bed frames.
Sooo close to figuring out the hammock

Can’t you store stuff under your bed though? We have several boxes under ours.
I mean i guess I could but I mostly store cats in zoomie mode under there so I’ve never done that.
Sleeping on a futon on a tatami floor is really comfy, too. I find it great for my back (oddly enough).
