I had a fancy ass futon for about 2 years, first on the floor and then with all kinds of extensions (like a mattress topper and slatted base) it was killing my back. After that I’ve tried 3 different mattresses (two spring ones and a memory foam) and now finally a proper box spring bed from an actual furniture store that the salesperson helped us choose – and my dog does it make a difference! Also buying a good pillow helped a ton. I’ve decided I’m getting too old to sleep in an unsuitable bed. Most of the hotel beds I’ve slept in after getting the new bed feel like crap.
Most nights I sleep on the cheap, hard futon couch I’ve had since college. If I sleep in my actual bed too many nights in a row, my back starts to get stiff.
I never slept on a cheap thin mattress, but my mattresses have been on the floor for more than 30 yrs. You can keep your box spring and frame. And I’m 50
Young men, maybe. I’m in my 40s and there’s no way in hell I’m sleeping on a thin mattress on the floor. That would destroy my back.
I spent the last 13 years of my life sleeping on Japanese futons and am now sleeping on a full box spring mattress for the first time since.
I can’t remember the last time I had this much trouble sleeping. What I wouldn’t give to have a “thin mattress on the floor” again.
