9 months in, first 4-5 were because of a back injury. The first month, I hated sleeping on the floor, but I was desperate I was in so much pain..then one day I laid down and MELTED into the floor, and have not slept on a mattress since..I feel so amazing when I get up, even if I am stiff a bit, in minutes I feel great! I had no idea how bad I felt before, I will now be single forever lol.
You don't have to be single dude. You can buy a shikibuton, which is a 2-3 inch thick floor mattress used traditionally in Japan, for 100-250 dollars on Amazon. Using a thin, Asian futon like this should not be too different from sleeping on the floor, and I am sure that most women, if they like you, would not be too turned off by a guy who uses such a mattress for the sake of improving his health. At anyrate, I think that the use of some kind of mattress, such as a Shikibuton or foam mattress topper with proper bedding and covers, would be much more acceptable to a woman than simply sleeping on the floor. I think that most could get over the use of an unconventional mattress if they liked the rest of the package. I think you are right in implying that having them sleep on the floor with you is probably a bridge too far. Some kind of thin, very firm mattress like a shikibuton is the best compromise I can think of.
I slept on the floor last night, my air bed went down. I had been asking the Lord to heal, my body. I initially, had a hard time going to sleep, on the floor. I kept waking up, in pain and rolling over. Nevertheless, I notice, when I did get up, my face was not swollen, and I could feel the bottom of my feet. I slso looked at the clock and noticed, that I had gotten a descent amount of sleep, without constantly, going to the bathroom. My left hip swelling had also gone down. I felt great. I can now feel the bottom of my feet. This Morning, I want to give God the praise, He works in mysterious ways. who would have thought, my healing, would come from laying on a flat surface,. To God be the Glory, for the things he had done.
In India we always used to sleep on floor as kids. The more it got westernised, unfortunately it is becoming a question of status to have a big cot with a bed and sleeping on it ! We need to learn from Japan on keeping the culture intact!
If you go to sleep for 8 hours in that neutral posistion, you wake up stiff as hell! I sleep on the floor, on a yoga matt for 2 years now, love it. Best sleep ever!!
I thought me sleeping on the floor is weird. Now I know there are other people who choose floor over bed. I started sleeping on the floor cos Im too lazy to convert my ikea day bed into queen size. I sleep on yoga mat, 2 pillows under my head (for my vertigo),cushion under my knee if Im facing up and pillow between my knee (for my sciatica) if I sleep on my side. I have been doing this for more than 2 years now.I no longer have back pain and sciatica pain. Im married. Only my husband sleeps on our bed now. I still sleep next to him..just on the floor😁
First night sleeping on the floor. I feel like a new person. My mind always got rest while sleeping on a mattress, but I feel like this is the first time my body has completely rested. It’s a wonderful feeling. I just slept on the hardwood floor with a comforter under me. I might get a mattress topper to sleep on. Probably not right away though.
I remember I used to be poor and my grandfather worked in car upholstery. He made my bed out of upholstery foam too. It's all come full circle. I always thought floor sleeping was way better. Now I know for sure.
I’ve slept on the floor 4 years now. Just pillows on the carpet and a blanket. Two pillows to support the neck and one in between the legs for the back. If I sleep in a bed I wake up with pain. Floor is more comfortable.
I grew up sleeping on the floor always felt better than a bed. Joined the army slept on iron and concrete.. now I'm out I bought a bed for my gf and had constant back pain.. she's gone so is the bed and my back pain lol.. also I feel more Solid or rigid like I'm sculpted out of marble. I feel like I get stronger on the floor.
My whole life I've slept on an unleveled couch with high cushions because I grew up poor but now that I've moved and don't have said couch or a mattress I now resort to sleeping on the floor and I've noticed that my back doesn't hurt as much anymore
I have a high density foam futon style mattress .. one month in.. my body doesn’t ache when I wake up anymore ..I sleep really well.. I love the fact that it’s all put away nice and clean and I roll it out at night.. The space feels wasted if I had a bed now.. I’m ordering the same foam to do out my new little camper car..
I moved into a new apt and slept on the floor. The next day my body was in so much pain. Prior to than I been sleeping on a twin for 5 years, which wasn't good. However every matress bed has been uncomfortable. I ordered a firm Futon mattress because the best sleep I gotten was on a futon bed. So I can't wait to get it. I also got a mattress topper. I have back issues and the futon has been the only thing that has helped.
I've had back pain for a while now, and seing a chiropractor was a good solution but i always ended up hurting myself again. And i remember that when i was young , my dad had back pain too and often slept on the floor. I've tried it yesterday , and it honestly make a big difference! In winter i will sleep on a bed, because i live in a cold country , but as long as it's hot enough to sleep on the floor , i will do it. Thanks agai for the answer!
I’ve been researching floor sleeping on a shikibuton for years now, and this past week I finally pulled the trigger when my parents were in need of a bed for their guest room. It started mostly as a way have more space to move in my bedroom and be more creative during the day, but it’s also turned into a good move for my well-being. I’ve had issues with sciatica on and off for years now, and a little over a week ago another flare up happened… I woke up from night three of sleeping on a thick yoga mat under a four inch thick memory foam mattress topper and I have felt this awake a refreshed in my adult life. My back has improved tremendously in the past three days. I was hesitant for a long time for fear of my friends and family thinking it was weird. However, I am totally over that stigma cause it’s worth it and tbh when I’ve talked to people about it they totally get it and want to try it themselves!!
I just got a shikibuton and I'm a side sleeper and I'm sorta feeling some pain :/. I used to be on a foam mattress topper for a about a year and a half but it started loosing support and it's really difficult to clean and it wasn't easy to fold up. So I bought the shikibuton. I'm still trying to get used to it and I'm not sure if it's too thin for me or if I need to get used to it
@@HelloImAru I ended up using the futon on top of the mattress topper and I liked it. Bc my mattress topper was also wearing down. But it was kind of hard airing out the futon and it had a smell. I don't think it was dirty but it really absorbed the smell of the tatami mat on the floor. I also sweat and it's really humid where I live. I noticed that it would kinda retain the humidity. I also had a mild flea infestation so I had to get rid of it ;/. It didn't get in the futon but since I couldn't wash or clean it properly I didn't feel comfortable having it. So now I have a mattress for the mean time
Yes my matrass got to the the bad point so I tried to use topper instead but was too painful for me as belly sleeper . I sure dont enjoy soft matrasses I like them firm but supportive . I can't sleep on my back no chance. I recommend firm service to anyone and they are all surprise why lady like me non stop advertise firm matrasses that are well made:) people think firm matrasses are only for heavy people. Great video
I don't bother putting anything underneath me when I sleep on the floor. I've been sleeping on the floor for almost a month now. Stick with it for at least a month to see if it works for you or not.
@@marinjayden Less back issues if you sleep on the floor. When I threw out my back, my PT and Chiro friend suggested it. Healed 4x as fast and was fine a week later. Never looked back. Buy an organic shikibuton.
I have two friends who sleep on two yoga mats and a blanket, all stacked on a carpeted floor. It's one of the coziest spaces I've ever napped on! However, I'm quite a chunk so floor sleeping long term is not great for me. I'll stick with my bamboo mattress and spring frame lol
Dear Marin, I first watched your videos about 5 +years ago. Ditched my old mattress. (rented apt. ) I got a piece of plywood and put foam pad down and started floor sleeping and I will never go back. Life-changing, my dear.
When i was 7 i moved to my aunts apartment, and there was no room for a bed so i had to put a rug on the floor and a bed cover on top of it and i would sleep on it. Its terrible. The floor is very hard and i got used to it.
I have slept on the floor for almost a month and find its much more comfortable started a week before turkey day 2020 and my lower back pain completely gone. I put two thick blankets down and use neck pillow for a injury. I will never go back to the torture of a mattress
I was desperate for some back bain relief and just sleeping on the floor for one night I feel soooo much better. I couldn't sleep on the mattress! I was in so much pain
Oh my, the similarity of the Dr.s expressions and the acting of the main character in the show Resident Alien is almost perfect. No offence it is just what came to my mind. Great tips anyways. Thank you.
Been floor sleeping for about 6 months now! My journey happened about a year ago now when moved half way across the country. We left the mattress and box spring behind and moved into our apartment, that was meant to be temporary, with a pretty nice air mattress. The air mattress was ok but after several months it began losing significant amounts of air and we would wake up sunken into the bed and sore. We eventually said screw it and started sleeping on the floor with an old mattress topper, blankets, and pillows. She is right when she says there will be an adjustment period; my first couple weeks my hips felt bruised (no discoloring though) and it was hard to sleep without anything under my hip. Now I can sleep any which way and be fine. My body adjusted. I likely don’t intend on this being permanent though as someday when we do find a home, we want to purchase a mattress. Always keep an open mind! Thanks for sharing!!
So I have arthritis and sometimes when I need my back to get in better alignment I lay on the floor, only problem is I can’t do it for long because my arthritis can’t take the hard surface even with a 2inch topper, I want to make the transition, so I’m thinking a 6inch foldable mattress will get me there, but I worry that it’s going to be too much cushion and end up worse than my box spring with a 2 inch topper, perhaps a Thai mattress with my 2 inch topper? I really don’t know, and I really worry about wasting the money
What I want to know is, do you ever wake up on your side? Because that's how I start to sleep and that's the way I usually wake up. My top pillow is on top and the other is on the floor. Blanket is partly under me and rest is tied up on my legs. Maybe I fight all night long and lose and that's why I usually wake up pissed up?
I’ve been doing it since I was 12. I’m 23 now, no regrets. I sleep on hard wood floor with one pillow and either a sheet or blanket. I have a big bed but never use it.
I slept on the carpet with a thin blanket under me last night. I got the best sleep I've had in months. I do need a different pillow, though. If the wind blasting outside last night hadn't woken me up twice, I would've slept even better! Not going back to a mattress.
I want to start sleeping on Japanese futon because I have scoliosis and some pretty bad neck pain. My only thing is I will eventually have to go back to a regular mattress when I move in with my boyfriend.
Benefits of sleeping on the floor: just use a yoga mat to sleep on the floor without a pillow. 1. great relief form back pain. 2. backbend due to old age will not happen 3. muscles will become strong. 4. Deep and short sleep. 5. very important is the brain will work great, in the form of memory and intellect. 6. get relife from belly fat. 7. weight gain will not happen. I am 26, from my childhood I never used cousin bed. just sleep in the mat on the floor. Very important to know: 1. Sleep straight back on the floor. 2. it is an ancient way of sleep as mentioned in Ayurveda India.
But i have a risk if i sleep on floor. There is risk of getting insect in my ear after sleeping. For example , centipede etc. What is solution for that???
it has demostrate multiple times is better for the back, you should made a comparison between traditional futons that are mostly cotton with the ones sold in western countries that have 1 or 2 layers of foam.
Floor sleeping is a loose term people who sleep on a tatami , futon , mattress topper ,thin foam mattress ,ETC they all call it floor sleeping but its really not floor sleeping is putting a bed sheet on a carpet or wooden floor other than that its just like a bed but the cushioning material is on the floor instead of being raised on a bed there is no difference between sleeping on a futon put directly on the floor or on a strong raised plywood platform bed the result is the same The most important thing is to understand your body needs in terms of cushioning material and thickness moderate weight peoble with shoulder injures cannot bear a firm mattress like a rebonded foam mattress they have to go for softer options on the other hand peoble with lower back injures like bulges or herniations have to sleep aligned (a straight line between ther head and feet) and this is the very reason there are about 7 grades of softness or hardness in most good quality mattress manufacturers also heavier individuals need firm mattresses if they want there bed to have any longivity to it as softer mattresses are designed for only thin to normal weight individuals if you want to go the diy route do it but understand your needs if you are heavy then go for rebonded foam with density of 80 to 90 5 inches thick then add a 2 inch medium density foam and finish it up with a layer of memory foam or soft foam or a fiber sheet if you are a normal weight individual this setup might be too much and you might want to replace that reponded foam with normal upholstery foam of course the foam has to be of high quality press on it and it should have a dense and consistent feed back some individuals love sleeping on cotton mattresses like japanese futons as it provides the most pressure relief if you like cotton then the futon has to be thicker if you are heavy and normal if you are a normal weight individual One thing to keep in mind any new bed or sleeping setup needs some break in time so give it time if you feel like the comfort level is not optimal And always protect your sleeping setup or mattress form your sweat and dead skin by using a waterproof mattress cover

I thought this video was about floor sleeping, not sleeping closer to the floor. I've slept on the floor with a neck pillow, and my legs raised on an ottoman while sleeping on a padded carpet. It is relaxing without a doubt.
@@AylinArmy At least for me the first 2 to 3 days i felt like i was ran over by a truck but then my body adjusted to the floor and it felt great. I started sleeping on the floor cuz i was curious then i realized that when i slept on the bed my shoulders and neck ached in the morning and when i slept on the floor (after my body got usetd to it) i woke up without any discomfort. It worked for me i don't know if it'll work for you.

I bought a 600 euro matras, but it destroyed my back! I didn't want to throw it away bcuz it was so expensive. Now I sleep on a tatami mat with a futon. I hope this will be the answer for my back pain.
Sleeping on floor bc I’m homeless and have been “couch surfing “ for years , have back injuries and fibro and floor is killing me . My dear friend sent me a Japanese futon mat and futon mattress and it’s not helping at all still excruciating pain 😞 low back always locked up when I wake up and so painful
@Cielo Vida im sorry to hear that i hope god help u and bless u ❤️❤️ amen . I sleep om the floor and i use a pillow and 2 big big blankett as a matress+ a blankett to cover myself with, have u tried it ? Also wear socks when u sleep and shirt with full lenght on the arms . IF u sleep WHILE being Cold its not Good . Also IF u sleep hungry its not Good either . Good bless u
I use to sleep on this Indian rug, over a carpet, and it was really the best sleep. my fiance at the time used to say the rug had drugs in it, lol, because as soon as he, I & our dog laid on itm we went straight to sleep. However now we have tile floor, and its th most uncomfortable thing, I don't have that Indian rug anymore though.
So sleeping on floor means sleeping on your back all night? What about sleeping on sides on floor ? As during sleep we do intend to sleep on our sides as well.
Jamil Baig: Excellent question. I have not slept on the floor, but I slept on a very firm, brand new mattress for 2 months, mostly on my side. I thought everything was fine, but after 2 months I developed the worst pain in my upper arms, along with numbness all the way down both arms into my hands. Scared me to death and sent me to the dr. to be checked for everything. In the end no doctor had any answer to what was causing it. I finally made the connection myself -- it was the too firm mattress causing nerve impingement in both shoulders. So I don't think I'll be sleeping on the floor on my side or my back. I'm now sleeping on the same firm mattress with a 1.5" memory foam topper added on and a good cervical pillow. And feeling MUCH better.
I would say it depends on your needs. Chiropractors practice in many different ways. Some adjust your spine only, some utilize other forms of therapy in conjunction with spinal adjusting. Some focus on biomechanics and your bodies ability to move in space. Some provide acupuncture, dry needling, dietary advice. You can find one that does all of the above or find one specific to your needs. I would recommend searching up local docs, go to their website and look at their mission statement, or modalities of care. If you still have questions give them a call and I’m sure they would be more than happy to answer any questions!
I have a hyper Kyphosis, I've always wanted to sleep on the floor but the only time I tried, I was in so much pain I cried (on the lower back, especially). I just wonder if it would ever be possible for me, and if maybe this could help fix my back?
I tried to search but couldn't find the answer online. Can you sleep DIRECTLY on a box spring? No mattress. Just a comfort memory foam topper - or layers of linens of you can't afford a topper-but NO MATTRESS. The internet didn't understand this research I was trying to do. If a box spring will hold the weight of a mattress plus your body, then it should be fine to sleep on on its own, right? I'm debating removing my mattress because it just is no good and laying down every linen we own - not literally. But I don't know. Please provide feedback. Would this be good or no?
Did you ever try sleeping directly on a boxspring? That's what I'm contemplating. I was thinking the same thing as you that if a box spring can support the weight of a mattress AND the person sleeping on it, then I ought to be able to sleep directly on the box spring.
It's not possible to sleep on my box springs. Too much open space covered with some synthetic fabric parts of the body would sag into those spaces and cause pain on the supported parts. Putting a piece of Plywood down then the bedding would work though.
But i have a risk if i sleep on floor. There is risk of getting insect in my ear after sleeping. For example , centipede etc. What is solution for that???
I think the word you're all looking for is FUTON XD there must be some statistics out there proving that the japanese don't have any of the rates of back pains and distorted spines that we do with our marshmellow matresses... and that solution sounds pretty expensive when you can just buy a futon for 100 bucs and if you feel fancy buy some tatamis. I had mine for over 9 years now and I'm absolutely happy. I was just recently thinking of getting and even thinner futon that I can roll up, but the one I have is pretty firm and even after years of flipping it over and turning it around. It's pure cotton with a layer of coconut fiber in the middle and people make fun of me for sleeping on a "wooden plank" hahah but what they say is true, when you get used to it you just cannot go back. Hotels and visiting friends is awful !! I usually wake up with back, hip and shoulder pain and it's just the worst. Once you get used to having your back and body properly supported anything else just doesn't make any sense, like why would you want to sink into your bed ? and dislocate all your limbs ? XD Oh yeah and a buckwheat pillow is another absolute game changer !! such a simple solution to all your neck problems !! because unlike a memory foam pillow, this one actually stays firmly into the position you put it and those can be endless! and what I did now changed everything, again, because I replaced half of the buckwheat with actual dried lavender leaves ! and you just feel like sleeping in a field of lavender and flowers ! and all of these are just sooo cheap by comparison it's just crazy.

I do , I live us but love sleep floor and pillow. It's help my back pain I olny (25 yr old ) because I have minor Scoliosis all my life. I have try different bed 🛌 it make my back pain worse even my family or friends mock I act like old lady have pain 🤣🤣 oh well 🤷🏽♀️

@@marinjayden Less back issues if you sleep on the floor. When I threw out my back, my PT and Chiro friend suggested it. Healed 4x as fast and was fine a week later. Never looked back. Buy an organic shikibuton.
@@nutech1810 I second that recommendation.
Something can creep into your ears
Mikey0929Music bruh I’ve been sleeping on the floor since I was 5 now I’m 19 😂.
Crazy how much the pillow under the knees makes a difference
I have two friends who sleep on two yoga mats and a blanket, all stacked on a carpeted floor. It's one of the coziest spaces I've ever napped on!
However, I'm quite a chunk so floor sleeping long term is not great for me. I'll stick with my bamboo mattress and spring frame lol
Dear Marin, I first watched your videos about 5 +years ago. Ditched my old mattress. (rented apt. ) I got a piece of plywood and put foam pad down and started floor sleeping and I will never go back. Life-changing, my dear.
❤️❤️❤️
@@marinjayden With all respect, you are gorgeous.
I get deep, restful sleep when I sleep on the floor. Just give me a blanket and pillow. I can sleep almost anywhere. Lol
Except on a mattress lol
@@edwardbrock3807 hah!
Thank you!

Some pillows with a good mattress topper on top of them and a memory foam pillow works for me.
When i was 7 i moved to my aunts apartment, and there was no room for a bed so i had to put a rug on the floor and a bed cover on top of it and i would sleep on it. Its terrible. The floor is very hard and i got used to it.
I've been floor sleeping for years on camper foam but want to upgrade. Considering a Western bed or a Japanese futon. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
I too want a Japanese futon mat thing.
I have slept on the floor for almost a month and find its much more comfortable started a week before turkey day 2020 and my lower back pain completely gone.
I put two thick blankets down and use neck pillow for a injury.
I will never go back to the torture of a mattress
Been sleeping on the floor for years now, I will be 38 soon and my back feels Great 👌
How curious. However I find the comfort of my memory foam bed much superior. The best thing I've ever slept on and I didn't need to "get used to it".
I was desperate for some back bain relief and just sleeping on the floor for one night I feel soooo much better. I couldn't sleep on the mattress! I was in so much pain
Oh my, the similarity of the Dr.s expressions and the acting of the main character in the show Resident Alien is almost perfect. No offence it is just what came to my mind. Great tips anyways. Thank you.
Thank you mam
Great content 👍❤️
Simp! The man was explaining and answering more, meanwhile the woman was just asking questions. You should thank him too, give him some credit
Been floor sleeping for about 6 months now! My journey happened about a year ago now when moved half way across the country. We left the mattress and box spring behind and moved into our apartment, that was meant to be temporary, with a pretty nice air mattress. The air mattress was ok but after several months it began losing significant amounts of air and we would wake up sunken into the bed and sore. We eventually said screw it and started sleeping on the floor with an old mattress topper, blankets, and pillows. She is right when she says there will be an adjustment period; my first couple weeks my hips felt bruised (no discoloring though) and it was hard to sleep without anything under my hip. Now I can sleep any which way and be fine. My body adjusted. I likely don’t intend on this being permanent though as someday when we do find a home, we want to purchase a mattress. Always keep an open mind! Thanks for sharing!!
Yup, floor for sleep. Bed for sex would be my motto.
So I have arthritis and sometimes when I need my back to get in better alignment I lay on the floor, only problem is I can’t do it for long because my arthritis can’t take the hard surface even with a 2inch topper, I want to make the transition, so I’m thinking a 6inch foldable mattress will get me there, but I worry that it’s going to be too much cushion and end up worse than my box spring with a 2 inch topper, perhaps a Thai mattress with my 2 inch topper? I really don’t know, and I really worry about wasting the money
What I want to know is, do you ever wake up on your side? Because that's how I start to sleep and that's the way I usually wake up. My top pillow is on top and the other is on the floor. Blanket is partly under me and rest is tied up on my legs. Maybe I fight all night long and lose and that's why I usually wake up pissed up?
🤣 But do you get restful sleep? That's all that matters!
Is it okay to sleep daily on floor with just a thick blanket?
I recommend at least getting a tatami underneath instead of the regular floor but it wouldn’t hurt for a couple of nights!
I’ve been doing it since I was 12. I’m 23 now, no regrets. I sleep on hard wood floor with one pillow and either a sheet or blanket. I have a big bed but never use it.
I’m sleeping on the floor tonight I just set up shop next to my bed I’m already feeling better
Natural way to sleep💚
Great video. Can you make a video on how to sit on a couch or good posture for sitting up on a floor?
Great suggestion!
He says right upfront 'I've never considered the topic,'
There's a clue there.
I slept on the carpet with a thin blanket under me last night. I got the best sleep I've had in months. I do need a different pillow, though. If the wind blasting outside last night hadn't woken me up twice, I would've slept even better! Not going back to a mattress.
❤️🙌
I want to start sleeping on Japanese futon because I have scoliosis and some pretty bad neck pain. My only thing is I will eventually have to go back to a regular mattress when I move in with my boyfriend.

Great insights mate :) Greetings from Australia!
But i have a risk if i sleep on floor. There is risk of getting insect in my ear after sleeping. For example , centipede etc. What is solution for that???
@@MohsinRaza-lf2ub : please keep ur home clean. If u r sleeping on yoga mat bed bugs will never come for sure.
@@vijaykumar-yq7sf ok thanks bro
U welcome Raza bhai.
it has demostrate multiple times is better for the back, you should made a comparison between traditional futons that are mostly cotton with the ones sold in western countries that have 1 or 2 layers of foam.
I got rid of my neck hump by sleeping without a pillow
My left leg goes numb when on my back. Is there a sleeping statagy for that if the stomach position is not ideal?
Did you try the pillow under the know?
@@gloriathomas2188 no
@@smartypants1980 sorry under the knee
@@smartypants1980 that might help
You might need an adjustment from a chiropractor...
What type of upholstery foam did Jesse use as a mattress? What Weight and Density?
I would also like to know.
Floor sleeping is a loose term people who sleep on a tatami , futon , mattress topper ,thin foam mattress ,ETC they all call it floor sleeping but its really not
floor sleeping is putting a bed sheet on a carpet or wooden floor other than that its just like a bed but the cushioning material is on the floor instead of being raised on a bed there is no difference between sleeping on a futon put directly on the floor or on a strong raised plywood platform bed the result is the same
The most important thing is to understand your body needs in terms of cushioning material and thickness moderate weight peoble with shoulder injures cannot bear a firm mattress like a rebonded foam mattress they have to go for softer options on the other hand peoble with lower back injures like bulges or herniations have to sleep aligned (a straight line between ther head and feet)
and this is the very reason there are about 7 grades of softness or hardness in most good quality mattress manufacturers also heavier individuals need firm mattresses if they want there bed to have any longivity to it as softer mattresses are designed for only thin to normal weight individuals
if you want to go the diy route do it but understand your needs if you are heavy then go for rebonded foam with density of 80 to 90
5 inches thick then add a 2 inch medium density foam and finish it up with a layer of memory foam or soft foam or a fiber sheet if you are a normal weight individual this setup might be too much and you might want to replace that reponded foam with normal upholstery foam
of course the foam has to be of high quality
press on it and it should have a dense and consistent feed back
some individuals love sleeping on cotton mattresses like japanese futons as it provides the most pressure relief if you like cotton then the futon has to be thicker if you are heavy and normal if you are a normal weight individual
One thing to keep in mind any new bed or sleeping setup needs some break in time so give it time if you feel like the comfort level is not optimal
And always protect your sleeping setup or mattress form your sweat and dead skin by using a waterproof mattress cover
Been sleeping on the floor 10+ years. Vegan 20+ years. Feel great.

@@MohsinRaza-lf2ub please link proper research
@@JB5D ok thanks
I thought this video was about floor sleeping, not sleeping closer to the floor. I've slept on the floor with a neck pillow, and my legs raised on an ottoman while sleeping on a padded carpet. It is relaxing without a doubt.
They said that bed only had 2 in of cushion on plywood. I think they used that to show the position better but it simulates floor sleeping
I've heard of people using no pillow or working their way to it if they can't do it right away.
I slept on the floor for a week and it felt amazing. I'm going to start again. And i slept without my pillow twice and it also felt better.
Are you still sleeping on the floor? How is it now do you get used to it easily?
@@AylinArmy At least for me the first 2 to 3 days i felt like i was ran over by a truck but then my body adjusted to the floor and it felt great. I started sleeping on the floor cuz i was curious then i realized that when i slept on the bed my shoulders and neck ached in the morning and when i slept on the floor (after my body got usetd to it) i woke up without any discomfort.
It worked for me i don't know if it'll work for you.
Oh okay thankyou! 😀
@@AylinArmy You welcome ❤.

I bought a 600 euro matras, but it destroyed my back! I didn't want to throw it away bcuz it was so expensive. Now I sleep on a tatami mat with a futon. I hope this will be the answer for my back pain.
What do you do during the winter (if you don't want to freeze)
Sleeping on floor bc I’m homeless and have been “couch surfing “ for years , have back injuries and fibro and floor is killing me . My dear friend sent me a Japanese futon mat and futon mattress and it’s not helping at all still excruciating pain 😞 low back always locked up when I wake up and so painful
@Cielo Vida im sorry to hear that i hope god help u and bless u ❤️❤️ amen .
I sleep om the floor and i use a pillow and 2 big big blankett as a matress+ a blankett to cover myself with, have u tried it ? Also wear socks when u sleep and shirt with full lenght on the arms . IF u sleep WHILE being Cold its not Good . Also IF u sleep hungry its not Good either . Good bless u
I use to sleep on this Indian rug, over a carpet, and it was really the best sleep. my fiance at the time used to say the rug had drugs in it, lol, because as soon as he, I & our dog laid on itm we went straight to sleep. However now we have tile floor, and its th most uncomfortable thing, I don't have that Indian rug anymore though.
Wow his voice
wow i really like this so i think I'm gonna try a futon.
I had bed bugs haven’t gotten a new mattress since
What is the knee support “pillow” called? I want to buy one. Thanks
Bolster pillow?
Lol! 😆 my wife. Slayed.
Your links for bed setup don't work. Is there a good one?
What’s that thin hard bed the lady is laying on in chiros office
Idk sometimes in summer I just go to the floor and sleep way better
Can I sleep on tiles floor without a mat ... Is it good or bad
What about the other aspects such as cold air, dust....?
Fire the lighting guy
So sleeping on floor means sleeping on your back all night? What about sleeping on sides on floor ? As during sleep we do intend to sleep on our sides as well.
I'm going to be doing an update on this really soon
If you have sleep breathing disorders, then it would be better to sleep on your side rather than on your back.
@@marinjayden hi beautiful. What about the update video. When it will be aired.
Jamil Baig: Excellent question. I have not slept on the floor, but I slept on a very firm, brand new mattress for 2 months, mostly on my side. I thought everything was fine, but after 2 months I developed the worst pain in my upper arms, along with numbness all the way down both arms into my hands. Scared me to death and sent me to the dr. to be checked for everything. In the end no doctor had any answer to what was causing it. I finally made the connection myself -- it was the too firm mattress causing nerve impingement in both shoulders. So I don't think I'll be sleeping on the floor on my side or my back. I'm now sleeping on the same firm mattress with a 1.5" memory foam topper added on and a good cervical pillow. And feeling MUCH better.
I’m currently on the floor in my new apt & I am in pain 😞
For the blue knee support thing he gave you-is one pillow not good enough, high enough? Should i use two pillows?
How should I pick a Chiropractor?
I would say it depends on your needs. Chiropractors practice in many different ways. Some adjust your spine only, some utilize other forms of therapy in conjunction with spinal adjusting. Some focus on biomechanics and your bodies ability to move in space. Some provide acupuncture, dry needling, dietary advice. You can find one that does all of the above or find one specific to your needs. I would recommend searching up local docs, go to their website and look at their mission statement, or modalities of care. If you still have questions give them a call and I’m sure they would be more than happy to answer any questions!
I have a hyper Kyphosis, I've always wanted to sleep on the floor but the only time I tried, I was in so much pain I cried (on the lower back, especially). I just wonder if it would ever be possible for me, and if maybe this could help fix my back?
That could change, when you practice and give your body time to adjust. I had different pains the first weeks, they started changing after a while.
I tried to search but couldn't find the answer online. Can you sleep DIRECTLY on a box spring? No mattress. Just a comfort memory foam topper - or layers of linens of you can't afford a topper-but NO MATTRESS. The internet didn't understand this research I was trying to do. If a box spring will hold the weight of a mattress plus your body, then it should be fine to sleep on on its own, right? I'm debating removing my mattress because it just is no good and laying down every linen we own - not literally. But I don't know. Please provide feedback. Would this be good or no?
Did you ever try sleeping directly on a boxspring? That's what I'm contemplating. I was thinking the same thing as you that if a box spring can support the weight of a mattress AND the person sleeping on it, then I ought to be able to sleep directly on the box spring.
It's not possible to sleep on my box springs. Too much open space covered with some synthetic fabric parts of the body would sag into those spaces and cause pain on the supported parts. Putting a piece of Plywood down then the bedding would work though.
What about air mattresses? Is it good?
So sleep on the floor is beneficial which means firm mattress is more better than soft one ?
Nat Genesis no.. get a Japanese futon
But i have a risk if i sleep on floor. There is risk of getting insect in my ear after sleeping. For example , centipede etc. What is solution for that???
so weird that you both looking in the camera though lol
What if you sleep on your stomach, not back?
wow you 2 are gorgeous!
I think the word you're all looking for is FUTON XD there must be some statistics out there proving that the japanese don't have any of the rates of back pains and distorted spines that we do with our marshmellow matresses... and that solution sounds pretty expensive when you can just buy a futon for 100 bucs and if you feel fancy buy some tatamis. I had mine for over 9 years now and I'm absolutely happy. I was just recently thinking of getting and even thinner futon that I can roll up, but the one I have is pretty firm and even after years of flipping it over and turning it around. It's pure cotton with a layer of coconut fiber in the middle and people make fun of me for sleeping on a "wooden plank" hahah but what they say is true, when you get used to it you just cannot go back. Hotels and visiting friends is awful !! I usually wake up with back, hip and shoulder pain and it's just the worst. Once you get used to having your back and body properly supported anything else just doesn't make any sense, like why would you want to sink into your bed ? and dislocate all your limbs ? XD Oh yeah and a buckwheat pillow is another absolute game changer !! such a simple solution to all your neck problems !! because unlike a memory foam pillow, this one actually stays firmly into the position you put it and those can be endless! and what I did now changed everything, again, because I replaced half of the buckwheat with actual dried lavender leaves ! and you just feel like sleeping in a field of lavender and flowers ! and all of these are just sooo cheap by comparison it's just crazy.
