subscribed instantly, you are very easy to listen to and I am looking into floor sleeping so much. How does the sleeping bag work with smell and washing etc? Haha
@@flugoaway3398 I have actually been sleeping directly on the floor for months now with just a blanket and a duvet and it has actually been amazing .. ?
I had never heard that sleeping on the floor, or specifically a futon, would help your back. In fact every experience in life I've ever had sleeping on the floor, with or without a sleeping bag, has destroyed my back. When I went to Japan I was immediately sceptical about sleeping on tatami and a futon mattress, but it absolutely was the best sleep I've ever had and the best my back has ever felt on waking up. So not a placebo effect at all.
I did this same video but because I had an injury in my back and I was curious if the myth of sleeping on the floor is actually better for your back. Well it is and I probably will never sleep on a mattress again unless I have to. Good job man
it helped me heal my back issue but after I was completely healed, I went back to a normal (stiffer) bed and I've been pretty satisfied. don't rule out a bed completely!
This is the same boring mentality that says if you're a socialist you shouldn't be able to drive a nice car. You clearly don't understand the core principles of the ideology.
Great video bro and I feel you. The main reason I started sleeping on the floor is because I do a lot of workouts in my room with weights and also my family was doing construction on our basement and I live in the basement so a lot of things are just weird so I got to the point where I just had to put the frame away and I decided to put my mattress up vertically and then I just slept on the floor. I had SOOOOO MUCH space it blew my mind. The key to getting really good rest when sleeping on the floor is making sure you’re very active and eating about three hours 3 to 4 hours before you’re going to sleep. You have to be active that way when you go to sleep you’re already tired and you won’t have an issue falling asleep. I did landscaping this summer and worked at a grocery store and worked out/played basketball damn near everyday. I used 1 blanket on a carpet as my BED and 2 blankets as my covers. I did this a lot honestly. It was beautiful because when I would wake up I would get straight up there was no morning grog or nothing like that. I also learned to sleep on my back in the process. Because I’m not a back sleeper I had to do a lot of things to make myself tired so when I was sleep on my back I would fall asleep just off the strength that I was very tired. Where I’m staying at rn I prolly slept on the floor like 4 times and a weighted blanket was my cover :)))) GREAT sleep lol.
For me, I told my parents outright I’d be getting a shikibuton to sleep on the floor because the mattress I have now is so old and has been giving me lower back, shoulder, and neck pain and it has no more actual support - you just sink in. They’re supportive cuz they know my style of living is very different. I’m a minimalist also. And my mom, not my dad yet, knows I’m Buddhist so I prefer to have a free clean space to meditate and practice martial arts.
You can get more space if you get rid of the book shelves reduce it to one and declutter the books that you have read already and probably wont ever read again you can sell them, donate them or just throw them away. Detached yourself from the book clutter lol keep your faves, the ones you will read again and the ones that's really important. You will have even more room to place your tripod and soft box. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I would always sleep on the floor just whenever, (I have this weird personal thing where I have a hard time sleeping in one place for too long, so switching between the floor and my bed helped) then one day I started suffering extreme neck cramps. It would literally get to a point where my neck was so stiff I couldn’t turn it at all. I tried literally every exercise I could find, and while they helped they were only temporary solutions, meaning I’d have to do the exercises 2-5 times a day depending on how bad it was that day. But I noticed that whenever I slept on the floor it seemed like the stiffness was not as severe. Eventually I stopped sleeping on my mattress altogether and after, probably less than a month, I felt no soreness in my neck at all. Sleeping on the floor is definitely something I recommend people trying, especially if they have any stiffness in the spinal region. At least from my own experience it’s one of the best changes I’ve made, with low risk and high reward.

You could change your books for eBooks and just keep those are really important for you and you could discard your shelfs too.
Easy solution! Buy a Japanese futon! which is like 40-120 dollars. It's affordable and will last for long. Overall better quality compare to what you have there. 😂
@@missb8887 It didn't take long at all. Think it was a couple weeks before I noticed it had totally gone. The way we put our feet when bending down and getting back up stretches out the feet properly and we properly align while floor sleeping so the stress is removed from the body which helps to prevent it from recurring. Hope you find it as helpful. I've not suffered from plantar fascitis for nearly two years now due to sleeping on the floor.
Hi there ! Im so glad i found your video , i had to throw away my bed for different reasons , but in the end i think it was for the best , but i wanted to know something about tatamis or futons... I've seen a lot on amazon and ebay i actually bought one (hasn't arrived yet) still i think it's going to be a scam ... and i dont know whether to buy a sleeping bag or an inflatable mattress .... what do you recomed ?
i'm starting uni next year i decided to look this up. especially since i absolutely adore the japanese culture. really glad i watched this video, great job!

As life improvement habit lover, I definitely wanna adopt this into my lifestyle. It's going to be a challenge convincing my partner to get onboard (no pun intended), however i think I can make it happen. She might just come back home one day to a "re-arranged bedroom" 😂😂😂 Anyway, keep up the great work! Happy New Year and all the best from Western Australia 🦘😎🤙🏼

Hey if you’re seeing this just know that you have a purpose and Jesus loves you and he wants you. Repent and turn to him while you can. God bless you❤️🖤
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I was the first 👍so I guess God wanted me to see it first😂... You're amazing, kp following God the Father , Son and Holy Ghost.
I’m thinking about getting a custom made futon. But I can’t decide if I should get all wool, or part latex part wool. Does anyone else have a natural futon?
I would love your thoughts on calling yourself a minimalist with that amount of clutter. I don't judge anyone's own opinion or choice, but I can't see why you'd want it there?
Yo...my first name and middle name is same as yours bro. Crazy. I do have a last name though. I am probably older than you as well. But this is crazy. Any way first time on your video. Great video.
I also meet a person with the first name Davis. I was just browsing the search word "Japan futon", or somewhat and that was I saw your name. Odd is you look similar to my nephew as well. Crazy right. Take care yourself, do well in life, stay healthy, be mindful (you need it), take care.
You have to give yourself a few weeks to a month to adjust. The issue is that your body is weak from sleeping on inferior western matresses. Buy a quality shikibuton and give it a shot if you have the money and curiosity. My shikibuton is currently getting some sun, and it changed my sleeping life. "Soft bed, soft body" ~Japanese proverb
Sam Rockwell Idk if sleeping on a mattress necessarily makes your body weak as long as you work out constantly but I’m sure you can get used to sleeping on the floor after some time and maybe it has some core stability benefits. Not worth giving up my comfort tho 😂 are there studies on this topic?
@@ThorstenLochmann Actually, there are plenty of anthropological studies done on humans and primates that support sleeping on more firm surfaces. Additionally, if you have to be physically adept in order to get a good night's sleep, then you've fell off the bus. Good sleep is for everyone!
@@ThorstenLochmann a mattress is like cake. Both may make you feel good in the short term but over time you’ll quality of life will slowly deteriorate if they’re being “consumed” constantly. But that doesn’t mean you have to cut it out of your life completely. Getting a good futon instead of a mattress will separate you from the hard floors surface, but also keep the support of the floor. Just as having a slice of mini cake won’t negatively affect you, not in the way a regular slice would. It’s all about finding your balance. Plus, there’s literally been so many civilizations that did, and do, exist without mattresses and you’ll notice a historic lack of back pain. From my personal experience, switching to the floor is definitely a good idea. My stiff neck completely went away after maybe a month of sleeping on the floor. (Of course nothing is guaranteed, but it won’t hurt to try it out for two weeks and see if you have any positive results)
Stop using minimalism as a trend. Not having a bed is not even close to being a minimalist. It is mainly about priority and function. Because judging within the first five seconds into the video, from you background alone I can tell you have a lot of shits that are neither a priority or functional. Just get rid of other things as your bookshelves and piano so you can install you bed back in. Your back will thank you in the long run
No, your back definitely WONT thank you for getting an unstable surface that sinks in where you’re heaviest, causing your spine to get all bent out of shape. Maybe you should try out sleeping on the floor/futon for a month before you make the absurd claim that it’s somehow worse for your body than a mattress. Or ant least do some research. Also, a piano is one object, I don’t see how it’s not minimalistic. It’s just as minimalistic as an acoustic guitar at least. If his priority is music, then a piano serves that function. The only thing I agree on is the books, but honestly who cares? Not everyone has to be exactly the same. I’d like to see a tour of your set up if you care so much for the sanctity of minimalism as a lifestyle.
