Which is the most comfortable to sleep on of all?? Bed should be the most obvious choice for all, but is there anyone with a different opinion, share it..For me, i started out sleeping on mattress on the floor for almost 20yrs b4 i got my own bed.. When i slept on the bed, it was so comfortable that i could doze off right away:) LOL.. But as i sleep longer, i still prefer my mattress on the floor as its much cooler.. haha.. How about u??

I sleep on one of those really comfortable foam mattresses, on the floor. When we moved into our apartment, there wasn't any furnishing really, and we didn't own any furniture, except our couch and Computer Desk. We kept talking about buying a cheap bed frame, but honestly neither my husband nor I really minds sleeping on the floor. Our mattress is very comfortable, and honestly it's safer for me with my vertigo... it makes getting up in the morning easier if I can crawl straight onto the floor and over to the wall first rather than trying to stand up from a bed.

Yup, foam mattress is indeed comfortable, is just like sleeping on a bed without frames to make it a proper bed:) But my mattress are those really thin ones but they are equally comfortable as i get to feel the coolest from directly below me;)


myLot reputation of 95/100. lecanis (7212)   ranked 590 out of 5,336 in sleeping  3 years ago

It gets very cold where I live, so I wouldn't want a thin mattress like that.=P


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  3 years ago

haha.. cold and cool is different, i defintely won't wanna sleep on the cold too.. haha

ive slept on many different things in the past 6 months. i am pregnant and a true test would be have a pregnant women sleep on various things.. lol.. i went from sleeping on a mattress on the floor, to a mattress on a bed, to a double stuff extra thick air mattress, to a king size one layered air mattress to a futon.. Now i have two crib mattresse under the futon matress and for me so far this seems to be the most comforatable.. sounds funny i know... but when you cant sleep and cant sleepin comforatble posituions you sleep wehre you can no matter how odd it sounds .. as long as your comfy right?? LOL i used to like the floor.. when i was a teenager my mother had this HUGE solid wod coffee table... i used to put a twin size mattress on it ( thats how big it was) and sleep on that it was my most favorite "bed" ever for at least 2 years!


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  3 years ago

haha.. U really been thru alot huh during the past 6 months just on sleeping.. haha.. But being pregnant isn't something to joke about, be sure to sleep most comfortably so that won't get backache so much:) Congradulations to your pregnancy and take good care.. May u have a healthy baby:)

I'm such a sleepy head that I can sleep on any surface LOL. I'm perfectly fine with those portable air beds, which I use when traveling. I'm also perfectly fine sleeping on a carpeted floor, especially clean ones like in hotels. The hard surface can actually help improve my posture since I'm usually slouched.

As long as it has a little softness in it, I'd be able to sleep well.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  3 years ago

haha.. including on soil or grass patch?? Because i slept on both of them when i was in the army;) LOL

I'm not particular about sleeping in bed or in mattress. at home I sleep on a mattress on the floor. and I'm comfortable with it. but I can have a comfortable sleep too on bed. they're both soft afterall.^__^

I can also sleep with only a thin mat or carpet as long as I have a pillow.^__^ but sometimes if I sleep too long i'll have a backache the next day.^_^;;


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  3 years ago

if preferably, sleeping on bed on mattress will be a better choice because ple say sleeping on cold hard floor is bad for our back;)


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 3 out of 5,336 in sleeping  3 years ago

yeah! i've experienced that. it really hurts in the back.^.^
thanks for the pencil kun!^__^

My favorite is to put a blanket on the floor and sleep on it,
It's excellent for my back!


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  1 year ago

well, as i have experienced it all..being it on a bed, on a matress in the floor, even on a banig (wooven strings)..i enjoyed it all..but i can doze off very easily in a matress..hehe, sometimes it also depends on the weather..i can lay off the floor with nothing underneath so that i can feel the coolness of it..hehe


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  1 year ago

Wooven strings?? That's interesting.. How do u manage to sleep on that?? hehe^_^ COld floor is cool and nice, but it's not as good for our back, because it's hard.. hehe

When I was in Japan, I slept on futon (japanese mattress placed on the floor). It was so comfortable. I am fine with sleeping on a bed and on a futon. I like them both. happyhappy


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  1 year ago

I know about that mattress.. haha.. It's quite flat as compared to what we have in singapore.. hehe=D But given a choice, i will still prefer bed.. haha


myLot reputation of 97/100. poohgal (2950)   ranked 463 out of 5,336 in sleeping  1 year ago

It's the floor for me! No doubt about it! Lol, when I can't sleep in the night, I will just switch from my mattress to my floor and I will be bound to doze off almost immediately!

I had been sleeping on a bed for about 18 years or so before deciding that the bed frame takes up too much space in my room. So, just about 2 years back, I decided to get rid of it and put my mattress on the floor! It was a decision that I had never regretted as sleeping on the mattress on the floor is just so convenient! Lol, if I can't fall asleep finding that it's just too warm, I could switch over to the floor without even having to get up and move downwards!

Sleeping on the floor is so cooling, and there is no need for artificial wind like the air con or the fan to be turned on, and that is something which I really like. We have marble flooring in my house, and that is even cooler when it starts to rain, especially now during the monsoon season! It's a luxury in life that not many people have the chance to enjoy.

Try sleeping on the floor the next time it starts to rain! I am sure you will get addicted to it as well! lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  1 year ago

lol=D U are the 1st whom i known that u ditched your bed for the mattress on the floor?? haha^_^ That's surprising for me to hear that from u.. lol lol I'm almost complete opposit from u, sleeping on the floor for almost 22 yrs before swutching to bed for the past 2 yrs, and how i like the feeling of sleeping on bed instead on floor.. lol=D

They are 2 complete feelings, though the mattress is much more cooler and convenient, but i just cant imagine u sleeping on the floor.. haha^_^ I like to sleep on the mattress but not the floor, because it's too hard for me, and at most, i will only lie till my body is cool and i will roll back on my mattress again.. haha


myLot reputation of 95/100. angelia286 (765)   ranked 561 out of 5,336 in sleeping  1 year ago

Lol, as I have said, I am unique and not manny people are like me! Wahhaha.. lol ain't i thick skinned!! Well, I love hard surface, and the floor just sort of fit what I am looking for. Stability la.. Too soft a bed is just plain uncomfortable for me as compared to sleeping on a hard surface. Even my mattress is the hard surface sort and not the soft ones!

Hehe.. pampered boy like all other Singaporeans=X Most Singaporeans will prefer to sleep on the bed rather than the floor.. maybe it's a habit brought over from young. Who knows? Or is because our parents will always tells us its better to elevate our beds away from the floor as there's moisture on the floor which isn't good for our bodies. Lol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  1 year ago

I'm not a pampered boy hor.. I'm being deprived from my bed for at least 20 yrs, before i finally get to sleep on one again wor.. haha=D So, i must cherish the chance well, if not, i will end up sleeping on the mattress on the floor again.. Though i dun really mind, but when there's a better choice, naturally we will go for the better one^_^ lol

AM i more thick skinned than u?? lol=P


myLot reputation of 95/100. angelia286 (765)   ranked 561 out of 5,336 in sleeping  11 months ago

Yes!!*Nods Head in Agreement* lol You are much more thick skinned and pampered than me with more wants in life. Lol. But that is to be expected because we are all Singaporeans, ain't we?

Just deprived for 20 years only mah, but yet you have a place to sleep in. You should be grateful for that! Hehe, give up your bed to some other people who need it more than you! There are some people out there who don't even have a mattress to sleep in, and they have to sleep on the floor instead! Now, those are the ones who I call poor pitiful people, not you! whistle


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  11 months ago

sad BUt i dun mind sleeping on the floor too.. After all, during NS, i have slept on soil and on wet grounds, so what's new to me.. lol=D Actually after sleeping on bed for just 2 yrs now, i quite missed the feeling of sleeping on the floor.. lol=D Ironic right?? hehe

I'm not very much pampered hor.. I only have an average life and i know how to take care of myself, thus making it seems like i'm having a pampered good life.. haha surrender

My preference is Bed always. It gives me a good sleep always, but there are exception some times I will sleep in floor, with only pillow. I prefer floor only when I am too tired and my back is paining, I feel like sleeping in floor. I feel it like floor will observe my pain, may be floor wont do that, still I feel like that way. Also during summer if it is too warm and even fan could create a very less comfort, i chose to sleep on floor.


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7226)   ranked 19 out of 5,336 in sleeping  1 year ago

With back ache, u can sleep on the floor?? Won't it make it even worse with the hard floor???^_^ If i'm tired, i can sleep anywhere too, but not when my back is aching.. hehe=D ANd yeah, floor will always be more cooling, but still i will prefer a bed.. hehe
