🛌 Minimalist Bedroom Tour : Floor Sleeping 

I used to sleep in the floor in a Japanese futon for years while I lived in the UK. Now that I sleep in a bed I miss it. The flexibility of having the floor space to do yoga and transform the bedroom as i want is so good. You should consider tatamis for warmth and higiene ❤

Awesome. 4-5 years after beginning floor sleeping i couldnt imagine going back. Although for travel i slept in a bed i was ready to return to the floor and i cant tell you how much i appreciate the freedom and ability to change if necessary

So good to see other floor sleepers and British minimalists! Weve had a futon mattress, so slightly thicker, for 12 years. We replaced the original one a couple years ago, never had mould problems. We just have it directly on the carpet. I remove the duvet and pillows in the morning and flip it in half, altering the direction each day so as to let the bottom of it air out, then once a week after I strip the bedding I roll it up. I cannot imagine having a 'normal' bed again at this point.

Love this!! I'd love some more longer videos too! Your voice is very soothing

After our last child left home, we moved up to the big attic room we have, which has ceilings that slope down to about 15" above the (laminate) floor, so it's not easy to find a bed that would fit under the eaves. I also hate vacuuming under beds, as so much dust accumulates; I don't like underbed storage, either, for the same reason, though in our smaller downstairs room I do have some lidded tubs that are easy to slide out from under the guest bed for vacuuming. My solution was to get the cheapest Ikea foam mattresses, which I love. Initially we had them on a rug and I found them very comfortable. At one point I did feel it in my hips and solved the problem by layering a second thin foam mattress over the top, as it was cheaper than a topper, and we also took the rug away from under them. Every time I change the sheets I turn and flip the mattresses so they are well-aired, and we have the windows open for most of the year, yes, even in winter. It's a flexible solution, as if one of my grandchildren wants to sleep over, I can just slide one of the mattresses out, or I can offer guests 2 separate stacked "beds" if it's not a couple. At this stage my hips don't seem to mind sleeping on a single mattress, but we've stuck with what is essentially 4 single mattress stacked 2/2. They are held together by a fitted jersey sheet and we find we disturb each other less by not having a double width, bulky mattress. If we slept in the smaller room, we only have room for a small double (4'6" or 140 cm) and this way we have almost 6' (180 cm) width. We did that for years so enjoy the luxury of more room now! The attic room covers the whole area of the house and has other uses for hobbies and leisure, but we don't mind people seeing where we sleep and don't really care what they might think or say (so far nobody has been rude lol). I do quickly make the bed once it's aired, so it's always presentable, it's just 2 duvets to smooth over. My husband occasionally grumbles or goes downstairs halfway through the night if he can't sleep, but on the whole, I think we're both comfortable with this solution as long as we are mobile, so hopefully a good few years yet.

Love the idea of this . Unfortunately at my age of 70 getting up from the floor is a bit tricky . Hmmm perhaps its time to take a serious look at some of those stretching and balance exercises i see on so many vlogs !

I've been floor sleeping for 4 year. I don't have a tatami platform bed but use a foldable tatami mat which you still can get out the way, use it as a screen etc.

I used floor sleeping when I had a baby. It’s easier and safer when co-sleeping with a baby /toddler. It’s my bedroom and my comfort, don’t care what others think .

Another great interesting video and you have to set out your home how you like it but I do enjoy eating on bed watching TV 😂

I started sleeping on a thick mat 15 years ago when my then wife and me started using separate bedrooms and have never looked back since. My new partner loves us using a mattress topper.

I slept on the floor downstairs over the summer when it was too hot to be upstairs. I actually enjoyed it a lot! I used a king sized duvet folded into thirds as a mattress, which was perfect depth for me. I felt that my thighs got stronger with the getting up and down from the floor, and I slept really well. I only went back to bed when my husband kept asking when I planned to come back to our bed.

love the introooo !!! and the room too obviously hehe. thankyou for sharing much love from singapore :)

Very inspiring. Love your content 🤗

I am on my 2 month. It sounds like we sleep similarly. I will not go back. So far, my only downside is I can feel people walking around the house, and it can wake me up.

Watching while laying in my bed. Which is very firm/hard. But could never physically sleep on the floor. But jealous of people who are physically able! ❤ The person in the apartment above me, when gets up to pee in the night wakes me up because it shakes my bed. His foot goes down and the thud I feel the vibration of it, SO horrible

Would love an updated bed video , thanks!

Wow Thats inspiring . I want to change my room like this. Planning on doing so. But its hard because my room is filled with stuff.

floor gang

Looks good, u could just get another identical mat and place them both sideways so ur duvet doesn't touch the carpet 😊

Yay new video❤

You might like a you tube channel called small changes. The woman who is called Sarah is also a floor sleeper & she has videos on how her whole family are also floor sleepers.

Even with a bed frame, but nothing else, people have thought it wasn't my 'real' home or I just moved in, was moving out or poor. Tbh, even if I was in poverty, I would still keep it this simple, expect it would be second hand, probably brown or mismatched furniture and more library books, clothes and toys that I have decluttered in the last six months. Even then though, it still would be less.

Love the new bed, where did you buy it from. I’d be scared of being on the floor as I, terrified of spiders 😂

I use to sleep on a 2 inch mattress topper on the floor, I did this for about 5 months over 6 years ago. I'd like to go back to sleeping on the floor again and see if I still like it, but I don't think my landlady would let me get rid of the bed.

I don't know why but I am surprised you sleep on the floor. Thought you would have a lux bed for some reason. ❤

Amazing! 🤗 How long have you been a minimalist? What started this journey

Worth buying a blow up bed for when guests stay over. They can easily be stored away 😊 However in Asian countries they all sleep on the floor with jusr a thin sheet ! I have been to India a few times and it does hurt your back but after a couple of days you get used to it.

For the person who commented it was like a prison cell and asked why have it like this as minimalism can be homely, but then deleted their comment, I didn't take offense and here is my response in the hope that you see it: Minimalism is different for every person and what is homely to one person is cluttered to another and what is someone's prison cell is another person's sanctuary 🩷 For me the "why" is it's calm and peaceful to me, no visual distraction and easy to clean. As I mentioned I sleep better and I just don't *need* anything else. And if I don't need it, I don't want it 🤷‍♀️👍🏻

I love the setup! What do you do in the middle of the night if you have to get up to go to the bathroom without a light? I have always wanted to try floor sleeping, and you have given me the incentive to do so

We slept for years on a futon on the floor. But now at 71, it's just not possible to get up from the floor. Also, we did have a mold issue under the futon partly because the under of our house is not insulated so thus the cold comes up and meets the warm bed.

I wanted to do this but my parents insisted in buying me one

Average Indian middle class home

That's great if ur young and able to get down and up without help. Do you have any practice sleeping solutions for the average adult?

I tried floor sleeping for a couple of days but i dont like sleeping on the ground/floor. Im looking into other options for a simple bedroom.

I'm sure sleeping on the floor would help my back. But I have mobility issues and need a bed.

Almost as minimal as 10 Litre Craig who disappeared.from youtube. Miss his insights.

Love it🤍🤍🤍

How warm and inviting. 😑
