Sleeping on the Floor - Korean Yo Bed [Gold Zipper] 

I am 72. Lived in a cracker-box sized NYC apt for 45+ years, and always put our bed out at night, a combination of futon and quilts. It was Heaven. Hubby enjoys it as well. We relocated after retiring - to an apt in New Orleans that is twice and then some the size of our former NY place. We now have plenty of room for beds. But guess what? We still prefer the futons. They are cozy, snuggly and can't remember the last time either of us ever had back trouble. Hey, just sayin'....

I used to have a futon and I loved it! These days my old bones need a little more cushioning but I highly recommend them.

You can buy them at Korean stores in the US. That’s where my mom got mine. 😊

I’ve just moved to Korea and our furniture is being shipped so we bought a yo and I bought a topper that’s super fleecy. In korea the floors are heated so this must make it really cozy. I’ve not got my heating on. I’ve a bad back from moving but I’ve slept ok actually. I think I’d prefer a soft comfy regular bed but it’s good if you like firm. It’s nothing like a futon just for peoples information

My mom is from Korea and made several blankets in this style. Now married to a French Canadian and navigating a sleep divorce ( his snoring and my light sleep are not compatible.) I can’t imagine sleeping ON this beautiful creation). Sleeping under her blanket was like a weighted blanket. I have saved her blankets (because how could you not) & I might integrate it into my new solution. Love your MIL’s 요 cover! ❤️ thank you for the info… now if I can get these heathens to leave their shoes at the door!!!!

I sleep on the floor too, currently on blankets over the carpet, I am going back to a tatami in a month, or two it is the traditional Japanese bed. I love it as well, I plan to use it for the long run.

Wow interesting! I know it it not easy to sleep on the floor without metress for you guys western people. I really appreciate to introduce Korean 이불(=Ibul, Yo) and choose it. Sometimes we might be so lazy to fold it every morning 😂 but I believe no doubt perfect choice to small area.

I was waiting for this one! :) i sleep on a regular mattress on the floor and one thing that’s been harder for me is getting out of the bed in the morning. Maybe it’s the lack of difference in levels, it just seems easier to drop off your legs from the bed.

My husband and I sleep on Japanese style futons made from cotton and wool. We love it except for one thing. Our house is very humid and because of this the beds grow mold at the snap of a finger. And the mold stains don’t come out. We air them out outside every week and have an industrial dehumidifier but we still have a mold issue. Other than that we love sleeping on the floor!

Hi, I bought a tatami and futon. The thing is I want to have a vanity desk. Is it weird to have a floor bed and having higher desk ? I can see that you have regular size shelf.

"we dont wear shoes in our house...I would recommend that you don't" ummm, we BEEN knew! LOL

I sleep on a traditional cotton futon and absolutely love it. The only time I use a pillow is if I'm sleeping on my stomach. Otherwise, a pillow kind of ruins the line of my back. As for buying futons in the US, you have to be careful about purchasing futons disguised as foam pads because there are a lot out there.

I've been wanting to get a futon for a while, but I live in a small studio and use the storage underneath the bed so it hasn't worked out yet - I think I'd get a tatami mat along with it though because I have tiled floors and they are really cold.

Wow I actually think I’d prefer this than a Japanese futon

Lovely video.:))) but You never mentioned...What’s that white metal furniture next to you on the video that holds your yo bed from keeping on the floor called?:) thx 😊

I’m considering something like this. My floor is unpacked carpet on concrete, but my ultra firm mattress is faaar too soft now. I am comfortable on dirt when camping, so I’m trying to figure out a minimal floor set up that can fold/roll away. A queen mattress is not nice in a 13 foot by 11 foot room, especially since I can’t lay out fabric for sewing. I really need to try using our futon mattress, just laying on the floor

Please let me know where can i buy the shop to buy in US> Thanks

The sprawl does it for me.

When I spend the night at my Korean friend's house we sleep on the floor and it's surprisingly not that bad and I'm used to a queen size bed lol

OMG Maria Hi! I recently was thinking of getting a 삼단요 to sleep on if I have guests over, and came across this. Hope you're doing well!! It's a beautiful mat too :)

I was thinking about it but living in new york I'd then miss out on the shelf space of a bed frame with drawers

I’m going to try it! Thanks for such an informative video!

Any pillows you recommend? Thanks!

What is name of this thing? ???

People might find them in Home and Home in Queens...? Big Korean homeware store.... Just a thought.

Anyone who lives in New York I suggest you don't ....I like wine down happy hour Where do you buy one? Amazon >_< How's the fun fun time on a yo ?

Sounds really good to me:)

Did she say “go to Korea”. 😂

Yo yo lets yoyo on a yo

Sorry - contact of the korean shop in US.

Where did you buy yours?

The Korean yo is much thinner than a Japanese futon, no? I sleep on a futon and love it.

Can you put this in the washing machine?

She sure took a long time to say "google it." But I want to do this. Thanks.

I have a matress pad I been sleeping on. i like the space n openness

This appeals to me but, unfortunately, my husband would not even be open to the idea.😏

You're sleeping on a futon not the floor

Sleeping on the floor is good, because you won't have back pains

Yeah, thats actually just called American. If he I'd a citizen, he is just American.
