This video is all about why I love sleeping on the floor! I've now slept on the floor quite a few times and figured I'll share with my experience with you.

wow I went camping during the summer and I slept in my sleeping bag and on my yoga mat at the forest and it was PERFECT

I sleep on a cotton Japanese futon and it is the best sleep I’ve ever had. I have had back and hip pain my whole life and have been diagnosed with restless leg.... it is all 100% gone. I used to be someone who could sleep till noon and still feel tired, it’s now so much easier to wake up early and feel rested. I have my futon folded in half and used at a sofa during the day and I love it, it’s to the point now where I can’t stand sitting in western “lounge” type chairs

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

I love that! Which one are you using and would you recommend it? I can't wait to move and set it all up!! 😍

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

That sounds amazing! Thank you so much! I'll definitely be looking at cotton ones then! :)

I sleep on a mattress topper on the floor together with my 3 children and we love it. My late husband lived in South Korea for 3 years before we were married and he introduced me to floor sleeping, I will never go back to a traditional bed!

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing! I love that his life in South Korea inspired you all to sleep on the floor! I am currently sleeping on the floor again and freakin' loving it!

@dannystackhouse4600 5 лет назад

whats the name of it? im looking for a mattress topper like the one you love. thank you

@Chaoticallynikki 3 года назад

Which mattress topper do you use ?

@tealfullmer2149 3 года назад

I wish I could remember exactly. I know I purchased it at Wal-Mart for around $80 but I didn't recognize any that are currently on their website. Sorry!

@amberbariaktari 3 года назад

We bought and love the Emoor Japanese queen floor mattress. It’s firm and only 3 inches thick. I found out in my teenage years that I love floor beds and I feel more grounded so I’ve always felt like I need to be sleeping on the floor. Now at 44 I am. I also slept on the floor on a mattress when I lived in New York and loved it. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and for me my floor bed and how firm it is helps align my joints more and I sleep better and have less pain.

@waynecampbell9398 4 года назад

Thank you for making this video. I have watched many videos on sleeping on the floor and your have convinced me. I have back pain. I'm a tree climber and the back pain isn't a good thing when I'm 120ft in a tree. Thank you

@theminimalistninja 4 года назад

I'd definitely give it a try! :)

@cmfsobl 4 года назад

True story - I’ve been sleeping on the floor for about 10 years. No mattress or anything - just a carpeted floor, pillows and blanket. No reason in particular either; I enjoy spreading out body out and I toss/turn a lot so the floor just seemed like the right answer.

I too love to sleep on yoga mats!I sometimes sleep on the floor if I have back ache,it really helps to relieve it and the pain goes when I wake up and I feel so refreshing.

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

That's awesome! I've experimented with yoga mats in the past and do on occasions whenever the need arises. It's great! I am thrilled to hear that it helps you with relieving back ache!! :)

I slept on the hardwood floor and It strengthened my bones

@Christain214 5 лет назад

I’m not against the idea however I live in an apartment and we have that ugly spectacle carpet and you never know when there’s something crawling. There was a major ant problem two months again in our building and I lost my mattress. I’m currently sleeping on a futon. It’s not the best but it’s off the floor and something to sleep on. I think if it wasn’t a convertible couch it would be better because I don’t mind the firmness

@mettainacan7813 5 лет назад

I always feel so inspired with your videos... I can't see futton happening in our life and my husband being on board,but still, its lovely to see. We have hard cold tiles so I'm not sure it would work here in the winter

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

Thank you so much! I am thrilled to hear that! 😊 It can definitely be a huge change and may involve some trial and error. If the floor is cold it's probably all about having a good base layer 😊

@thomasbourland3605 4 года назад

Thank you for the video. I’d love to know what kind of futon that you slept on during your house sit? The grey cover looks heavy duty. I got into sleeping on the floor after listening to Katy Bowman talk about the benefits. However I always enjoyed the firmness it provided as opposed to traditional mattress. Right now I’m using a Kelty sleeping pad on the floor. This is my second sleeping pad as the other one delaminated after a year of use. I’m looking for something similar made out of latex and think the one in the video looks ideal.

@salp7426 5 лет назад

Hi Nina! Are you a back/stomach or side sleeper? Do you think this makes a difference to floor sleeping? 😴

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

I am a stomach and side sleeper 😊 I don't see how it would make a difference to be honest 😊

@michaeljking 5 лет назад

Ikea Futon cotton mattress placed on top of a Rush/reed mat, 1" memory foam top for comfort is all that's needed for myself. I slept on this for a year or so before building a wooden platform to place it on to make it feel more like a regular bed, Currently sleeping on a regular bed and really miss the futon

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for getting recommendation! Currently I am thinking that I might just buy 2 regular used yoga mattresses along with a cotton or latex futon that's 140x90. The yoga mattresses I could probably get for less than €5 each and would make a good base for the futon. I am in Copenhagen right now and sleeping on the floor with just two yoga mats and it's comfortable enough 😊 I can imagine! It sounded you had a great setup! 😊

@DavidS-ox3li Год назад

So far it sounds like the most comfortable futon you found was the latex one in south korea? How thick is the one you have now and what is it filled with?

@janerodr5220 5 лет назад

I sleep on floor also best thing 4 my back especially when spinal cord problems 😁 hurrah 4 the no bed burn all beds. 🤣

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing! What does your set-up look like? Do you sleep on a futon, the bare floor, a mat? I'd love to know! I am always looking for inspiration! :D

@lumay1966 5 лет назад

I'm curious if you used any blankets for cushioning when you slept on the yoga mat. When I lived in Seattle, I slept on the floor. I used a fluffy comforter as my mattress, and I had sheet and blanket to drape over me. It was the best sleep that I got! My husband and I have our boxspring and mattress on the floor, but I sleep on a thin cot mattress when I stay at my parents' house (once a week), and I love it! I read somewhere about the importance of being able to get up from and down to the floor as we age, and sleeping on the floor is a good supplement to any yoga and flexibility work.

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

I am currently in Copenhagen and sleeping on a yoga mat with no cushioning and have done that in the past as well! :) That's awesome and sounds so comfortable! I can totally see that! It also forces you to actually get up. I find that I get up more easily when sleeping on the floor as opposed to on a thick mattress. It's interesting really. It can make a big difference! :)

@freshbrewedasmr3378 3 года назад

I want to try sleeping on the floor but we sometimes have roaches and I HATE those things, and even sleeping on a Western type bed I woke up one morning to a roach 😖

@CalmVibesVee 5 лет назад

Happy for you Nina : ) I visited a friend in Seattle for 2wks. There I slept on a good quality blow up mattress with a foam topper. It was great! I know I could adjust to more minimal sleeping arrangements but I think a transition period would need to happen. My husband likes a firm king size mattress so that is what we do. But if our lifestyle progresses more minimal 🙏🏼 then I would surely try it out! I enjoyed hearing about your experiences with it and glad it is working so well for you! It is finally cool weather here in Tulsa and I get to go hiking more yeah! Sending peace and love to you Nina. 🤗🦋

@lumay1966 5 лет назад

My husband and I have a firm king mattress, but we ditched our headboard and frame. Now, we have the box spring and mattress on the floor, and it works well for us. I would love to transition to a proper futon, but we've had our current mattress for just four years. Maybe when it's time to replace it (or if we move), I can convince him to get even closer to the floor.

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing! I totally get that! My man wasn't keen on the idea until he gave it a try on our recent trip to South Korea. He's sold on the idea now! If I were to have a mattress right now I'd definitely wait until it's to old/worn out and would then look into thinner options. I love playing around with things like that and my most recent move away from NYC and my trip to SK motivated me to look into futons a little more! 😊Much love from Copenhagen 💚❤😊

I will get cold and probably die lol

@theminimalistninja 5 лет назад

It's pretty common to sleep on the floor, especially in certain Asian countries. If you use some sort of base layer you won't be cold at all 😊 Besides, the only floors that are ever really cold are natural stone, no? Not to common of a material in rooms besides bathrooms and kitchens 😊

@ChideraStephen 5 лет назад

Ohh wow That’s good I’ll try it
