Turning 60, I have yet to learn appreciation for this product niche. A decent foam-rubber thingy costs me next to nothing, can be rolled up and put in the car boot, and will last me several years, call it four or five.

- jstarfish 8y agoFutons are underrated as well. Foldable and disposable. Saves a ton of space in the room. Mattresses are oversized sanitary napkins but people keep them around far longer than they should because they pay so much for them.
- stronglikedan 8y agoI've slept on quite a few futons, especially in college, and I've never slept on one that I would consider comfortable, only merely better than the floor.
- ndiscussion 8y agoYou're lucky, I have a bear of a time sleeping and often feel physically uncomfortable sleeping on the floor. I bought a cotton-filled Japanese futon mattress and slept on it for 6 months. In the end, I was still waking up with hurt joints, almost like bruising, and I bought a $1,000 mattress instead. So I think it's due to individual nerve differences or something...
- rchaud 8y agoI'm reading the comments and feeling incredibly fortunate. I'm 33 and I've slept on a $100 Ikea queen mattress since my college days (the very basic model) and haven't had any sleep or back-related issues. I appreciate the plusher mattresses hotels have, but at no point have I thought to spend anything close to what these mattress places usually charge.
