When I was 23 and doing startups full time, I slept on a hardwood floor with just a blanket and a pillow. Helped me to get up in the morning and do work, did nothing bad for my body as far as I can tell.
- newnewpdro 7y agoI've slept on a carpeted floor for decades, zero back issues. Just one night sleeping on a conventional mattress leaves me with weird back pains and a stiff neck. Not only are they costly and a PITA to move, mattresses waste a lot of space too. Traditional Japanese tatami mats are basically the same thing in terms of flatness and hardness, they're not known for having sleep/back troubles.

- AJ007 7y agoThat's ridiculous that you were down voted. My brother slept on a rock hard bed as a kid and is able to sleep on the floor, without a pillow, all night no problem. The soft bed thing is more of a cultural issue than a biological necessity.
- xenospn 7y agoAnyone who has ever been to bootcamp can tell you that it really doesn't matter where you sleep if you're REALLY tired. I would sleep on the ground if they let me. I would fall asleep sitting down, then stand up and fall asleep again. And when I did finally go back to my tent to sleep on my 50 year old army bed in a used sleeping bag, it was the best sleep I ever had.
