I use granite slab as my bed. In winters I heat it from below using silicone temperature controlled mats. Am I the only one who prefers flat and hard bed? Granite is my bed and mattress.

  When the temperature drops below a certain point you can find him sleeping underneath the granite slab.

I have a ridiculously bad back (as does my father) and have developed a large variety of tricks to minimize pain. One is I sleep on a maximally firm futon. When I go on trips, if the bed I’m sleeping in is too soft, I lay a blanket on hard wood and sleep on it. I sleep very well this way. A slab of granite would be fine as a bed. If I was ever put in a dungeon, at least I would sleep soundly on the concrete floor!

No! I love sleeping on hard flat surfaces! Did you make your own bed?

I do not do it any more due to change in environment (my abode), but earlier once every few months, I would take a thin comforter below me, one thin comforter above me, and all that on the carpeted floor. Any time I had a back pain, I knew this was the way to fix it. Also, my mattresses used to be firm. Somehow my last 2 mattresses have become saggy after just over a year. I dumped the first one, but now wondering what to do for the second one and with the covid situation and not everything open, I just have not had the time to chase things, and my mental estimate is that my body requires one hour less sleep (I am not pushing it, that's how it ends up) on a firm mattress.

My apologies for the following, but this is something I have never heard of. I have many questions I tried googling but the beds seem to be stone but you then place a mattress on. Doesn't it hurt your bones when you wake up in the morning? How long have you slept on it? Is it in a frame or straight on the floor? Is your floor specially supported or is it thin like a kitchen bench top?
