> Extra credit: the bottom of your mattress won't be all gross. That's the one big reason to me actually. I lived for years with a mattress on the floor. It was cool: really was. It wasn't about money: it was just a way to explain that I just didn't give a fuck about the way things were supposed to be. My cheap, used and beaten up Porsche 911 Carrera (another way to say fuck you) in the driveway and a mattress on the floor: that was my Hank Moody way of life (which btw predated the Hank Moody character). People, upon seeing that, would understand there were exactly zero fucks given about the way society should be. A mattress on the floor is a statement. But a bedframe: it costs next to nothing. Heck, you can even build one yourself if your a bit of a DIYer and know what a dowel is. Stick your mattress on a bedframe. Buy a roomba: make sure it can vaccuum clean under the bed. Believe me: been there, done that. A bedframe is cleaner. It's also more comfy. Big bonus if that bedframe has got a headroom in alcantara or something: that is just smooth compared to the wall. My wife since 15 y/o and mother to our 10 y/o kid? We met up when I had that ascetic way of life: three pairs of socks, three undies, an old beaten up sportscar and a mattress on the floor. And, yes, a semi-fancy stereo (not that I knew that Steve Jobs lived like that, I had no idea: I just happened back then, by chance, to stumble on a pair of Pierre-Etienne Leon speakers / aka "P-E Leon" : shittiest website there is for a high-end speakers brand I'd say). This just made all nostalgic. I kinda wish I could re-live these moments again. But I take it it's just me getting old. Upgraded the speakers. Upgraded the car. Put the mattress on a bedframe.
