[QUOTE="Kaylos, post: 6354822, member: 6778092"] On a side note, I actually sleep on a japanese style bed now because of my sleep experiences as an infantryman in the Army. One day I had an idea to think of the best sleep I ever had when our old mattress was wearing out. I realized that oddly enough that some of the best sleep I had ever had was in the field laying on a grass bed. So in trying to figure out how to recreate that, I came across the japanese style bed of a cotton futon mattress in a tatami mat. The bed simulates sleeping on the ground providing solid support for the body, while the futon has just enough give to be like laying on a bed of thick grass/foliage. I sleep great now without being sore in the morning like I did on a standard mattress, and my wife who had chronic back pain due to a curvature of the spine only complains intermittently of back pain anymore. Before, she complained daily of back pain. Just throwing that out there, that sleeping on the ground isn't that bad. The bone structure of the body actually supports the body instead various muscles. The problem with sleeping on the ground isn't the sleeping on the ground (other than debris/roots poking at you), but being exposed to the elements. It seemed relevant given the nature of the conversation. [/QUOTE]
