@JapanwithNao would you suggest someone moving to Japan temporarily to get a futon for convenience? So I wouldn’t have such a trouble moving furniture around.
Its hard to understand what you are saying because the music is covering up what you are saying, as you are not a native speaker. We are watching the video to hear what you have to say say on a topic. No one watches information and cultural videos videos for the back ground music
I am at 7 months on a futon. I have found I like a very firm bed. I am also benefiting from getting up and down from the floor. I have definitely improved my flexibility and sleeping.
I never thought about the problem of mold! I have a friend who prefers futons, but hers is on a low frame--6 " from the floor. I prefer a bed, in part because I enjoy reading in bed. And I live where it gets down to -30C in the winter.
I think futons are much better than the beds . They free up space , provide better back support and a few things to prevent mold and better heat is to use a bedsheet set and a comforter along with the futon . If you do that , it will not only keep it clean but also absorb extra moisture . Also a tatami mat under the futon will keep it clean and warm . Beds can also develop mold if you don’t air them and use bedsheet comforter sets , regularly washed .
Pros of floor sleeping: 1. Once you get used to it, you feel very comfortable. 2. Can build a good morning ritual (not always) Cons of floor sleeping: 1. It's not ideal in colder climates 2. Tedious to put away 3. May need to invest in a dehumidifier 4. Can be more expensive than a traditional bed setup For me, the one pro out weights all of these cons. But you genuinely have to try it yourself with a blanket, sleeping bag or yoga mat before you can understand the intricacies. While there is only one pro, it's easily worth it because my sleep quality has vastly improved.
Futon on the bedframe or couch style frame and boom, you get all the best benefits :) natural, firm, breatheble, off the ground, can combine different layers for more firmness or cusion :)
Most younger people wouldn't know that futons were a huge trend in the late 80s to later 90s in the U.S and Canada,. Long before the current obsession with japans culture. I have a futon that I have used on futon frames and then moved it on to European style slat beds when they became a thing here. People would shame me if they knew how old it is...that how well made it was.
I've slept on elevated futon couches (a frame that folds to be a couch or flattens to be a bed), and mattresses with and without box springs. I prefer mattresses without box springs, personally. Something you can do to get a bit of space back from your bed is to put it on a platform that has storage under it. You can put things in there you only use part of the year, like storing Winter bedding (heavy quilts and comforters) during the Summer. You can also get frames that give space over the bed, or frames that raise the bed up off the floor so you sleep closer to the ceiling. Then you can put a desk or a reading space under the bed.
We always test the matress before buying. But also, may suppliers have 4 week free return policy. We mainly use matress, but are OK to sleep on Futon in Japan.
i think a really big problem with sleeping direktly on the floor you didn't mention in my country is, that the floor of the rooms is not so clean that you want your clean bed there directly on it... There are slippers in Germany, but most people still wear them for a short time in the garden or yard. Therefore they are not really clean. And then walk through the entire apartment. Worse (i personally find it worse, others not), people often forget to take off their street shoes. It's even a bit rude here in Germany to ask guests to take off their shoes. You won't go into the bedroom with it, but the dirt will spread around... There is in Germany a thing like a Futon, it is called Guest matress. it looks like a futon and it is thin like a futon and hard like a futon. it is used as an easy portable bed if there come friends of your child and need a additional bed. or if you (as a mother p.e.) want to sleep in the room of your child. then you can use this, too. (but then you clean the floor before and you will be strikt with the dirty shoes...).
Hey, it's been a while! I had been away because of the summer holidays myself, but now I'm back😉. Japan(Tokyo) is fine! Just hot as always..😂 Don't be nervous! You will have a wonderful time in Japan😚
In the US if you sleep on the floor your poor and of those who do it usually on a mattress without a frame. What many people in the US do if they have limited space is either buy a sofa that turns into a bed or use what called a murphy bed which is a mattress that is recessed into the wall that you pull down when in use. I am sure one of the AIrbnb I stay at next month will have futon to sleep on
Thank you for watching again😉 I see! So it's a bit different from the reason in Japan then😃 Young Japanese also use a sofa bed but it's very rare to find a Murphy bed in Japan I believe😎 Have a good futon experience in Japan next month!
Murphy beds are not really a thing. Very few people have the. Only people who want to buy or live in a 300sq ft apartment . They are very expensive. We have the space and dont need them. Murphy beds are also not new were first appeared in the 1920's then disappeared
This is a damn lie. You don't have to be classified as poor to sleep on the floor in the US. People who can't afford a bed do sleep on the floor but so do people who know of it's health benefits. I sleep in a hammock or on the floor with no mattress or futon and I'm far from poor!
And your generation will eventually start having the same health problems that come with sleeping on a bed as the countries who have been doing it for ages. We weren't meant to sleep on soft elevated beds. You'll go back to the floor when you're old. Trust. I grew up in the US in beds and I can't tell you how my life changed when I started sleeping on the floor in my 40s. Saved my life and improved my health. Millions of people with ancient histories like yourself, sleep on the floor. They know better. You don't need to adopt the ways of people who have no ancient history...
Do you prefer sleeping on a Japanese Futon or Bed? Tell me your opinion😉 Thank you for watching😎
@JapanwithNao would you suggest someone moving to Japan temporarily to get a futon for convenience? So I wouldn’t have such a trouble moving furniture around.
Thank you for watching👌 That's a good idea. I also use a futon if I temporarily live in some places😉
@@JapanwithNao thank you for the tips!
I have a bed and a jet leg! ☺️

Thank you for this pov! I am glad to hear from both sides to make a decision.
Thank you for watching! Have a good sleep anyway😊

Now that i sleep on the floor i get much better sleep.

Thank you for watching😉 That's good!
I guess many Japanese don't try it before buying...as long as it's not expensive😂
i live for soft springy cushy beds, my partner much prefers a harder surface so a futon would be perfect for him.

of course the japanese futon .. the hardness of the floor improves your bone and muscle because it is firm 🌟
domo nao san 💫
You really should have a tatami mat under a Japanese futon not just have it on the floor.
Thank you for watching and your advice😉
😍😍
I loved sleeping on a mattress on floor
Nao 👋I have just a few days. Everything is Ok in Japan? I am so anxious😬 ..🥵Prepared to the hot🔥 summer ☀️ .. But not Hurricane..

Please tell me how someone with a hip replacement can sleep on the floor.🤔
