Is an expensive mattress worth the money? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Idk why I always wake up with either my sides or neck or smth hurting when I wake up but that didn't happen while I stayed at a hotel. It's not like I'm an old broken man who should be waking up expecting this.

Good to see another futon lover!

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably just a brand issue, but every futon I've ever been on, which has unfortunately been a lot of them, has been incredibly uncomfortable and you can feel every bar as if there wasn't even cushioning.

The thin futons are like that, I tested several in the store before I chose. The one I have is thick enough to not feel the bars. There is one thicker (it has more wool) that I would probably choose next time because the wool does compress over time. I don't really see the point of the thin ones, they were definitely uncomfortable.

It's because it hurt my soul to spend a bunch of money on a mattress. Plus, I like the aesthetics of folding up my bed when I get up, having that space available for use.

How'd you end up liking futons?

[–] luthis 3 points 1 year ago

I slept on a futon at my grandparent's place and really enjoyed the comfort. It's also nice to be lower to the ground for some reason, and in general I love the Japanese aesthetic.

The base I bought can convert to a couch or into a sitting upright position which is nice for watching movies or reading. I unfortunately miss out on regaining floor space though.
