Sleeping on the floor

[Jim Ouini]

I slept on one of those Aerobeds for about a week when I was in the process of moving.

Pretty convenient and you can adjust the firmness (read: inflate it); not quite as good as a bed, but it was serviceable.

Plus you can just deflate it and roll it up like a sleeping bag. And if you have a Costco nearby you can return it after you move

Hello All,

I have rented an apartment for 8 weeks before I move to another city. Its just that one lease was up and the other doesn't start till Sept. So, got a place inbetween. Now, the problem is that the mattress is a joke. Its way too soft and has definitely affected my back in that it feels weaker. This has been obvious in the gym this week and have taken a few days off now to get rested and strengthened up again.

In order to maintain my strength, should I sleep on the bed base or better again, but a thick duvet on the floor and sleep on that.

Choice C is to buy one a mattress for the 8 weeks, but that involves the thoughts of parting with my hard earned cash!!! I may have no other choice!

Rip the bedroom door off and put it between the mattressess to add some support. Don't sleep on the floor. I did that a couple of times when I moved into my old place many years ago. My body ached all over the next morning. Plus, the cold air at floor level and the dust and molds in the carpets are not good for your health.

Alternative, is to get a girlfriend and sleep on top of her. Great for your back and everything else too.

8 weeks is nothing

ive slept in hostels for that long

i suggest buying a cheap air matress for now then getting a firm pillowtop when you move

If you really want to save money, buy an air mattress or a couple of the self-inflating air mattresses that back-packers use and then sleep on the floor. I use 2 of the self-inflators when back-packing or when I sleep in my truck. They work fine.

What about a 2-3" thick memory foam mattress pad? Should be able to move that w/o too much trouble.

buy a tent and sleep in the backyard

Occasionally when I have to crash somewhere, I will voluntarily sleep on the floor. I do this because I feel like a million bucks in the morning, seriously. I must be the exception.
