I sleep on the floor using a Japanese 2 inch futon. I use a pillow stuffed with buckwheat husks. It is heavy but I travel with it too. It helps me to sleep on my back and then another shape on my side. I use one of those foam neck cushions for between my knees when I'm on my side. To extend the life of my futon I take it outside in the sunshine every 4 weeks. l leave it out there for 3 or 4 hours. When I travel, I prefer Airbnb's because I usually get floor space to sleep on. I carry my bedding to make something similar to the futon but not nearly as comfortable. My family likes to tease me about how I fill up the van when I travel. My Apple watch tells me I'm in bed about 10 hours every night and I sleep about 7 and 1/2. I like to get more than an hour. REM and I really shoot for about the same with deep sleep. Seldom happens though. I normally have to get up six times each night to go to the bathroom.

If I eat late, meaning that I don't get 5 hours of digestion before bedtime, I use a floor recliner to keep me slightly elevated until I get past the 5-hour Mark. That helps to prevent indigestion.

Besides keeping my back stretched out and feeling good throughout the day, another benefit of sleeping on the floor is that I can get up off the floor! Those muscles still work pretty darn good.
