The mattress on the floor makes it easier to go at it from many different positions, and no one is going to roll off the bed and hit the floor with a loud thud or pain, when the mattress is on the floor.

Also, most of us elders aren’t going to have a mattress on the floor, because we all know it takes lots of energy to get up from the floor, versus getting up from a framed, elevated bed. 😂

My mattress sits on top of my box spring which is on the floor of the bedroom. My other mattress/box spring/bed frame is in the living room, since it was put there after motorcycle accident #2, when I broke my back, leg, and arm and was in a wheelchair. I imagine I could move that frame to the bedroom and get rid of the LR bed, but why bother? It's not like I'm throwing dinner parties, or ever have anyone just stop by; besides, I have no furniture to put in that spot and my living room is huge (22' x 24') because it was built out from the side of the trailer.

People tell me my place looks like a (single) straight man lives here. IDGAF. Am I supposed to?

Mistress on the Floor would be a MUCH bigger deal-breaker.

I just put my mattress on the living room floor this weekend because of the heat and humidity that radiates in my bedroom, even with two big fans. The air conditioner in my apt is shit and cant cool past my hallway. It takes me back to when I had to visit my cousin every summer, and she would put out an air mattress in the living room for me to sleep on.

It seems practically avant garde when you're 20.

It's not a problem. Why would it be?

I can sleep at will and comfortably: on a floor, on a rug, on a mattress on a floor, in a hammock, on a bad mattress, on a severe sofa, on an airplane seat in coach class. I'm 65 and never suffered the princess and the pea thing.

I wouldn't have a mattress on the floor for myself, not because of comfort but because they tend to look a mess. I have antique beds and other beds that are mattresses upon boxsprings upon a low platform -- in total more or less the usual height.

It says you are a "bohemian" and "intellectual" if it's in a Paris or New York City loft.

It says you are a meth addict if it's anywhere else.

Op like you’d turn down 21 yo ass if his bed was on the floor! Allows for better fuck leverage.

It’s only not a problem if it’s a futon, which belongs on the floor

by Anonymousreply 16July 7, 2025 1:50 PM

I think if it was tastefully done as in OP's photo it would be fine. Or a futon or similar kind of scenario.

It's all about the context.....if it's on the floor and the rest of the furniture is Rent a Center specials or stinky thrift shop stuff, then that would be a big red flag.

No one is turning down a hook up with a hottie because of a bed on the floor. A relationship is a different matter.

I spent my twenties in NYC alternating between a mattress on the floor and a loft bed. Thought getting a bed at moderate height meant I had achieved proper adulthood.

If it comes with broken glass pipes and no bedsheets in an abandoned warehouse it has a certain appeal.

If it's on the floor of your sex dungeon, sure.

If it's on the floor of your bedroom, and you sleep there, it's a problem.

R12, I'm so jealous! I've been an insomniac (although not as bad as my mother, who barely sleeps at all) since I hit puberty. My bff is like that as well -- anywhere, anytime, and in practically any position, she can sleep comfortably.

I, OTOH, am on my obscure anti-depressant partially because it puts me to sleep at night, and I don't know how/if I'll ever get off of it.

The happiest times of my life have been when I had a mattress on the floor.
