Hi, new guy here. Been lurking for a while and finally have a question. Anyone sleep regularly on something other than a standard bed? Camping pad, sleeping bag, hammock, tatami mat?

I have a heavy latex mattress on a bulky wooden platform. It's very comfy and organic, but sometimes it feels like a burden. It's tough to move and cost a fortune, and I can't say it's worked any miracles on my back pain. Plus I've never liked changing and washing lots of bedding anyway.

So I've been thinking of simpler sleeping. To start with, I've ordered an REI camping pad. Tried one recently at a store and was very surprised by how comfortable it was. I'll toss a flat sheet and wool blanket over it and call it a bed. Just not sure I'll like sleeping on the floor.

I've already gone TV-free, car-free, smartphone-free, and other-normal-things-free, so why not bed-free?

P.S. I have not gone fridge-free or money-free. I draw the line somewhere.
