For a long ass period of time Europe slept on rope mattresses

You literally needed to tighten the ropes on your bed to sleep tight so it was comfortable.

    Lol I know! Plus you reclaim so much space in a small hovel if you can take down your hammock every morning...

    Honestly we still do this... japanese futons are the same parallel. We have a permanent bed in western bedrooms where the Japanese temporarily set theirs out and put it away in the morning. I could fit so much more stuff if i did that...

    Sleeping on a futon on a tatami floor is really comfy, too. I find it great for my back (oddly enough).
