Hey people from Lemmy, i like to try out a Futon since many people report they found better sleep with it. I would love to read some more experiences.

So anyone who slept on a Futon on a daily Basis how is or was your experience with it?

Edit: Thanks for all your replies. I think i go for it and just try one out!

I like the futon for several reasons.

When you aren't sleeping, it folds neatly and you can tuck it in your closet, making the room more spacious and easier to clean.
You can move it easily to give it sunlight so the UV will kill bacteria, allowing you to wash it less frequently.
If you have tatami flooring it's very comfortable, the smell is wonderful, and it helps you sleep better (sadly hard to get outside of Asia).
If you move during your sleep, there is zero chance you will fall off the bed and hit your face.
When comparing it to a western bed with a frame, it is cheaper than even the crappiest IKEA bedframe that will squeak with every movement and break when having too much fun with your partner.
