Floorsleeping for heavier people
I have been toying with the idea of switching to a futon or similar for sleep for some time now, but do have a concern about how comfortable this would be for a heavy/overweight person.
I weigh in at 170kg/340lbs-ish. Not horribly unfit as I am a smallholder doing most things without mechanisation.
I have been having issues with regular pocket-sprung mattresses over the last 10 years. Even though I have bought ones rated for my weight I sleep terribly and wake up with more hip and knee pain than I went to bed with. I do like a hard mattress hence I thought a futon directly on the floor might offer better support without the pain. In discussing this with my family, they have brought up the possible issue of weight vs such a thin mattress.
So, I am asking here, just in case anyone knows. Thank you.
