Japanese bed directly on the floor.
Worried about mold i elevated it all on slatted platforms like a bed frame so far no mold.
At least not in the western sense of the word.
Totally different from the low slung western sofa bed with the same name the futon of japan lays directly on the floor typically atop a tatami or other soft mat.
Each japanese platform bed is crafted of solid wood solid bamboo timber wood or a combination of durable engineered wood and composite.
You can see the difference in quality between our japanese furniture and platform beds that use time honored traditional construction techniques such as dovetailing non toxic finishes and reinforced block.
As a guest at a ryokan or inn you often are expected to do the same.
A futon is a japanese bed.
Another reason is that the tatami grass mats provide relaxing properties that help induce sleep.
Part of it stems from buddha s philosophy on minimalism.
So it seems odd that instead of adopting a high tech bed that many choose to sleep on the floor.
This question has puzzled people for decades.

The japanese have maintained a unique minimalist approach to sleeping for centuries a sleep system that s vastly different from much of the rest of the world.
But so far my bed is too firm and thin.
When you walk into a japanese bedroom there s a good chance there won t be a bed in sight.
The japanese are known for technological advances.
