Question: Air Matress, Floor, or Cheap Matress, whats the best option health wise.?
Well basically I'm in univ. and I'm renting a room that came with everything except a mattress. At first I used an air mattress but eventually that broke. Now I'm just sleeping on the floor. Could sleeping on the floor cause me any health problems with my back in the long run.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It's possible, it just depends on your body. I know people who can sleep on any thing. My aunt has to have a very high quality mattress or she gets severe back pains.

The thing that I would worry about most would just not be sleeping that well, your best bet would be to buy at least a cheap mattress, Ikea has some pretty cheap ones or you could try craigslist.org if you don't mind a used one.Health Question & Answer

You *are* joking aren't you.
A concrete or any type of artificial floor does not mould to your body as it should to give your body support.
If you do not have any money to buy a supporting mattress (foam, spring or a water bed!) then get two bales of hey and spread it out on the floor, lay a sheet on top and use it as a mattress. it will absorb your body heat, keep you warm in winter and it will mould to your body sufficiently to support you where you need to be supported.

You could of course also complain to your rental guy about not having a proper mattress!

I reckon you will get 'health probs' in the *short* run if you keep on doing this!Health Question & Answer

You need to sleep on a real bed - My roommates sister sleeps on an air mattress and has developed spina bifida and is only 20. Doctor recommended that she moves to a real bed. Cheap mattress is better than air mattress/no mattressHealth Question & Answer
