Because they didn't even have European beds until 65 years ago.

They're poor as fuck so they don't have beds and conserve space. They still even love sitting on the fucking floor and only have some low ass tables.

I've always wondered about this too. Maybe it's softer with the mat flooring, but you'd think that a European style bed would be more comfortable. Unless space really is that serious an issue.

Most nips sleep on proper beds now it's just an anime meme like the protags family running a Japanese sweets shop.

It's because the tatami makes sleeping on the floor super comfy. And they can use that space for other things since they live in super small apartments.

How else are you going to get enormous house spiders into your mouth and hair, do you have a better suggestion?

>How else are you going to get enormous house spiders into your mouth

Nigga what are you talking about

Sitting on the floor actually isn't bad if you have carpet and some kind of cushion. The only problem is when you don't have low ass tables.

slept for a year on the floor during my time in japan. I miss it, to be honest.

>Unless space really is that serious an issue.
It is, especially if you live in an apartment in the city. Think Tatami Galaxy, a 4.5 tatami mat room (which is on the small side but fairly common) is less than 7 square meters. A western style bed's going to take up like 1/4 of the room.

I thought like 90% of people in Japan's rural areas used Western style housing and thus furniture?
Series where they live in Tokyo always have normal beds and dinner tables.

I had to sleep on a futon for a little while when my old bed broke. It was pretty comfy, but definitely not ideal here in Texas where there's always bugs getting in the house.

Thisis the correct answer.

You wake up, fold your futon, put it in the wardrobe, and thus you have much more space.

>3th potential of the world
>poor

>Country is rich
>Therefor everyone who lives in the country much be rich

Tatami mats are pretty comfy.

You should realize that you actually eat a spider every week or so when sleeping.

You should realize that's a myth.

>r-right, g-guys?

It's a myth you eat 1 a week or 7 a year.

That number is far far to low.

There is hundreds of thousands of microscopic spiders on your eyelid hairs alone, you swallow a couple dozen every time you swallow. They are in your mouth now.

Who cares though?

Nice fucking try, spider.

>no bed to save space
You can store a ton of shit under your bed.
Meanwhile, if you wanna put your futon away to use that extra space, you'll need a place to store it anyway.

All of Japan's bed factories were destroyed in WW2, and by an obscure part of the peace treaty of San Francisco, they are not allowed to build new ones.

...

>not sleeping on the floor without a Lizardo to eat the spiders

beds are a literal waste of space. Futons make a lot more sense.

Looks comfy, but looks like you'd get more bed bugs

are you implying macarthur had some sort of no bed fetish?

>using floor space at all
>not using a superior hammock
>not being comfy supreme

Get on my level compadres

>A hammock
>In doors
>Saving any space at all
What is hanging from? The air? Because I can't find a hammock that doesn't come with a sex swing looking stand.

They come out at night time and mate.

What? Western architecture was introduced long before 65 years ago.
How can this board discuss so much Weeb shit so casually while being so utterly ignorant of what the Meiji restoration was.

How is this thread Sup Forums related?

miyako?

Futons are god tier for your back, not to mention being able to just fold the entire thing and put it away whenever you are not using it.

Because newfags think jp is the tohou and idol board

Get a stud detector nigga. Despite what the name might suggest, it's not merely to augment your gaydar. It also finds the framing timber in the walls, and the ceiling joists.

Or, depending on the construction of your domicile, just attach it to exposed joists.

more and more families switch over to western beds, only when they have not a lot of money or still live in traditional japanese houses that they use futons

I sleep on the floor. I've done so ever since my air mattress popped and I'm too cheap to buy a new one.

It's fucking awful. IF you can maintain a neutral position, it's good for your back, but having any kind of pillow fucks up your spine still. You basically need no cushioning and going on your sides will cause lack of circulation to your extremities. I regularly wake up unable to feel my goddamn arms and legs.

You also cannot get restorative effects from sleep, at all. I sleep 6 hours and it feels like an 8 hour workday. Mentally, physically exhausted fighting posture and circulations all night while you're unconscious.

Soft, elevated beds might be shit but the Japs don't know any better.

>How else are you going to get enormous house spiders into your mouth and hair?
Yes please.

>sleep on just a mattress on the floor with a 'box' around it so the mattress doesn't move around
>wake up refreshed and never have to drink coffee
>rest of my family sleeps on mattresses on box springs in their homes
>they all wake up groggy and have to drink coffee to do anything

The Japanese have the right idea.

That's actually a side effect of drinking coffee. Its addictive and you get legit withdrawal symptoms,

>withdrawal symptoms
They're Really mild, its very easy to just stop drinking coffee for a week.

Why do japs walk around their houses without shoes on? Do they want to get their feet dirty?

Why would they care about that?
They dont use feet to eat.

Oh fuck, I do this with my cat too. Fat ass son of a bitch hates moving.

>im anti-social female who lets pets rule over me
get a dog

I have a dog. Also, a penis. I don't mind my cat sleeping on my bed, it's just a pain when he gets there first and sits right in the middle.

Don't worry a bed doesnt save you from that.

I don't use the floor to eat either.

I dont sleep with my mouth open

>3th
Good job

No that shit is uncomfortable as fuck, you sink immediately to the ground

user go steal people's newspapers till you can sleep on them

>architecture
>furniture

Hmmm

>yfw you realize that's why he wears the mask

p sure those are mites, not spiders

what the fuck is the science behind this

I used to do it when I lived in my grandma's house as a kid
there wasn't enough room for all of me and my siblings to have beds so we'd lay one big futon and sleep, and in the mornings fold it up into the cupboard

I have a hammock but it makes the room look more like a homeless den. I could get the flat rope ones but those are too easy to flip and is too cold.

>what the fuck is the science behind this

Who the fuck sleeps at night?

Because Westerners are stupid, they seem to think that the bed is originated in Europe. And even though they see everyday china cartoon, they can't even notice that beds are commonly used in modern Japan.

That looks like a bed drawn by a guy who has never seen a bed.

It's probably a box spring and a mattress without a frame. That's how I have my bed set up at home. The low headboard is kind of stupid, though.

>walk around house with shoes on
>floor gets even dirtier
Are you retarded? I will beat your fucking ass if you dare come into my house and don't take your shoes off. My floors are PRISTINE.

>box spring
>on the ground

Part of it is cultural preferences, the other part is many Japanese live in very small apartments.

There are few people who have never slept in bed in modern Japan. For Japanese, it is usual for Japanese to sleep in bed other than narrow apartments or pure Japanese rooms.

The same reason I sleep in the couch! It's the ideal environment for mass production of doujinshi.

tatami floor + futon is comfy though

The idea, as I understood it, was to put a miniature wind turbine in a mask, such that you could generate electricity by breathing, allowing you to charge your phone while looking like bane.

Unfortunately, that's fucking stupid.

>what is a twin-size mattress
You can sit on the bed.
You can put shit under the bed.
Bed is very narrow.
Bed is very cheap.

What the fuck are they doing?

because gaijins put fucking shoes in their room

no wonder they need a table to climb up to get some sleep

I stayed in New York in a super tiny apartment for a few months and was actually considering getting myself a Japanese futon thing just to have more space at my place, since I literally could not fit my bed and my PC in my bedroom at the same time.

I figured they couldn't be that bad or that uncomfy since lots of Japs do it, and it'd save me a shit tonne of space. I asked /jp/ about it though and they said that every so often you have to take it outside and beat the ever loving shit out of it and let it sun bathe, or it'll go bad. That killed the idea of getting one for me though so I threw that idea out the window.

I had to settle for just setting up my PC in my small living room area instead.

Yes it is. It's fucking awful.

>gaijins put fucking shoes in their room
Only americans do that

That's because the room in Japan is not an unhygienic environment covered with dog's poo and mud like an American room.

My grandparents sleep on the floor, It was common during their time

This.

how is that any worse than washing your sheets?

>1978+38
>not sleeping in a water bed

Yes it is. IIRC, the guy who wrote it was trying to sell a book of random, weird facts and he made it up on the spot because money.

airbeds>waterbeds
waterbeds are annoying to get out of

I throw my sheets in a washing machine, not take them outside to beat up before hanging it to dry you dense cunt.

I don't know. I live in the Netherlands immigrant origin. Yes yes, I know, I'm a shitskin and while my family doesn't do that, I've seen enough native families do it. Not all of them, but some. It kind of depends on who you visit, but it certainly isn't just Americans doing this shit.

>Be ex-JEt
>Anime portrays it as anime girls crawling into bed in the middle of the night
>What it actually is having to move the table, get the futon out of the cupboard, laying it all down
>Middle of the night you wake up cold because there's no weight in the corners like you would have in a proper raised western bed
I forget how many times I just grabbed a blanket and slept on the floor at night.

Americans are wearing shoes even when they are fucking. I can guess it cuz I have watched thier porn.

I remember back in the 90's when everybody was memeing about water beds and how amazing and cool they were. Like how it was a trope in television for the cool kid to have a water bed.

Haven't heard jack shit about water beds since though, so it really makes me think.

McArthur is among the earliest American SJW though.
He have a loli fetish, having a little mistress locked inside a hotel, forbidden to wander out like how liberals wanted to control their minorities.
And he hated porn, forbidding Japan to do so, leading to Japanese forced to pull all their evasive shit just to protect their culture from that SJW little snot.

>domicile

I had a good giggle m8

This. When my great great grandfather died he was outside making sure that the chickens were jailed properly for the night. He died there and the woman was unable to drag him inside, so she just took some blankets and slept with his body until the sun rose.

cuz he's gotta bring it outside and beat the shit out of it and let it sit in the sun.

pretty different from washing sheets really. tf is he going to do that in nyc without looking like a maniac?

What the fuck if anything McArthur is a Sup Forumstard dream.

You savage

kek I had forgotten about water beds. I burglar houses for a living and I once knifed a water bed back in the 98. Best part is that I know someone who knows the owner of that house, and he told me that the dude was always talking about the fucking water bed because he really liked it. That is, until I knifed it.
