Contrary to popular belief, sleeping on the floor can actually be beneficial for your health. Hard surfaces like the floor can increase bone strength
and provide a natural workout. In Japan, people often use tatami mats, soft mats, and quilts to make sleeping on the floor more comfortable

In Japan, where population density is high and living spaces are limited, placing a bed in the home can be a challenge for many
. Floor mats offer a solution, as they can comfortably accommodate multiple people. The versatility of tatami mats, which can be used as both a bed and a place for leisure activities, also saves money
by eliminating the need for extra furniture.

Many people worry about sleeping on the floor being unhygienic. But in Japan, they take off their shoes and wear socks inside
, making it easier to keep the sleeping area clean. Tatami mats are also low-maintenance and can be easily stored when not in use
