I just sleep on the floor rolled up in a giant blanket like a caterpillar in a cocoon. I have no idea why, but it works for me. Mattresses always hurt my back.
It's a thing if you have back problems.
I honestly did not know this. I alternate between horrible hip and shoulder pain, until I go back to the cocoon.
Go see someone for your back if you can. You don't want to put that off. Trust me lol.
I remember asking my dad to cocoon me in blankets as a kid. It was wicked comfy.
Nowadays I'm in a hammock. It's way more comfy on my hips than a mattress and it gives me that happy cuddled feeling.
Never thought of a hammock. I’ll put that in my back pocket for when I have more space.
That hammock sounds definitive "cocoon".
You gonna wake up with wings one day?
We should get to for what we have to deal with just sleeping comfortably.
Why do we never play nightcrawlers anymore?
