Today, I need a new mattress. Last night, I slept on the floor. It was the best sleep I've had in a while. FML

Glad to hear that despite the inconvenience, you got some rest.

So did you wake up with hard wood? Or a stiff back? *Ba-dumm tiss*

Maybe all you need is a blanket and a pillow then you're all set!

I actually prefer to sleep on floors than soft mattresses.

This. Soft mattresses are back pain waiting to happen. If a bed feels like I'm sinking into quicksand, I'd rather take the floor, kthx.

How does this even count as an FML? You literally just slept on a floor and liked it.

OP didn't actually say they liked it. Just that their bed is so awful that sleeping on the floor is actually more comfortable by comparison. Having a preference if forced to choose between two things doesn't really mean that you really enjoy either option.

I'm guessing your bed USED to be comfortable, and is no longer? If you don't have the money for one now, you could buy a roll mat or floor style futon, and sleep on that until you get a bed. It'll save space in the mean time too!

How did this make it past the moderators? How is it even an FML?

Having to sleep on the floor is generally not pleasant regardless of if it's preferable to an awful bed. Being somewhat sore is still better than being in agony, but that doesn't make being sore enjoyable.

You may want to try the time tested trick with mattresses of "flip it over and/or end wise" Honestly not sure how many people remember this these days.

okay... 90% of the world sleeps on the floor at best. this is not an fml, this is a whiny brat. buy a Japanese style futon on Amazon for 90 bucks and have the best bed you've ever slept on if you like somewhat firm sleeping conditions.

So? Just because other people have problems doesn't mean we can't complain about ours, no matter how less severe ours may be.

This sort of thing could be said about pretty much every FML so... maybe you shouldn't be here?
