Why do some people like sleeping on hard mattresses and others prefer softer ones? And why do humans need matresses and beds at all?
Even dogs and cats seek soft beds. They may not build them, but they smooth out sleeping areas.JasonRox said:Humans probably always had comfortable beds. Don't monkeys make their own beds with sticks? I slept on sticks before and it wasn't that bad at all. You have to get the right ones though.

When I was little we had a terrier that had a security blanket that he would drag with him wherever he went. When he was ready to lay down he would put one hind foot on one corner of the blanket and hold the other corner in his mouth, he'd then turn in circles until the corner in his mouth was twisted to a point, lay on the blanket with the blanket point in his mouth and go to sleep sucking on it. He had that blanket until the day he died. We buried him with it.hypatia said:lol My dog builds her bed everynight.

I can just picture that.franznietzsche said:Our golden hides under the bunk beds in my brothers' room, surrounded by a mountain of our socks. Its her den.
As humans, we require a certain amount of sleep each night to function properly. Beds provide a comfortable and supportive surface for us to rest on, allowing our bodies to fully relax and recharge for the next day.
Hard mattresses are often recommended for people who struggle with back pain or other orthopedic issues. They provide a firm and supportive surface that can help maintain proper spinal alignment and alleviate discomfort.
It ultimately depends on your individual needs and preferences. While some people may find relief from a hard mattress, others may prefer a softer surface for comfort. It's important to find a balance between support and comfort to promote good sleep and overall health.
Sleeping on a hard mattress that does not provide enough support for your body can potentially cause discomfort and pain. It's important to find a mattress that supports your body's natural posture and distributes weight evenly to prevent any potential harm.
The best way to determine if a hard mattress is right for you is to try it out for a few nights. If you consistently wake up feeling refreshed and without any discomfort or pain, then a hard mattress may be a good fit for you. However, if you experience discomfort or pain, it may be worth exploring other options.
