Sleeping on a thin futon laid out on the floor (Japan / Korea). And riding a bike or e-bike everywhere (Netherlands), even though US cities and infrastructure are hostile to humans

oh man. im so the opposite. I got a higher bedframe so getting up and down is even easier.

a raised bed helps to keep pests off. whats the benefit of a ground bed?

Also better for bending over, standing beside, hanging off of and various other things... man I'd hate to just have a mat on the floor. How tragic.
