As H&G's resident sleep writer, I'm often asked: 'should you put a mattress on the floor?' My answer varies from sleeper to sleeper and depends on your style preferences and your sleep needs, as well as your budget constraints.
Putting a mattress directly on the floor can create a laid-back, low-profile look that works well in smaller bedrooms. It's also a good option for buyers on a budget and sleepers in need of extra support. Still, putting a mattress directly on the floor isn't the most hygienic way to sleep, and you'll need to make some changes to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew.
