Just to try and make this hollow thread more interesting:
I hate all beds and all they stand for. I think people that repeatedly use beds for any non-activity are in need of help. Poida, your lack of self-respect is alarming. Don't get me wrong, I think just about everyone's spent a night in a hammock once or twice, or hell, maybe even a cot, depending on what kind of friends you hung out with in school.
However I never figured you for a bed-user. I hope your problem hasn't yet gone as far as to where you'd think about trying designer beds, like waterbeds or vibrating beds.
I only say this as a terribly concerned friend. It seemed like only yesterday when you mentioned, in another thread, that you started using reclining chairs to take "cat naps". I thought it was just a phase you were going through until I found out from other concerened members that Lay-Z-boy chairs weren't satisfying your need for "shut-eye" anymore.
Just last week, you were boasting, in yet another thread, that you were sprawling out on couches. I pleaded with you to check yourself in to a clinic, and that couches were only a "gateway pallet" to softer bedding. Some people get stuck in the intermediate novelty beds like Murphy beds or Futons, and some desparate people go straight to Queens and Kings. I've seen it happen before, and I can't bare to lose another friend.
Please, let me help you defeat this affliction that'll inevitably lead to "the big sleep".
Sincerely,

I dunno...but it sounds like you're on the road to danger. But then again, that's your middle name, isn't it, Naiad.
Why? I thought the bed was the safest place to be. It makes a highly convenient SambaMat. 
ha ha ha ha ha.
Whenever my lady-friends complain that I don't ever dance with them, I tell them in full confidence, "Of course I can dance! In fact, I can do the SAMBA in my sleep!"

Sinky, there was a time when I would have agreed with you and in fact contemplated shortening the time that I spend in bed to prolong my awakened life. But I found out that when you sleep, your not really asleep, your body is rejuvinating. There is a major transport business going on in your body, moving oxygen and nutrients out to the cells and with the right kind of activities, rebuilds your body better than it was the day before.
For example. if you had seen my yesterday, I would look a lot better today and tomorrow I'll probably be having the "big sleep" because I am closer to the big sleep than you think I am.
Anyway just for the record, my wife and I tried a fold up camping bed, that had a blow up mattress. Half way through the night it deflated.
I had a girlfriend once that had a waterbed. Not to keen on those, making love between the tsunamis was a bit too much to take.
Rented a flat with a futon but in those days we called them divans.
I find that people who don't sleep much at night, don't do much during the day. So quality is much better than quantity.
Are 2 hours spearfishing better than watching 10 hours of TV? You wont need much sleep to repair your body from watching 10 hours of TV.
Oh ***** it's time for bed again.
Off to noddy land.

I'm gonna have to agree with the Sander on this one. I'm pretty sure futons developed from some sort of psychological, sleep-deprivation torture methods.
Infomercial:
"What if I told you that you could have a back-ringing sofa AND a bed that'd keep a hibernating bear tossing and turning all winter?"
"An uncomfortable couch and an unbearable bed? But I don't have room for both worthless pieces of furniture in my 300 square foot apartment!"
"What if I told you that this wearisome sofa and grievous bed were, in fact, the same. twisted. device."
"WOW! I haven't even seen the thing and my back already HURTS!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm here to introduce to you....thuuuh FUTON !"
(mindless audience applause)
"That's right, folks...Say goodbye to the days of those mildly uncomfortable spring-bed sofa-sleepers...and say hello to excrutiating wood slats underneath a canvas-upholstered bag of cement mix!"
(mindless audience applause)
"Now hold on, here! How much will this cost me? I just paid rent, bills, car payment, utilities, and $150 on ramen noodles. I don't have the money to be spending on some crazy contraption."
"If you bought this in a furniture store, you might be expected to pay...what...4, 5, 6 hundred dollars?"
"I dunno. I've never seen one of these things in any self-respecting furniture store."
"You're absolutely right! Nobody carries these dreadful things but specialty FUTON stores........and IKEA. That's why we're practically giving them away for $300 or more. That's only 5 or 6 times its worth!"
"Wow, I can almost feel bags under my eyes and premature grey hair developing just thinking about the hours of sleep I'll have lost!
"And it goes with everything in your apartment, provided that your T.V.'s on cinderblocks and you eat off of a discarded, plywood optic cable spool dining table. It makes a perfect addition to your old high school wood shop bong, and the precariously tilted bookshelves you never finished assembling!"
"Who needs sleep, anyway?!"
(mindless audience applause)

hahahah rofl rofl those slats... some very hard memories of those... almost left an imprint in an unwanted place once! rofl
I don't WANNA KNOW!.....well.....that's a flat-out lie.
ha ha ha ha.
I look back at all the hours of my life I've wasted....watching Perry Mason reruns 'til 4:00 in the morning on that miserable piece of shiyte. I'm not a very finicky sleeper, either. I was the only one who could go immediately to sleep on camp bunkbeds...you know, the ones that looked like a bed, but were really stretched out to the point that they were just glorified, metal hammocks. I think the trick is to switch from your back to your stomach a lot...that way you don't get bent in one position all night.
My cousin's futon was 10 times worse than mine. I never understood how a padded matress could actually be more firm than a carpeted floor. Whenever a big group would get too drunk to find our cars, and we'd all crash at his place (small pad, too), they all would make fun of me calling dibs on the floor instead of the chair or futon. They would soon learn that a rolled up jacket under one's head and a towel blanket was a lot better than sleeping on the "Midnight Marauder"...our less-than-affectionate name for the damned thing.

Sheesh...Sinky, I must be a lousy carpenter, put off by the futon prices here in Spain I made my own (including the mattress, now long replaced due to age) and am able to sleep like a baby on it. I think it cost me around 50 dollars.
Just thinking of all those sleepless nights I've been missing out on makes me sad... :waterwork :waterwork :waterwork

Well, I'm no carpenter...and I'm pretty sure the people working in the futon factory weren't, either. ha ha ha.
I'll send you $50 Euro, and you can make me one!

No, seriously, Adrian. I looked at the brochure and you've seem to come up with the right combination of materials that, for once, would make a comfy futon mattress.
However, I do not condone your unnecessary use of Methuselah trees for wood slats. That's a little excessive, don't you think?
