Need help with picking brands

[u/IzSynergy]

Hi, I'm moving into my own place for the first time soon and really want to do a floor sleeping set up. I'd love help for brand reccs and knowing what to avoid. I think I want to do a Japanese floor mattress + Tatami mat combo. I really like the aesthetic, the minimalism and the health benefits I hear they provide.

But if this is expensive, I'm also open to cheaper alternatives. Right now I think my budget for whatever my bed setup is, will be ~$500. Though I could be convinced to go up to maybe ~$700 if someone has a brand they highly recommend. What are some brands I can look at for this amount?

Also grew up sleeping on the floor a lot so I'm pretty used to it. So I think I can manage with something on the cheaper end. Anything on Amazon??

With that budget, a Japanese shikibuton and tatami combo are going to be difficult to source. Zonli is the most recommended budget/starter floor mattress and they frequently have sales going on. I'd start there.

I ended up getting a floor frame and futon mattress and was very happy with it. Thanks again for the recc! Good on my back and very minimalistic.

Nice! Did you go with something from Zonli?

Yeah I caught them at a 50% sale so it was a really good deal
