Bro if you wanna live like you’re camping in a tent fine but don’t expect people to like it. I mean not even a sheet? Nothing? How does he wash it? If you can’t even wash the top the layer why on earth should anyone want to sleep on it? At least with the Japanese futon, if you do it right, it can look nice and purposeful but even then you should have real sheets for it and it can be rolled up, unlike this thing. I know someone who does the futon thing and their place is actually pretty nice and purposeful, not cobbled together garbage.
Even brand new an Ikea Tarva frame just isn’t that expensive and it’s nice, solid wood. I replaced the legs with $8 of 2x2 from Home depot so it’s nice and tall for me since I’m tall and hate having to get UP out of bed.
The biggest reason, of course, is because it almost always comes with an overarching theme of disgusting living habits. It’s not great on its own but when it brings all its dirty-ass friends you’re in for a bad time.
Lots of assumptions here unless you're only talking about the guy in the comic.
How many assumptions am I making? Everyone I’ve known to sleep with a mattress on the floor is at least minorly gross, and I made exceptions for a properly used Japanese futon.
And as far as the guy in the comic is concerned it’s got that energy of those dudes who go on social media and proudly claim that it’s “normal” to shit their pants and have dirty skid-marked underwear. It’s not “minimalism” if it’s less of a choice and more a complete lack of ability.
