CocoShield Tatami Mat

I slept for almost 4 years on a 4 inch foam mattress topper years ago and have been in a queen regular bed since March or April 2020. I loved floor sleeping, and since I have spine issues and a constant headache from neck damage...along with severe post menopausal insomnia, that nothing has helped, I thought it's worth trying floor sleeping again...this time on a real shikibuton and tatami mats vs. a Walmart foam mattress topper. You cannot beat Zonli's prices and the shikibuton and tatami mats are shockingly great quality for what I paid. I'm very happy with them so far. As you'll see in my pictures, some of my cats love them too. Ha! Now, I am kind of wishing I opted for a 4 inch thick shikibuton, but it's more authentically Japanese to have 2.5 - 3 inch thick ones. I'm obsessed with Japan. :-) I have doubled the full-size shikibuton in half and doubled up on the tatami mats a couple of times (see picture) to see if that would be better, but, nope. I actually prefer the thinner option. That being said, I am having an issue in that I'm mostly a side sleeper and that isn't as comfortable on a thin futon. When I'm on my back or stomach, it's totally fine...actually better than my queen regular bed. It does seem to be causing me to sleep a bit more but it's too soon to know if it'll help my chronic pain. I do love that it's so mobile and I can use it while folded in half inside my Honda Fit to car camp. :-)
