Hi, BIFL-ers. Need some advice. Would you buy a Japanese futon (the ones where you lay a tatami mat, then put the futon padding on top) or get a mattress? Which would you get and why? What brand would you recommend? I'm conflicted because I've grown up sleeping only on mattresses and have never tried a Japanese futon, but I know I will be moving places a lot and Japanese futons just offer a lot of portability. I would also want to buy for life because looking at the typical materials for bedding just aren't great for the planet at the end of its life cycle. Thanks!
