Several people have said this already, but it bears repeating: get a bed frame. I rocked the mattress on the floor for like 15 years before I finally got a proper bed frame and it really does make a difference in both the look of the room and your own mental well being. I got an inexpensive foam mattress with it’s own built in “box spring” layer so I didn’t have to get a separate box spring or anything. It’s the kind they deliver right to your house rolled up in a box!
For me it was kind of like saying to myself “hey, you are the most valuable thing in this room so you don’t belong on the floor”.
Beds aren’t for everyone. I sleep on a mattress on the floor and have done for about eight years. It’s so convenient having everything in reach (rather than cramming things on to a small bedside table which just takes up space) and I prefer to be on the floor anyway. I also sit on the floor to read and eat.
For some people, underneath the mattress gets wet, mouldy or gross. It’s worth checking every couple of weeks if you sleep on the floor, but it’s never happened to me throughout multiple different houses. Maybe my mattress is magic :)
