I notice if I do sit ups on the floor my lower back aches later on, and it's quite uncomfortable. I tried doing them on my bed, which is very firm, and I found that I can do almost twice as many and I have no pain. Does doing them on this kind of surface weaken the exercise, or can I do them anywhere?

Your lower back and abs work together as opposite muscles, so the pain in your lower back might be due to over working the front side, whiile not paying enough attention to your lower back. Also doing them on the bed greatly decreases the workout effectiveness. The bed provides a curve and allows you to do them much easier. I would advice doing some lower back exercises, as well as continueing the crunches.

ab exercises without a weight tho = GARBAGE for the development of them. its like trying to give your biceps bulk and shape by doing sets with a weightless barbell.
