Sleeping on a mattress is not only bad for your body from a structural perspective, but gives your mind and body unreasonable comfort expectations, meaning you struggle to get up and feel increased discomfort in every day life. You have been raised to be a feeble modern beta male who craves the comfort of his pillow top mattress.
Pillow tops are the ultimate betas who play into the hands of expensive mattress companies. Pillow tops actually flatten out in the parts of the mattress you sleep on most, and exacerbate sagging because the stuffing gets flattened and pushed around the same way as regular pillow stuffing. This ****s your back up while the bedding industry pockets your money.
Pros of sleeping on the floor
-improved circulation
-improved posture
-eliminates back pain for many people
-cooler temp.
-no space limitations
-no noisy bed frames creaking and squeaking (great during sex)
-can sleep anywhere
-easier to get out of bed
-sex without the mattress bouncing up and down with every thrust
-less tossing and turning
Cons
-women may complain (no worries for me because i sleep on the floor next to a bed - they can have the bed and i can have my sleep without them stealing my blanket)
-i wake up with a bug crawling on me about 2 to 3 times as often as before (only betas are afraid of bugs)
-uncomfortable for the first week
-some people think your odd
-1 or 2 minutes of discomfort each night as your back gets used to being straight after being hunched in a chair all day
http://paleoalltheway.com/sleepergonomics/A mattress in any true sense of the word causes the hips to sink in and the lower back to collapse, which interrupts natural alignment. Ironically, this is the same effect that chair sitting has on the body. When the back collapses in on itself, whether sitting or lying down, the lungs cannot hold as much oxygen and breathing is immediately hampered. When the body does not get its optimal amount of oxygen, the parasympathetic nervous system which induces relaxation is impeded. When breathing is shallow, the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol are overproduced–which keeps the body from fully relaxing. Cush is not really cush. Paradoxical yes, but according to this paradigm, resistance is cush.
The viewpoint of followers of the New Ergonomics is that chair sitting causes ‘front loading’ of the body (see Challenges to Natural Sitting). Since the muscles are tighter in front, the body feels better hunched over to some degree. Likewise, sleeping on a modern mattress causes slumping. Then when we lay down on a firm surface, it stretches the tight muscles–which feels uncomfortable. Therefore, a soft bed is necessary to maintain the out-of-alignment position. It may feel better and even help some people sleep better, because they aren’t being distracted by the body’s attempt to stretch and realign itself. But without the feedback a hard surface offers, deeper problems develop and we don’t reach our full potential.

It's true - after hunching at a computer all day, lay on the floor for 5 minutes, you feel that pain? it's your back saying "wtf is this straightness, argghh"
Advice: You do need a soft layer of some kind underneath you, whether its a yoga mat or a foam mattress topper. If you don't have carpet with underlay then you may need more, sleeping directly on top of a rock hard surface is a bit much, you will need a yoga mat or something or your hips will get too sore.
