Sleeping on mattress

Sleeping on wood is a perfect idea for the protection of backbone though it's not much comfy
If you wish to buy one mattress don't go for a cheap one which is not comfy for your back and too hot. Some company provides therapeutic mattresses. Don't know they keep up a good standard when manufacture it!

Get a good quality mattress and an air con

Vietnamese love air cond but hate mattress until they tried it.

A military cot and a 1.5-hp A/C unit did it for me.

You forgot the 5kw to run the A/C unit.

does anyone sleep naked?

I'm thinking a bowl of ice under a fan. At least when I wake up I have water to wash my face with.

My granny sleeps naked. I think...I saw her. I have bad luck with walking in on old naked people. She also sleeps on a large thick wooden table. She claims that it helps her back.

나도. Na Doh

We do that in the summer season naked near a big bowl of ice under a fan (actually sleep directly on the ceramic/cement titles is much better than a mattress when it's 39C degree ); but we do not use that water to wash face after waking up

What do you sleep on?

My fiance sleeps on a hard piece of wood or something with some thin hard rack sheet. Don't know what exactly it's called.

But since we'll be moving to a new house with no furnitures I wanted to buy a mattress not only for my comfort but for her's as well.

She told me sleeping on a mattress is too hot. So is there any way to make it cool or not hot? Or is there an alternative option to sleeping on a mattress?

I have a mattress made of some sort of white fibrous stuff, it is fairly firm, and sits inside a cover, ( 3 pieces you can fold up,  they make them any size you want and are reasonably priced ), it doesn't get hot, unlike my wife's mattress, not sure what it's made of.

Charma, Han Gol Gunin mot am-ni-da. (I don't speak Korean?) But, 'Na-Do'. Is that 'naked'? I had a Hangul dictionary and a pocket booklet of Korean words and phrases similar to Lonely Planet, but gave it to the Vienamese-American teenaged daughter of a friend who has a crush on a Korean-American boy in her class.

It's Sunday in Tampa, which means cricket games will taking place in certain parks among the South-Asian community teams.

Yeah.  That is why, many times, I ended up cooling off by the Mekong River.

Wild_1, Don't you mean you cool off in the Bassac River?

If you add 3 cm of good quality foam rubber on top of the white fibrous mattress mentioned above (I've been told those come from Korea) you'll end up with a really comfortable sleeping surface.  I've been using that combo in Da Nang for several years and sleeping well with just an electric fan.
