Is sleeping on a hard floor good or bad for a person's back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not good: Our body/back is not straight or hard so hard floor not good. Our body needs support during sleep and if you put a curved soft yet heavy body on blood, gravity will pull on it in directions you don't want and you wake up sore.
