Lol I know! Plus you reclaim so much space in a small hovel if you can take down your hammock every morning…
Honestly we still do this… japanese futons are the same parallel. We have a permanent bed in western bedrooms where the Japanese temporarily set theirs out and put it away in the morning. I could fit so much more stuff if i did that…
The traditional reason most people do not sleep on the floor is to be suspended above the rats & cockroaches that come out at night. And in the winter, bed warming devices would be placed under the bed.

Sleeping on a futon on a tatami floor is really comfy, too. I find it great for my back (oddly enough).

Can’t you store stuff under your bed though? We have several boxes under ours.
I mean i guess I could but I mostly store cats in zoomie mode under there so I’ve never done that.
