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.

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