I had a nursing friend of mine do this when she went to bed at night. We used to stay at her place often years ago. She'd reserve us a room in her house, nice place, great bed, very, very comfortable. Then she'd go to her bedroom, get ready for bed, night gown, wash up .... then go to the living room, lie down on the floor in the most uncomfortable posture and go to sleep for an hour or two, change positions, do it again and again. The living room had more open space for her to sprawl around in all kinds of positions.
She had damaged her spine and had a herniated disk which caused her terrible problems .... it was neither serious enough to be treated with surgery nor healthy enough for her to feel comfortable any more. She had tried water beds, posturepedic beds, memory foams, pillows, hanging platforms, various drugs and nothing worked .... except for lying on a flat hard floor for a few hours.
The first few time I saw her when I got up in the night to go to the bathroom, I saw here like this and thought something terrible had happened.
water beds... ouch, bad choice for a fucked up back.
So the japanese stile? Should add some cloth for hygiene and against cold.
