Why don't Japanese sleep in bed? Aren't they afraid of being dirty?

It's not that Japanese people don't sleep in beds. It's just that people there generally sleep on the floor. Many modern Japanese young people also began to sleep in bed. After all, tatami is too troublesome.

Because of Japan's special geographical position, it can be regarded as being in or including this zone on the earth, so the seismic grade of Japanese houses is very high, which is also very high in the world. If they sleep in bed, once they feel the earthquake, they may not be able to feel it in time.

But if you sleep on the ground, it's different. You can feel it when the earthquake happens, which helps you escape. This is one reason why they keep the habit of sleeping on the ground.

Let's talk about their culture. Only emperors, big names and nobles can sleep in beds, which is a thing of the past, but it still has some influence on Japanese bed culture.

Moreover, Japan's original land area is very small, and it is impossible for every household to build a large area, so tatami has the upper hand. This kind of tatami is light and compact in design and has various functions. People can not only sit on it to drink tea and rest, but also serve as storage when not in use. When guests go home, they can also meet the needs of many people at the same time.

And there are more and more Japanese sleeping in bed recently. After all, the bed is easy to tidy and clean. If the use area of the house at home is enough, they also find it more convenient to put a bed than to lick tatami all day. However, there are still some old-fashioned Japanese who feel that only sleeping on tatami can make them feel at ease.

Where to sleep is actually a habit or preference of people. Let's learn more about the culture different from our country and know that there is such a thing.
