futons are evil. they are, i am quite sure, an invention purely to induce profound sleep deprivation, thus leading to hallucinations, out of body experiences and ultimate enlightenment (possibly)
i actually don't mind futons so much, i sleep on an utterly divine one and prefer hard mattresses (however you spell them). what is killing are the wooden slats underneath because the footon is so think you can feel every last damn one of them digging savagely into bodies. Possibly they were invented by the Japanese to reduce the temptation of dawdling in bed before going off to work.
ah...well then all you need is a nice new mattress, no?
i find that they put me in a completely weird position. i'm so used to curling into a ball in the centre of a nice soft mattress that anything which straightens my spine out is just too awkward!
I once lived quite comfortably in an efficiency (The one room apartment that has a closet and something like a bathroom). I loved it. I loved the effieciency, like I love the old VW Beetles. When a girl decided, "Hey, there's someone to spend the night with" they got to do it huddled on my little efficient twin bed/couch. Most of them loved the closeness it required and the extra fluff I put over the mattress.

Feet hanging. I've tall enough and stretch out enough that it feels weird now when if they don't hang off. I've also gotten used to my 1 yr old giving up her twin bed in the middle of the night to lay sideways in my full sized bed, feet to my ribs (kicking mind you) giving me just a sliver to lay diagnolly. She's just like her mother!

I don't mind the closeness of sleeping with someone in small spaces, it would just be nice to combine the closeness with a comfortable mattress ;)
And I'm finding the word efficiency very endearing - I think we call those types of living spaces pisstakes studios.
Was your efficient twin bed/couch long enough or did your feet hang over the edge?
