My Chinese grandparents can only sleep on these beds. They legit cannot sleep on mattresses. Traditional Chinese belief is that sleeping on hard surfaces is good for your back (keeps it straight) while soft mattresses make your back hunched. I am aware that western logic is the complete opposite.

"How do people have sex on this thing?!" I don't think I've laughed so hard to the point I actually snorted.

3:23 I like how they cover Leigh but the jacket says her name xDDDD

I sleep on my side. I can already feel my hip bones hurting just looking at that bed.

You ready for the worst bed ever? You've never slept on a bed like this before, I'm pretty sure!

LOL 'Anonymous Person' and then you see Leigh's name on her hoodie xD

Atleast you can balance drinks and food on those beds

I like how they make it Leigh seem anonymous, but her name is on her jacket. Good job, guys!

I sleep on a 6-inch memory foam mattress on top of a regular box-spring, because I need something that's soft with decent support and sleeping on that awful floor bed would ruin my shoulders.

oh gosh how I hated those when we visited our relatives in Vietnam. I just slept on the floor, because it was more comfortable...

wooden beds with either just a bamboo straw mat for cushion or else nothing is actually quite common in Viet Nam, although a lot of people have switched to mattresses to imitate the west. I think it's partially because of the heat, even during the rainy season, humidity and heat levels in Viet Nam tend to make you want to do everything in your power to keep anything insulating from sticking to your skin, and trapping sweat. Also depending on the wood used, it's actually pretty springy and not as uncomfortable as sleeping on the concrete floors of many city houses. Marble and Jade beds are lost on me though lol.

One thing you don't realize is that the entire time you are sleeping on a soft mattress, your body is working, it's always trying to balance itself. It's subtle and you don't realize how much work you are doing as you sleep until you have truly relaxed totally on a hard surface. Your body does not have to compensate on the ground, it just lets go into absolute relaxation. It tskes time to get there but it does actually happen.

It would be really evil if you told someone let's go jump on the bed and wait to see them body slam on it lol

Wait so no pillows no nothing? D:

Has anybody ever slept in the desert? It's one of the best feelings ever, the calm atmosphere is so relaxing under the stars.

Who has sex in a bed nowadays? Isn't that kind of old-school? Also, I'm from Romania, a part called Transylvania, and over here we all sleep in coffins. They are lined with padding and silk or velvet, so they are very comfortable. They are also pretty warm despite the dungeons (our sleeping quarters) being draughty. By the way, Martina and Simon, out of curiosity, what are your blood types?

3:08 Haha you guys did a terrible job everyone can still tell thats Soo Zee

When I lived in Vietnam my bed was almost like this, but with a 4 in thick foam mattress on top, it was really strange definitely but I ended up actually loving it. I remember my first night back in the U.S. and my own bed felt like jello or something, I couldn't understand how I'd never realized how ridiculously squishy it was!

You'll never truly know how it's a bed of nightmares until you work for a Korean moving company and have to carry those 400-lb stone slabs up to the third floor of a townhouse two or three times a week.

Honestly they're the best. First week sleeping on a hard surface is difficult, but my back problems went away after a month of sleeping on korean beds and the floor

My grandparents (Chinese) prefer those types of beds lol.. or at least they used to. Not sure about now.. Also, one of the main uses for it was in the summer. Before they had A/C, it'd be really hot at night. However, the mat was made out of bamboo and it didn't absorb heat, making it cool and cold.

This is the bed of my dreams. Seriously. After sleeping on beds with thick mattresses for 23 years, I realised I tended to gravitate towards the edges of mattresses. When I slept on mattresses on the floor, I would find myself on the edge of the mattress with part of my body on the floor. Weird, I know. Last year I realised I actually slept better on the floor. But my mom, who's Korean, insisted that the floor, which is marble, was cold in nature and therefore bad for the body. She argues that people in Korea can sleep on the floor because it's heated. Where I live, Singapore, the floor is never heated. So now I sleep on an ordinary wooden bed frame without a mattress. So, I COVET THAT BED. I don't know, maybe like Suzy I'm actually an old lady in the body of a 23-year old.

The super firm bed like that seems a little extreme but I kinda understand the draw as I sleep on a futon on my floor. I live in Alaska so its not exactly a popular style of bed (if they have a futon, usually people have it on a futon frame) but I love it! The firmness feels so nice to my back and its so nice to be able to fold up my bed and have such a versatile space. It took maybe a week or so for my back to get used to it but any other bed feels too soft now! FUTON FOR LIFE!

Woohoo! Spanish subtitles are now up, too! Thank you :D

I love how it says "anonymous" but Leigh's name is on her jacket

Vietnam has those too.

This is mainly a camping/away from home thing, but I've slept plenty on thin yoga-mat type mattresses. They were there just to insulate you from the ground or floor which tends to be cold here in Finland. It is SO MUCH more comfortable on dirt or moss than a floor though.

I used to sleep on one of those beds that is similar to what you are showing in this video. It was a antique expensive wooden bed that they carved decorating details to the sides of it. My grandparents love that bed because in the summer time, when it's all hot and humid (I'm from Vietnam btw), it's really cool to sleep on this type of bed. It doesn't make you sweat at all! Although in the winter time, my grandpa did put a mattress on top of it cause the one we have doesn't have a heating system. And yes, i believe they still have it at home, we no longer sleep on it but it is now used as a sitting mattress for my grandma as she prays every morning. You get used to it and honestly, it didn't hurt my back at all (as a child. Lol).

Live in Norway and we sleep on comfy and soft matresses ^^

Anonymous interview.... It says Leigh on her jacket

I can say that most people I know or not all have a bed from IKEA XD Dutch people are certainly addicted to IKEA. (Generally speaking of course, not all people)

In Vietnam, my grandparents had these hard wood beds. They are very polished and shiny and has a cooling feel against your skin. When I was little, I absolutely loved this because the heat in Vietnamese Summer can get up to 41C so it was a nice cooling sensation against my back when I sleep at night. Also my grandparents were very against mattresses, especially for younger children because it doesn't help with your posture.

I choked on air seeing Eatyourkimchi notification thinking this is the video with asap scince. Nice bed though, I like to sleep on the ground so... might not be that bad for me.

I slept on the floor with a thin mat for a few months when my back was really bad and the first couple of weeks I'd wake up with my tailbone kinda numb, but your body gets used to it and now sometimes when I'm sleeping in my normal bed I find myself wanting to go back to the floor, it's weird.

I had a teacher in 6th grade who was Navajo Native American. She said her parents would sleep on the hard dirt floor in their traditional house on the Navajo reservation in Arizona but she preferred a regular bed once she moved off the reservation to a city.

USA. Hubby and I just recently bought a Serta I-comfort bed. I LOVE it!!!

Simon and martina's matching shirts so cute lol

SOMEONE STOLE LEIGHS JACKET AND IDENTITY!

In Canada we sleep on freedom and happiness (and not the best economy)

I have back problems, so I need to have a very firm mattress. Anything soft, I wake up in horrible pain. I have slept on the floor when my back really gets bad, so I would be interested in trying this. However, I wouldn't spend $1,000 for it. I would just sleep on the floor instead. I currently sleep on a mattress with a box spring. The mattress is ultra firm with very minimal give.

So you can heat up the pressure sores you get from sleeping in that bed. Fantastic. lol

lol they blurred Leigh's face but she had her name on her jacket

I live in Australia and my parents sold those marble and mud beds, so I grew up sleeping on them. When I went to my friend's house for a sleep over (in Winter), I thought her bed was going to swallow me...I was drowning under her thick quilt and soft mattress. It's probably because I'm used to the hard material but I can't sleep properly on soft things anymore.

I actually grew up with these back in Korea. My mother has a horrible back issues and the heating really helps her to relax. And when moving to Toronto, she managed to find an importer who brings these into Canada (Yes, the CANADALAND). To be fair, the Korean culture has a lot to do historically with sleeping on the ground. The floor was heated during the winter times and that acted as the heater for a lot of those traditional houses - this system still exists for a lot of old houses.

You guys are so cute that it makes me fear for my non - existent love life

Thank you to gianccm for the English subs! YESSS!

I switched from a mattress to a wooden bed when I was in my early teens. I put a layer or two of blankets on top. It's really nice actually :)

I spent a few weeks in South Korea last year and I LOVED the beds there! It was basically my ideal combination of extremely firm mattress with fluffy, fluffy bed spreads and pillows everywhere. The mattresses I slept on which seemed the norm in the various hostels and AirBnb's I used were so wonderfully firm. Perhaps not as hard as the one in this video and not heated but they had no squish or give at all. I think they were spring mattresses but they could have been something else, I'm not really sure. I injured my back/shoulder a couple years ago and the one thing that is absolutely 100% guaranteed to make it hurt again is sleeping on a bed that is too soft. Memory foam is the WORST and guaranteed to make my shoulder ache for days. The Korean beds were perfect! No shoulder pain at all after the first couple nights sleeping on those mattresses. I want to get a new mattress now that I'm settled again in the States and having a hard time finding one like the ones I slept on in Korea. But if anyone knows where I can find one (affordably) please let me know!

I visited my family in China, and interestingly enough, they also seem to prefer somewhat firmer sleeping support. I've never seen any of them sleep on the floor, but it's generally held that the harder the mattress, the "better" the bed. Since I'm a "spoiled" American citizen that prefers cushiony fluffy cloud beds, it took a long time to get used to, but I have to say, once I got used to it, I can see how it does have its benefits. It's definitely much more supportive, and when I wake up in the morning, I feel a lot more... aligned. It's hard to explain. >.< But long story short, China also seems to support the concept of a floor bed.

Leigh wasn't anonymous you could see her name on the EYK Crew jacket. XD

We have these here in NYC! My whole family has slept on beds like this for a few years now. They're initially difficult to adjust to, but after a while you get used to em. And they're actually really good for your backs.

omg lolol simon had me cracking the hell up.....lord yes, i love me some super soft beds so i understood where he was coming from

I love big hard thick beds!

I'm surprised no one pointed out the fact that you can see martinas white undies at 2:44... No I wasn't looking there (nor would I want to), I just happened to see it trololol.

I lived in our Beijing apartment over the summer and the bed had a wooden frame with a very thin mattress (it was really just like two inches of padding), but I got used to the firmness so when I got home to the States and slept on my mattress, which is the most comfortable in the house, I almost died. It was like lying down on a marshmallow. I hated it for weeks before I got used to it again.

Everyone in my family over the age of 30 owns a marble bed. Sleepovers were the worst. But its pretty comfy after you cover them with 5 asian blankets. Particularly the ones with tigers or some kind of flower on them.

Lol @ Leigh's blurred face, but shown Leigh name tag on her hoodie!!!

Once i slept on the floor because reasons... I woke up in pain, my back felt like I didn't move for a week. Worst morning ever. Pretty sure I would hate this bed. I always sleep on a regular bed with a matress and a memory foam matress on top.

They actually have beds like these now available in Canada. Harder beds are actucally better for your back because it's flat and straight so it'll straighten out your back as well, mainly used by people who have bad backs. Soft matresses on the other hand molds with your body when you sleep so it doesn't provide the same support.

I lost it when you said , "You can break dance on this bed." 😂😂

In America we sleep on freedom

In lithuania beds are quite hard. In England they are really super soft which is killing my back. I would say is a good bed for everyone, bc its healthy fir your back and that would stright back.

Just like those hard bumpy hula hoops lol Also I DO want to see you guys play dominoes!

"an anonymous interview" LEIGH printed on sweatshirt xD

My body hurts just from looking at that thing.

HOW DO YOU HAVE SEX ON THE BED! -simon 2015

I have a pillow top mattress on a box spring. It's cushy and soft. That bed looks like my nightmare. I've slept on hard floors before and they hurt by hip so bad because I'm a side sleeper. I'd die sleeping on that thing. Also, if it gets cold, pile on a bunch of blankets and bury yourself in a warm cocoon like I do in the winter time. When it's really cold I have three comforters on my bed and just burrow under them like a rabbit. It's so warm and snugly.

As a Swede, i can safely say that we all sleep on huge mattresses (sometimes more than one mattress) and with super fluffy and warm comforters. More than one pillow is also common!

I sleep on my side. My shoulders and hips would hurt so much

How do you make this bed?

We used to sleep on a Japanese futon on the floor, but after months of saving, we bought a Tempur-pedic and it's wonderful! It's a thick memory foam mattress with cooling gel in it, so you don't get very hot or sweaty (we live in a swamp-like climate). It sits on a solid foundation, which sits on a metal frame on the floor, pretty much like every American bed I've ever seen?

Soft mattresses make my entire body hurt, oddly. I live in the States, but occasionally travel to Bangladesh to visit family. They've got the hard platform-style beds as well, but generally cover them with a thin mattress pad (very dense cotton padding, no more than 1"-2" thick). They're so uncomfortable at first, but after a day or two, I find I get better sleep on that than I do my softer mattress at home. I'm forced to sleep on my back, because anything else hurts, but my back feels so good until I start sleeping on my own cushy bed! Plus, it's very cool in sticky, humid, hot summers.

sweden has normal beds just like american beds

It's like a Klingon bed. It's good for your back...Kaplah!

I want one of these beds! I would need it a bit higher off the ground, but I really like this bed! When I get X-Rays on those hard metal tables.. THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE!

northern china has something called the "kang". it's a heated masonry structure that you sleep on. i'm guessing that's supposed to mimic something similar to it. i've slept on those as a kid, and they're very nice in cold winters.

Looks like PS2 graphics beds, like the one in Lara Croft's mansion. Flat.

I see London I see France I see someone's underpants! Hehe. Love you guys.

once you get used to sleeping on a flat surface, squishy beds are hell. This bed actually sounds amazing and I'm wondering if I can find it in the states in a twin size.

Lol you blurred her face, changed her voice, and said it was an anonymous interview yet we can clearly see her name on the jacket 😂😂 omaigod i love you guys lol

In my house in Sweden I always slept on the floor, I hate box spring matterases

I'm from Sweden so of course I hsve an Ikea bed

When I visited China as part of a University program, we stayed most of our visit in their dorms. They were nearly as hard as that bed, but they had like the thinnest mattress covering wooden planks. I didn't get one good night's sleep! I had never missed my own bed so much before!!!

In the Philippines we have these flat mats either made of dried bamboo leaves woven together to make the mat (traditional) or the one that's made of woven plastic material. They work opposite of those beds coz we need the flat mat against the cold floor or on top of a bamboo floor to make it comfy to sleep in a hot tropical night.

SIMON! MARTINA! WHAT DID YOU THINK OF SHINee's COMEBACK?! (I'm sorry but.. I'm so curious yeahhh~) xD

They have these at Hmart

I love how they blurred Leigh's face but not her name tag on her hoodie

I remember having a water bed in the guest room of our house when we were little. It's like the exact opposite of this and I'm pretty sure you could heat it up too.

i have a spinal cord injury and just the thought of lying on that bed makes the muscles in my back tighten in protest

that is not a bed but such a medical equipment. That stones are not a just stone but gem stones that have a energy xD you know Asian people eat only for their healthy,did for only for thier healthy. That stone bad is so expensive,sorry for my english, :> My parents present that to my grand parents for their long live :D

I'm Chinese and I actually grew up sleeping on a wooden slab with a thin padding on it. My parents eventually bought me a mattress, but it was still pretty hard. When I asked my parents why couldn't they buy me a softer mattress, they responded with "Sleeping on hard surfaces in good for your back and posture". I'm not sure if there's much truth or science behind this, but it would explain why even our family sofa is hard.

You guys are great! Love your videos, and everyone in your crew is wicked awesome. Congrats on the success. My comment: for a couple from Canada, you guys dont have much of an accent. Wuz up wit dat... As the kids say. Thanx!!!! 😄

Let's be honest. Underwear is just additional clothing. Wow, we saw more clothing! Woo! The fabric! The thread count!

Simon is so annoying now as a you-tuber, all the time in these new videos all he does is complain about how Korea doesn't have the same types of preferences as the U.S. I mean seriously its a different country, of course the preferences are going to be different, and for one to ridicule those ideas or preferences it just shows how ignorant people can be. So if you don't believe me, are these comments really necessary? :41, 1:02, 2:18, 2:30.2:44 (although i know its a joke and is meant to be funny, mostly all these new videos are just Simon screaming things like; WHY!?) Martina is awesome though

Oooh yea, my grandparents have these and I had to sleep on one when I went to visit them in China. I had put layers and layers of blankets on it since it was so uncomfortable! And according to my mom, sleeping on the ground is bad for you and will make you sick, but I'm not quite sure about the logic behind that.

My grandfather who grew up in the Swedish area in Finland said that sleeping on hard beds are good for your back. When I slept in their house in Sweden I had this really thin madrass. I was five years old. Next morning I couldn't move my body. My mum had to lift me up out of bed and it took several minutes before I could move.

Ok, so Eat Your Kimchi, I watch all your videos and have been following you for a while as a fellow Canadian and one thing I've noticed has been really prevalent in the last little while of your videos. Simon, you interrupt Martina A LOT. You need to slow your roll. It's rude and you're not respecting Martina and her opinions. You basically dominated this video and a lot of people would like to actually hear Martina's side of things. You also talk over her when she's finishing her thought. She'll be finishing up what she's saying and you'll barrel in with what you want to say. I'm sure you're not doing it maliciously and you guys make a great couple, but it's really starting to wear on the videos for me personally. I'm not even 100% sure you will see this, but I wanted to say that. Thanks!

Is it just me or does Simon always seem to talk over Martina? It really bugs me whenever I watch these videos. Like Martina saying more than one sentence is a victory.

That is hilarious! We live in the US and sleep on a normal mattress, but my husband likes to lay on the floor to watch t.v., and I'm like, WTH is wrong with you? We have two couches and a recliner right here!!" But he just likes it...

Cracked up at the interview segment. It is totally "anonymous"!!
