I finally got it, I cracked the code.
For the last nine nights I have slept on the floor and I have no intentions of going back. Even my apple watch agrees that the sleep I now get is as restful as on my bed.

The last time I seriously tried this three years ago I used a 6mm yoga mat and a sleeping bag. Now I am layering this 230x250cm blanket from IKEA, folded twice on the long side, on top of the yoga mat. Since the short side is still a bit longer than the mat, I let it overhang slightly and fold in the head side for some extra elevation. During the day I let both the blanket and yoga mat air out. As for sleeping positions, this works well on my back and on either side.

Finally I can rid myself of my most annoying possession, my bed.
This is a sequel to my second lifestyle post from 3 years ago.
