For about a month now I’ve been sleeping on the floor in my apartment. I couldn’t justify buying a bed that I would only use for a year, so I didn’t. I bought a bed roll instead. The only problem is that no one really knows what a bed roll is, and very few places sell them. The majority of places that carry bed rolls are selling them for outdoor use. I don’t need my bed roll to be waterproof, just comfy. The one I found was at Bed Bath & Beyond’s website. I was going to drop in and buy one, but I called first to see if it was in stock. When I got through to the bedding department, I asked and he replied “What’s a bed roll?”
One thing I’ve noticed about sleeping on the floor is that I remember many more details about more dreams. Another thing I’ve noticed is that it isn’t all that uncomfortable.
So on to the bed roll. A bed roll is like a comforter, except firmer and the approximate size of a mattress. It costs a lot less than a mattress, and can be moved around a lot easier than a mattress can. I may fold mine up during the day to reclaim that floor space. Last night was the first night I spent on it, and its really nice. And cost under $100. I’m pretty damn happy with it.
Dude. I think a bedroll is what a random girl in Ashland gave to me, based on this description. I agree that it provides more than ample comfort. And the portability and foldability are great qualities.

Interesting. Maybe I should try that. I’ve had recurring dreams that I cannot completely recall when I wake up. But everytime I dream it, I know that I’ve had the dream before.
