First apartments often start with a mattress on the floor as other priorities take precedence. Whether in a city apartment, student flat, or luxury high-rise, many delay buying a bed frame due to moving costs and rent. This setup has become an internet stereotype for bachelor apartments, viewed as either financial practicality or a rite of passage for young men. It’s funny when someone owns the latest TV, gaming console, laptop, and designer clothes but still sleeps on the floor. Though most eventually upgrade, the floor mattress remains a symbol of early independence. Be honest… how long did it take you to buy a bed frame after moving out?
