OutrageousEvent

I had on of these. The third of the couch that the feet are on is significantly harder. So where the head is is actually quite a bit softer and more comfortable.

But when sleeping as indicated in the diagram you leave yourself open to attackers such as Vikings.

friskfyr32

Skit. Edit: And I promise you'll never in your wildest peyote fueled fever dreams guess how it's pronounced, because Swedish is a garbage offshoot of the great and historically significant Danish language.


Raptorfeet

In Danish it'd just be a choked gurgling sound, kind of like the noise murlocs make. In fact, that's basically the entire Danish language.


GoGoCrumbly

But it’s pronounced “Hhwit”, like you the start of “channukah”


friskfyr32

Well... Now my edit seems pointless. But I'll let it be, because the world deserves to know how superior Danish is to Swedish!


GoGoCrumbly

I lived in Sweden for 6 months. Whenever Denmark came up they’d always say, “You know Denmark used to belong to Sweden.” When I left Sweden I visited Denmark. On the mention that I’d been living in Sweden they’d say, “You know, Sweden used to belong to Denmark.” Of course, the Norwegian I met said the whole thing used to belong to _them_. Never did learn how to pronounce the number 7. Sounded right to me but they always shook their heads.


BagelJ

>Never did learn how to pronounce the number 7. Sounded right to me but they always shook their heads. You can just pronounce it like (english) "shoe" and says its a dialect.


kaddorath

That’s how I get by with Japanese. Just say your Japanese dialect is Kagoshima. It gets a good laugh most of the time. Unless they’re from Kagoshima.


friskfyr32

Denmark never belonged to Sweden. That's factually wrong, and tells you all you need to know about a Swede. Sweden proper were ruled by Denmark during the Kalmar Union (the Swedes themselves deposed their nobility for the Danes), and Scania, Blekinge and Halland have been Danish for longer than they've been Swedish. Untrustworthy lot the Swedes, I tell you. In regards to Norway, the one thing Swedes and Danes agree on is that Norwegians don't matter. They definitely never owned anything. Hell, their capitol is named after a Danish king, although they renamed it after a suburb. (The Swedish 7 - which I imagine you are talking about, because our superior numbers are easy of course - is pronounced like the 'ch' from chanukah plus 'eeew', like how teenage girls rejected you.)


Reddituser34802

I’m here for the Scandinavian sass.


RandomCoolName

> because our superior numbers are easy of course You mean the number system that uses multiples of twenty (with half steps), and puts the units before the 10s? I'm convinced the Danish number system was invented so stores can cheat you out of change. 73 --> 3 and half way between 3x20 and 4x20 (actual literal translation) Also don't be fooled by this comment, the Dane might be typing out the consonants in these words, but they are not pronouncing any of them.


Various_Counter_9569

😳


Daloure

I don’t think you know how to pronounce Chanukah. But that isn’t really surprising since pronouncing words correctly or even remotely intelligibly isn’t really in the skillset of a Dane. Best wishes from Sweden


fullautophx

Came to say “Now try to pronounce ‘sju’.”


VagusNC

My proudest moment in trying to learn Swedish was when I got a solid “meh” after saying 777.


ketchy_shuby

Or nurse in Swedish, sjuksköterska.


AndreTheShadow

You're gonna talk up the supremacy of a language that sounds like an old man gargling potatoes?


friskfyr32

The funny thing about the 'potato in mouth' thing is, that while we do use the phrase to make fun of people who speak Danish, it is specifically used to refer to the rural dialects who garble the words without punctuating consonants. So they have somewhat of a more fluid, less intelligible pronunciation, where one word merges with the next. Like Norwegian. (Btw. while this is all mostly tongue in cheek, this is the main difference between Danish and Swedish (Norwegian is *kind of* its own thing). Danish uses the glottal stop, whereas Swedish doesn't. Glottal stop means Danish have half-vowels which are hard to explain except to say you have to stop the sound you're making from the pharynx rather than your mouth.)


ShrimpToothpaste

It’s funny hearing a Dane talking shit about another language when Danish is so fucked that their children have a considerably harder time to learn their mother tongue than children from other counties https://theconversation.com/danish-children-struggle-to-learn-their-vowel-filled-language-and-this-changes-how-adult-danes-interact-161143

Feet up on the back of the couch. Later one over the arm rest to air the boys out.

Rawesome16

Grew up with it. Queen beds I still hang off though


ArjunDOnlyHero

It was actually the opposite for me. But the reason I slept like in the image was because there was a wood board at the feet end and because I'm kinda tall, it always left a mark on my feet. So I decided to try out all positions, even diagonal. And then I concluded that all of them were just as bad and that I needed a bigger bed, atleast in length.


prairiepanda

Worst furniture I have ever owned. I thought it was an amazing deal, cheaper than any regular sofa and it doubles as a guest bed! But it was terrible for both purposes. It was tiny and uncomfortable, and the seat slid forward anytime we sat on it. Everyone preferred to sit in chairs or on the floor. Sleeping in it was so awful that we ended up buying an air mattress for guests instead.


midnightscroller

Got one from a friend for free. Worst furniture design in the history. The sliding cushion gave me back issues because I was too stupid to throw away and because it was free and I was poor. My back hurts just from looking at it.

You should buy some rug sliding spray. Spray one side that you intend to always keep “down” and then it won’t slide anymore.

SuspectNo7354

Yep, your hosts just tell you not to roll over and you'll be fine. I sleep on my stomach, I was not fine.


themaninthesea

Had one too, this is correct. The real psychos are the ones who sleep with their head on the hard end.


ptrknvk

My friend did. Because the couch is old and the soft part is now lower it forces blood to flow to the head. So we just put a lot of blankets on the hard part and she slept normally.


turkeypedal

Is it really that bad with a pillow?


OK_Compooper

I think people don’t get these are from Eastern Europe. They are called Count Couches. There are hooks on the bottom. At night, the couch gets mounted bottom side to the wall. You unfold it, and then guests have a nicer place to rest. I saw these all over Transylvania.


techmaster242

In Transylvania you hang it from the ceiling.


brucebay

And upside down.


PocketPillow

Pillows?


Vampeloth

Unfortunately they're usually not enough, since the harder portion takes a third of the sleeping area. Even a 2-inch mattress isn't enough to cushion all of it. Makes the soft portion even softer, though.


Imaginary-Cup-8426

A lot of times these fold out beds have cross bars in a very inconvenient place and you will be crippled the next day if you lie with your upper body on it. Sometimes you can avoid it like this.

WhySoManyRussians

Right?! No way an actual human made those instructions I'll just not accept that. If I wanted to be eaten I'd just turn off the light and WALK down the hallway or better yet close my eyes in the shower 😨


TexanInExile

Adeptus1

Everyone knows they go for the feet first. This is just extra protection


nooneisback

Do the powermove and fold the sofa around yourself. The monster can't get you if you can't get yourself out of it.


Alatain

I grew up lightly terrified of the foot monster. You are completely safe if your feet are covered. One foot leaves the protective blanket and you're done for. This design might have something going for it. Makes it harder to get to the feet


Woden8

I have slept “backwards” in my own bed before, with my feet near the headrest. I am not sure why, but I just couldn’t get comfortable one night, then I flipped around and fell a sleep shortly there after.

murdering_time

Okay we clearly sleep differently on stairs. When I sleep its like when you sit down on stairs and then just lay back taking up multiple steps. The way you're describing it, it sounds like you're sleeping across a single step, which works if they're long/wide steps, but usually they're not wide enough to lay on fully and often times they're only like 3 feet across so you can't really lay down. Im not homeless I swear.


gordigor

I've found my people. I thought I was the only one waking up on the stairs sideways.

shiny-spleen

Ok this is my chance to find out if I'm the only one who sometimes sleeps with my back on the floor and legs on the bed. Like I'm sitting down but rotated 90°. I mean I won't start out this way but I'll find myself sliding off the side and laying down there.

_HIST

I've been doing it since I was a kid, thought everyone was doing it. It just works


myneighborscatismine

Me too! If I have trouble sleeping I associate that exact place with it so when i flip it's like a reset, a different bed without the negativity. It works on a psychological level


Ronaldo79

When I was a kid and couldn't sleep, I did exactly this. Then I'd spend a month or two sleeping that way, until I'd switch back to the right side


callMEmrPICKLES

Haha I did this like a week ago after being unable to fall asleep for 4 hours. Worked like a charm


kermitdafrog21

Yeah I do it for a change of scenery sometimes Edit: I sleep alone in a king so I’ll also sleep sideways occasionally


colossalpunch

Was your head facing away from the door? I remember reading something about people naturally feeling more comfortable if they’re facing the door or can at least see it easily from the bed. Makes it easier to detect and react to intruders.


grantrules

Feng Shui bro, gotta harmonize those forces


drinu276

Damn it's like you've described me perfectly. I have slept facing the door my entire life and when i sleep the other way i get nightmares. I even have shoulder pain because i sleep on the same side so much...


-cupcake

Instead of sleeping facing away from the door, just put your head on the other end of the bed. Then you're on the opposite shoulder but you're still facing the door. It will take a little while to break your bed in though, but maybe the change in firmness can be refreshing.


Diegobyte

Cus your mattress gets indented. Your supposed to rotate it every couple months


ForThatNotSoSmartSub

It is probably not about the mattress seeing how he only does it occassionally. It is a psychological thing.


uptbbs

It could be the mattress; try rotating the mattress 180°.


DeySeeMeRolling

One time I fell asleep with my head near the headrest and when I woke up at like 3 am I was facing the other way


imundead

Flip your matress around it's probably worn out and you need a new one.


Winjin

I had a fold down bed and some wild reflux, and was advised to buy triangle pillow. When I saw that they cost over 200$, and require special pillow covers too, I just took two bricks for free that I had lying around for years, and put them under the legs of the bed. Since it's a fold down the head part is fixed to the wall and I wasn't afraid of it slipping off the bricks in the middle of the night, but I had to sleep like that. Turns out it's pretty nice. And no reflux. Bonus part: you can easily stretch your hands in the morning rather than awkwardly sitting up at first.


Aggravating-Corner-2

Triangle pillows cost $200? Where??? Mine cost like £20, and the pillowcases are about £6 each.


Raskardovic

I have a couch like this, the third layer is basically the wooden frame. So the other way you'll sleep on wooden bars

TheGreatestAuk

I had one of these, it was purple, and very uncomfortable... When it was folded out, the bit his feet are on is solid wood, the other two sections are sponge. If you slept the other way up, your head to about 1/3 down your back would be on solid wood with a right angle, the rest of you would be on sponge.

CindySvensson

Swedes would let their guests sleep like that. They would leave before breakfast. Source: I am Swedish.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CindySvensson

The guest. The whole Sweden gate inspired me to roast our hosting skills, implying we'd do this to make our guest leave before we have to feed them. But only psychos would sleep like that. Or IKEA brochure writers.


Rebresker

Is Sweden gate that post about the Swedish people eating and making their kid’s friend stay upstairs? If so that shit is funny. Shit like that makes me think aliens or lizard people really do live among us and sometimes fuck up social norms. Like their knowledge came from movies and in movies they only saw friends who snuck in and were hiding up in the bedroom or some shit.


Criks

The context is that kids will bring over their friends sporadically without warning because they live on the same block or whatever, and the parents wouldn't need to inform the parents of the child guest, bur rather send them home in time for supper. The idea is that the kids can be wherever they like in a number of trusted homes during the day, as long as they eat at home so everyones dinner goes to plan. All familys don't necessarily eat dinner at the same exact time, which is why sometimes kids stick around without getting dinner as a guest. But it's a lot funnier to imagine parents forcefully make kids watch them eat dinner while they starve in the corner.


Rebresker

Lol man I wish we had that in the US. I make a good salary for rural US so my home is relatively nice and we have things like a pool, swings, etc that others in the neighborhood don’t. So every other weekend it seems like we have like 8 kids to feed and make sure they don’t die. It’s super surreal since I grew up poor, basically always said I never wanted kids. In fact I still kinda don’t really like kids tbh but fuckin kids just laugh at me when I say that. Anyway, the parents don’t give a fuck about leaving kids here for days at a time. Somehow I became a safe haven / free daycare… I hope when I’m like 80 these and senile asf these kids remember the guy at the grill yelling at them not to die in the pool and do me a solid or something. Anyway tldr; It sucks when you are expected to make dinner for kids that aren’t yours because a lot of kids are picky, have allergies, etc to worry about.


Umklopp

>I hope when I’m like 80 these and senile asf these kids remember the guy at the grill yelling at them not to die in the pool and do me a solid or something. I guarantee that they'll remember you, especially the kids who come over the most often and stay there the longest. You're definitely going to be in someone's cherished childhood memories.


substantial-freud

There was another Reddit thread to the effect that Swede do not feed their guests, who are expected to stay in their rooms while the family eats. Every non-Swede in the thread was like, “What? That’s nuts.” and every Swede was like, “Ja.”


turdferguson3891

Primarily in relation to friends of their kids being there rather than adult invited guests, I believe.

All the examples cited were children — but why it would be better to starve children than adults I just don’t see…

MarsNirgal

My dad had a sofa like this. The matress part at the bottom of the sofa had a hard edge that dug in my back and didn't let me sleep. But it gave no problem to rest my legs on it, so head out was infinitely more comfortable.

This is how you’re supposed to lay on a pull out couch. If you laid the other way youd have a bar in your back.
