Chinese vs. Western Bed: Which One Is better?
Chinese and Western cultures are very
different in many terms. From medicine, cooking, working, greeting
people to the way people express thought and feelings through art,
music and painting. Even when it comes to sleeping, these two
cultures have different standards. For example, Chinese people have
for centuries been sleeping on wooden beds, also known as tatami.
Although today tatami beds are hard to
find, certain things have not changed. Chinese people still prefer to
sleep on a firm surface or better said, a firm mattress. And this
seems to offer numerous health benefits (no more back pain). On the
other hand, in the Western culture it seems like everything revolves
around comfort. Hence the soft and high mattresses. People from
Western cultures prefer to buy a mattress which has greater
volume and soft.
The question is, which is better -
Chinese or Western bed? Here are the advantages and disadvantages of
both types so you can decide which one is better for you.
