Anyone slept on those stone beds in Korea?

e.g http://www.tempurpedichelp.org/uploads/tempurpedichelp/images/20083201131040677801.jpg

I spent three days sleeping on one recently at my wife's parents apartment and I found it very uncomfortable. I woke up in the morning with awful back pain.

Maybe it just takes a few weeks to get used to it. And I was thinking if sleeping in it gives you a sore back shagging on it must be torture.

It's got to be better than Death Bed, the Bed That Eats People.

My mattress is like a rocky stone beach at times, so it's questionable if a flat stone bed would be any more uncomfortable.

I was so happy that my bed here is like a stone. i have a bad back so it was a godsend. Although i do prefer the 1 inch pillow top, just for added comfort, having a hard bed is always better than a bed that forms around you when you lie down.

I had a stone bed for over a year. I put a thin yo on top of it. It was nice and warm-comfy in winter, but other than that a literal pain. Some days I woke up in so much pain I couldn't get up, but had to rock myself back and forth until I could roll off the bed. After that, I set the alarm to wake up and stretch every five hours.

I LOVE my new King Koil!
