The bonus of the mattress on the floor is you can still snuggle with him! that's a great set-up.
Hopefully those mattresses are good enough that you don't get sore. I was worried about that but the futon has been good. Rocky doesn't get up on it though.
it's amazing how we adjust to new routine. it almost seems odd now to think about sleeping in my bed again - it's been 4 months downstairs.
I wish I hadn't bought such a tall bed. even with a young dog I'll be worries about injury jumping down (because I now worry about everything!)
