Korean Floor Bed. A floor bed as its name denotes is a thin mattress that is placed on the floor. I am EnglishKorean and remember that when I visited Korea I slept on the floor.

And under your head a pillow filled with buckwheat grains contributes to your dreamy nights. It was such a pleasure that we were able to enjoy at the Jeonggangwon Institute of Traditional Korean Culture near the Olympic winter capital of.
