Japanese Bedding questions...yes a weird one :P


Recommended Posts

Howdy...

First off im not being a stereotypical English...just thought id ask, cos i dont think its been mentioned before :(

I have a bad back from work somedays, and i find lying on the floor helps a lot.

My bed has seen better days, and combined with the fact ive outgrown it long ago, i need a new one.

I thought id ask the guys living in Japan...Do you guys sleep in the traditional "roll it out on the floor style matress" bed??

Sorry if im way off here, but im really serious about finiding some information on the traditional Japanese bedding style. My back really does get bad, and i think if i started sleeping on the floor it would help me a lot...

Which ones of you guys said stuff it, i like my beds and i aint givin it up? :)

Any info on what makes up the traditional bedding etc would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks again in advance :P

And heres me thinking you were gonna ask about Japanese ladies "sleeping habits"... hehehe.

I'm western style double queen size all the way... I used to sleep on a futon for the first 2 years I was here though, I didn't like it at all... no good for "certain" "positions" right guv, seen?

Same as Rezz - futon on Tatami mat floors for the first two years, then the luxury of a proper bed since then. Got to admit I don't find anything wrong with futons, it's just that I'm so lazy I can't be bothered pulling out the cupboard and nite, then packing them away the next morning...:rolleyes:

Been sleeping on a futon since I got here, my back is really screwed up and it's pretty much the only thing I can sleep on these days. It's the same reason I put a nice stiff Recaro in the car, the factory R33 seats were killing my back on long trips.

So where can I get one of these in Japan?
you probably cant get one dude. as it is only available in australia BUT trust me man I run a bedding shop in adelaide australia and man you NEED a good Bed, dont buy something too hard make sure you get a COMFORTABLE BED and if soft is comfortable go for it. ONLY you can tell what is comfortable.

yes...i do think about it....and i have taken appropriate action.

i need a new bed anyway, cos ive outgrown my last one (had it for at least 10 years now) and i need a stiff mattress...

Had a posturepedic...but it feels good when im on the floor...hence this topic....

Now if i could only find a Traditional Japanese Futon maker in Adelaide.....

I just sleep on the desk ing the shop most night... but other then that i had the futon and then a double and a water bed and not a standard.. I guess that it really does not matter what media that you sleep on. i still wake up sore from a drifting the night before! getting old sucks so unless you sleep in your pool then i think you aught to see a doc on that back thing!

Ok...everyone. Dont worry bout my back. I have taken appropriate action at work, and seen the doctor.

His advice WAS to lay on the floor because it does help :D

And it does work for me.....

Thats why im after some info on what consists of the tradtional Japanese bedding...i dont wanna end up using my swag in my bedroom to sleep on :(

So, anyone got any pics, or links to show me what i should be lookin for??

Any help would be grealty appreciated ;)

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
