Is it okay lay on the floor when you watch TV?

Asked by simone54 (7642points) August 19th, 2009

I couldn’t be happier then when I’m laying on the floor with a big comfy pillow right in front of the television. Apparently this isn’t acceptable for all people. What do you do?

I prefer a hammock.

i like the feel of sitting on the floor apposed to a couch personally sitting and or lying on my floor is the way I roll. Some people feel bad when I sit or lay on their floor they worry I feel uncomfortable so it depends on the house and how unfazed they are by my seating arrangement.

Yes! (But only if the floor is clean.)
I can always be found in a corner floor of my room iPod in one hand and remote control in the other.

I like the floor helps my bones , i get too sweaty on a seat sitting on a seat is not comfy for me . It can do you damage depending how you look at the TV , its better to be side on so you ain’t stretching you neck .

I remember doing that a lot as a kid.
These days I really don’t watch TV, but all the TVs in our house are near couches or seats, and I’d certainly pick those before the ground.

I watch television very rarely nowadays, but when I used to, I preferred sinking into one of those very large beanbag chairs which placed me low to the ground and provided good back support. See ya…Gary aka wtf

Only if I’m leaning on something.
and yes @whatthefluther on beanbags. Everyone should have one in front of the TV.

I prefer my stressless recliner. If you have a £1000 to spend on improving your audio visual set up forget about getting a plasma, bluray player or surround sound and get one of these.

I prefer the floor. My friends laugh at me because I’ll sit on the floor and lean back on the couch even when there’s an open seat right behind me. Sometimes, I even prefer the floor over my bed.

I will often sit on the floor too! If I am a guest at someones house I always ask them if they mind if I sit on the floor and explain to them (if they ask) that’s it’s just a habit of mine rater than me being uncomfortable on thier sofa! People don’t seem to mind.

In your own home, sit or lie down wherever the hell you want. In someone else’s home, you sit on the furniture.

I lay on the floor to watch tv in my house. It’s just more comfortable for me. But, if I’m in the family room downstairs, I lay on the huge comfy couch..

Yess!!! I used to do that all the time!! But then my dad told me to stop because it wasn’t good for my eyes.:(
Whenever I was sleepy,I used to lay on the big,fluffy couch until I could fall asleep! :) Good times…....

We never lie on the floor at our house because if one does the dogs will come sit on you. Since one weighs 120 pounds, it can get a bit sweaty and hard to breathe.

However, if you don’t have any dogs then I would say whatever makes you happy is alright, as long as other people can get around you.

@Darwin I have the same problem with our Retrievers!
