I spend a lot of time on the floor. I even bought a meditation mat for a little bit of padding.
I'll also lay on the floor. I have a firm bed but sometimes it's just nicer on the floor. Even as a child, if I was stressed, I'd end up laying on the floor. It's very grounding from that perspective.
I'd love to get a low desk one day so I can work while sitting on the floor. I always sit cross legged or on a foot but it's very uncomfortable on chairs designed only for the size of a butt.
Get a desk and chop the legs off?
I'd either need a bigger room or something portable and collapsible. Also, since it's spring time I lose 1/4 of my room for the rest of the year to set up an outside play area for my gecko.
Gecko tax?
The first picture was from the end of last year and the second was from last night after a fresh shed and looking to warm up on my arm.
I bought a small portable table for my living room, handmade from Etsy. You can fold it. I wouldn't use it as a working desk fully as the width is a bit too small (can't get my legs under it when crossed), but for reading, eating, studying it works great. Unfortunately there seems to be quite a lack of "low tables" in the west compared to Asia... I wish I had more options.
There really isn't much available for people who don't want a chair/desk combination in North America. Feels a bit oppressive but maybe that's my perspective since school was nothing but attention based torture for me.
