I'm with you. Same for pillows. I can't handle big soft fluffy pillows and soft beds. Especially memory foam. It hurts my back. I've actually gotten up in the middle of the night to sleep on the floor before when the bed's been too soft.

I have an old memory foam mattress that is getting less and less firm. After waking up with a sore back at 3am 2 nights in a row I flipped it over and slept on the bottom, much firmer side. Has been working perfectly for the past week while I wait for my new mattress.

Why do you need a new one if the existing one works "perfectly"?
Perhaps I exaggerated. It was noticeably better than the other side. Still could be more comfortable.
How do you sleep? I don’t mind a firm bed. I’m a side sleeping and my arms and legs will hurt in it’s too firm.
The floor would make me numb.
Side or back usually. I dunno I've camped a lot in my life and slept in odd places and always had sort of shitty beds. I think i've just gotten used to it over the years.
I still prefer to have something underneath me. You're right sleeping directly on the floor sucks. I meant more on the floor with a blanket or some foam or something underneath me as opposed to a soft sinking type bed.
