How old are you? I'm pretty sure that it'll take a toll long term, but maybe that's me.

I'm thirty and I actually began sleeping on a proper Japanese futon mattress specifically because of back issues that were then cleared up. Millions of people sleep on essentially a pad on the floor just fine.

Millions of people also have back problems, anecdote is not evidence :P

I'm only 35, but it could I guess, further down the road. Not sure from a historical standpoint how many older guys that slept on the ground (think cavemen) had back problems, but it could be something (like temperature) that one acclimates to.
