Q: why are the beds so hard ?

The most common complaint I read in tourst reviews is the bed in China is so hard.. why is that ?
i think the mattresses in North America get thicker every year, extra pillow topping. And try getting sheets that fit !

They say that hard mattresses and pillows are better for you. It supposedly cures back pain. Plus, back in the day, many people only had bamboo or bricks to make their beds out of so maybe the hard-bed thing just stuck over the centuries.

I think who says firm mattresses are better are the companies that make them.
If I sleep on a firm American mattress, my hips and back will be sore in the morning. A luxury comfort bed hugs your body, not a hard as brick bed.
Old beds were made feathers, woved lats,furs,. I'd sleep on a pile of straw before a pile of bricks. I wonder if room service can send up some straw?

They're not comfortable as you mentioned, my hips and ribs, well everything is sore in the morning... I bought a NICE bed so no worries sleeping at home but the beds everywhere else are more like sleeping on a boxspring...

When I was in Germany they were super comfortable!?! Munich, Berlin, Baden-Soellingen, Lahr, Calw, AND MORE! You were quite unlucky! or I guess lucky seeing how you like hard beds... The beds I slept on had a wool or down pillow mattress pad... Quite comfortable!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
