The womb. I could never seem to get comfortable. I was always tossing and turning, I never could stretch out like I wanted. That’s why I finally broke out (early).
I got some really good nights of sleep when backpacking. If done right, it can be SUPER comfy, even in the winter in the Northeast.
I recall sleeping on a pull-out couch someplace that ended up being very uncomfortable, I could feel EVERY support bar in that thing. Second place is the bed at the house my family rented for a week in the summer for several years - imagine a 5' 11" 280 lb guy sleeping in a TWIN BED! As a single I got what was left after all the couples claimed the rooms with the larger beds.
One of my most memorable sleeps was at a lodge in the Amazon. It wasn't an issue of comfort, it was all about the frogs under the raised floors. I never knew that such a small amphibian could make such a loud noise. Don't know what frog it was - the Puerto Rican Coqui can belt at 90-100 decibels - as loud as a lawnmower or chainsaw. Nothing like getting up in the middle of the night, grabbing a broom, trying to get them to move ....
How about an antarctic cruise during a gale, where your bed has bed belts to keep you from flying out of your bed when the ship hits an particularly large swell? Hoped to have that experience, but missed it by 24 hours.

FYI, these threads seem to be part of a series that the OP is asking on multiple forums.
I hadn't even considered that aspect! I slept near a frozen lake/pond one night, in a lean-to (3-sided shelter), the crackling from the ice sounded like the trees overhead losing limbs...
Wow, you’re right. Not just this but all the threads the OP has started seem to be versions of one’s they’d asked elsewhere...
Lightweight.
When I was growing up, I was in the Boy Scouts. Took a canoeing trip in the Florida Everglades. Got lost on our way to the campsite (no GPS back then) and had to spend a night in our canoes in a thunderstorm.
It's a good example of a type of OSINT even if it might not be that in this case. Some people are super willing to share personally identifiable data through questionaires and "fun trivia games". Doesn't matter if it's true or false - a distinct lie is still distinct. Anything that links different accounts on different services to the same person is valuable.
Unfortunately I imagine most will read this and think "on MacRumors? I'm not that important. That's nonsense" and completely miss my point.
Some of the threads are actually interesting, (or could be) but I am somewhat concerned that the OP never seems to return to post again, or to comment on posts made by others, in threads that he or she has started. He or she simply starts a thread and then disappears.
In turn, that does raise uncomfortable questions about the sort of person who would join a forum merely to start threads that seek to ask quite personal and intrusive questions of others, but who never, ever asks, or comments on, or discusses anything else.

Hm.
I hadn't realised that there is/was a sort of mining data cloning process taking place.

One time, about a decade ago, I had to sleep in a really dirty, bug-ridden house. I was friends with someone who was in a really bad place and had no idea how bad it was until I got there. I couldn't leave because he drove and I didn't want him to feel bad, so I had to force myself to sleep there. Around midnight, I felt all kinds of bugs crawling on me, so I went outside and slept in the hammock. I really did feel bad for him and offered to sleep at my house instead, but he said he was too tired.
For me, the worst was at my in-laws house when assigned a bedroom with a rock-hard mattress, right next to a noisy chiming clock in the hallway. I didn't sleep well at all.
Or maybe it was in our tent at a campground during a downpour. We were moved to a storage building, didn't feel safe, then to a very unkempt RV that was parked on the owner's yard, then to our own vehicle. Not much sleeping occurred.

Easy enough to imagine, been there and done that with many-many others on beds much smaller than a twin.
The worst place I've slept that I can think of -- must be on one of my old chairs I would sit on whilst on my PC. Most likely a wooden or very cheap chair.
However
This will not be an issue for me any more thanks to my new purchase of my SecretLabs Titan chair! Very comfortable, and I look forward to accidentally falling asleep on it.

A few hours in the floor below the bed of a patient in the Neurosurgery ward while I was an intern, it was a "take it or leave it" option.
I see now it was gross and disgusting, but at the time, it didn't matter, I was so tired!
It was an interrogation box in Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training. You can't stand or sit down, makes for a unique experience.
Worst place I slept was Community Discussion on MacRumors while it was being data mined.
Needs to pick up the pace if it wants to troll in PRSI this fall, no?
The toilet. College party's are legendary. This one involved 10 kegs and IV bags filled with Liqour. Blurry to say the least. Woke up on the crapper. Not alone. Someone else was passed out in the tub. Lol
