Bed furniture
Interesting Information Regarding
Beds
- Part 2
The Roman mattresses were filled up with reeds, hay, made of wool or feathers; the last was used towards the end of the Republic, when custom demanded luxury. Small cushions were placed at the head and sometimes at the back. The bedsteads were higher and could possibly only just be ascended with the assistance of steps. They were frequently arranged for two main people, coupled with a board or railing at the back as well as the raised portion at the head. The counterpanes were sometimes very costly, generally purple embroidered with figures in gold; and rich hangings fell to the ground masking the front. The bedsteads themselves were often of bronze inlaid with silver, and Elagabalus had one of solid silver. In the walls of some of the houses at Pompeii
bed
niches are found which were probably closed by curtains or sliding partitions. Ancient Romans had various kinds of beds for repose. These included:
• lectus cubicularis, or chamber bed, for normal sleeping;
• lectus genialis, the marriage bed, it was much decorated, and was used in the atrium opposite the door.
• lectus discubitorius, or table bed, on which they ate-for they ate while lying on their left side-there being usually three people to one bed, with the middle place accounted the most honorable position;
• lectus lucubratorius, for studying;
• and a lectus funebris, or emortualis, on which the dead were transported to the pyre.
One thing you almost certainly didn't know about beds and bed furniture, you could also call it a couple of factoids;
In Shakespeare's period, mattresses were anchored on bedframes by means of ropes. Whenever you pulled on the ropes the mattress stiffened, making the bed harder to sleep on. That's where the saying, "goodnight, sleep tight" came from.
The typical bed hosts 6 billion dust mites.
