"Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?"
- Folk song by Lonnie Donegan
Beds are pieces of furniture used for sleeping. Different types of beds have been used throughout history, many very unlike the beds we know today.
Some were simple piles of rugs or sacks stuffed with straw, while others were huge and elaborately carved.
Did you know? From ancient times to the European Middle Ages, beds were often used for reclining to eat a meal. Talk about breakfast in bed!

During medieval times, beds were often surrounded by curtains to keep out drafts. Some beds from fifteenth-century Europe were very large, measuring 7 feet by 8 feet (modern king size beds are just over 6 feet square).
The Great Bed of Ware from the sixteenth century measured 10 feet by 11 feet. That is larger than the rooms in many homes! It is thought that the whole family may have slept in them.
The modern bed began to take shape during the 1800s, complete with coiled spring mattresses and metal bed frames, also called bedsteads.
The past century has seen numerous innovations, including mattresses filled with water or air, or electronic beds that are adjustable in height, contour, and softness.
