WHAT IS
A BED?
A bed is a piece of furniture upon which a person may recline or sleep
Early beds were little more than piles of straw or some other natural material. An important
change was raising them off the ground, to avoid drafts, dirt, and pests
Ancient Times
Medieval Europe
The ancient Germans lay on the floor on beds of leaves covered with skins, or in
a kind of shallow chest filled with leaves and moss.
Renaissance and modern Europe
In the 17th century, which has been called "the century of magnificent beds", the style a la
duchesse, with tester and curtains only at the head, replaced the more enclosed beds in
France.
TYPES OF
MATTRESSE
S
Air Mattresses:Air mattress uses one or more air chambers and it has a feature of an adjustable dual control and these can be changed according to the sleeping needs.
Memory Foam:These are made from viscoelastic foam and it is a byproduct resulted while developing a foam product by NASA. This foam mattresses support the body’s frame structure in a very comfortable way. This is the best way for reusing old
mattresses.
Latex Mattresses:
It comes in either a natural or synthetic foam material. These are eco-friendly and they are cooler than the other type of mattresses. The latex in the mattress protects the users from allergies by keeping away the dust mites.
Innerspring:These mattresses are made up of steel spring coils and most of the modern mattresses are of this type. Comfort provided by this type of mattress
depends on the coil support on the base of it. Not only comfort but the cost of the mattress depends on the spring design.
Water Mattresses:Water beds are based on the advanced water filled tube mechanism that provides a more stable and comfortable cushioned surface and these are more beneficial than the old water beds.
