Not so Comfortable Beds
Can you even imagine sleeping in a bed made of hay and straw? I can live with no bed frame, but sleeping on straw doesn’t sound comfortable by any stretch of the imagination. Well, that’s how people used to live. Since memory foam mattresses didn’t exist back then, they didn’t know what they were missing. They were just happy not to be sleeping on the floor.
Unfortunately, it was kind of difficult to maintain sanitary habits; they didn’t have the option to change the straw as often as they should have. The unhygienic conditions led to bugs and lice. Who can blame them? These days, a straw bed seems like an ideal nesting spot for insects. Gross!
