 A bed is a piece of furniture which is used as a place to sleep or relax .

 Most modern beds consist of a soft , cushioned mattress on a bed frame , the mattress resting either on a solid base , often wood slats , or a sprung base . Many beds include a box spring inner - sprung base , which is a large mattress - sized box containing wood and springs that provide additional support and suspension for the mattress . Beds are available in many sizes , ranging from infant - sized bassinets and cribs , to small beds for a single person or adult , to large queen and king - size beds designed for two people . While most beds are single mattresses on a fixed frame , there are other varieties , such as the murphy bed , which folds into a wall , the sofa bed , which folds out of a sofa , and the bunk bed , which provides two mattresses on two tiers . Temporary beds include the inflatable air mattress and the folding camp cot . Some beds contain neither a padded mattress nor a bed frame , such as the hammock , which is considered one of the most comfortable places to rest while swaying side to side . Some beds are made especially for animals .

 Beds may have a headboard for resting against , and may have side rails and footboards ( or `` footers '' ) . `` Headboard only '' beds may incorporate a `` dust ruffle '' , `` bed skirt '' , or `` valance sheet '' to hide the bed frame . To support the head , a pillow made of a soft , padded material is usually placed on the top of the mattress . Some form of covering blanket is often used to insulate the sleeper , often bed sheets , a quilt , or a duvet , collectively referred to as bedding . Bedding is the removable non-furniture portion of a bed , which enables these components to be washed or aired out .

 Ancient world

 Tutankhamun 's gilded bed from the 14th century BC

 Early beds were little more than piles of straw or some other natural material ( e.g. a heap of palm leaves , animal skins , or dried bracken ) . An important change was raising them off the ground , to avoid drafts , dirt , and pests . Bedding dated around to 3600 BC was discovered in Sibudu Cave , South Africa . The bedding consists of sedge and other monocotyledons topped with the leaves of Cryptocarya woodii Engl . Beds found in a preserved northern Scottish village , which were raised boxes made of stone and likely topped with comfortable fillers , were dated to between 3200 BC and 2200 BC . The Egyptians had high bedsteads which were ascended by steps , with bolsters or pillows , and curtains to hang around . The elite of Egyptian society such as its pharaohs and queens even had beds made of wood , sometimes gilded . Often there was a head - rest as well , semi-cylindrical and made of stone , wood , or metal . Ancient Assyrians , Medes , and Persians had beds of a similar kind , and frequently decorated their furniture with inlays or appliques of metal , mother - of - pearl , and ivory .

 The image to the right showcases a headrest . Headrests like this were used in life to support the head while sleeping . They are also found supporting a mummy 's head in the coffin . This headrest perhaps was made specifically for the tomb , since the offering prayer has been inscribed on the supporting column , although the prayer may have been added after the death of the owner .

 The oldest account of a bed is probably that of Odysseus : a charpoy woven of rope plays a role in the Odyssey . A similar bed can be seen at the St Fagans National History Museum in Wales . Odysseus also gives an account of how he crafted the nuptial bed for himself and Penelope , out of an ancient , huge olive tree trunk that used to grow on the spot before the bridal chamber was built . His detailed description finally persuades the doubting Penelope that the shipwrecked , aged man is indeed her long - lost husband . Homer also mentions the inlaying of the woodwork of beds with gold , silver , and ivory . The Greek bed had a wooden frame , with a board at the head and bands of hide laced across , upon which skins were placed . At a later period the bedstead was often veneered with expensive woods ; sometimes it was of solid ivory veneered with tortoise - shell and with silver feet ; often it was of bronze . The pillows and coverings also became more costly and beautiful ; the most celebrated places for their manufacture were Miletus , Corinth and Carthage . Folding beds , too , appear in the famous Ancient Greek vase paintings .

 Roman mattresses were stuffed with reeds , hay , or wool . Feathers were 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 high and could only be ascended by the help of steps . They were often arranged for two people , and had 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 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 placed in the atrium opposite the door

 lectus discubitorius , or table bed , on which they ate -- for they ate while lying on their left sides -- there usually being 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 carried to the pyre

 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 . In the early Middle Ages they laid carpets on the floor or on a bench against the wall , placed upon them mattresses stuffed with feathers , wool , or hair , and used skins as a covering . Curtains were hung from the ceiling or from an iron arm projecting from the wall . They appear to have generally lain naked in bed , wrapping themselves in large linen sheets which were stretched over the cushions .

 Southampton Medieval Merchant 's House bedroom

 In the 12th century , luxury increased and bedsteads were made of wood much decorated with inlaid , carved , and painted ornamentation . They also used folding beds , which served as couches by day and had cushions covered with silk laid upon leather . At night a linen sheet was spread and pillows placed , while silk - covered skins served as coverlets . The Carolingian manuscripts show metal bedsteads much higher at the head than at the feet , and this shape continued in use until the 13th century in France , many cushions being added to raise the body to a sloping position . In 12th - century manuscripts , the bedsteads appear much richer , with inlays , carving , and painting , and with embroidered coverlets and mattresses in harmony . Curtains were hung above the bed and a small hanging lamp is often shown .

 In the 14th century the woodwork became of less importance , generally being entirely covered by hangings of rich materials . Silk , velvet , and even cloth of gold were frequently used . Inventories from the beginning of the 14th century give details of these hangings lined with fur and richly embroidered . It was then that the Four poster bed ( also known as a tester bed ) made its first appearance , the bed being slung from the ceiling or fastened to the walls , a form which developed later into a room within a room , shut in by double curtains , sometimes even to exclude all drafts . The space between bed and wall was called the ruelle , and very intimate friends were received there . The 14th century is also the time when feather beds became highly prized possessions .

 In the 15th century beds became very large , reaching 7 to 8 feet ( 2.1 to 2.4 m ) by 6 to 7 feet ( 1.8 to 2.1 m ) . The mattresses were often filled with pea - shucks , straw , or feathers . At this time great personages were in the habit of carrying most of their property about with them , including beds and bed - hangings , and for this reason the bedsteads were for the most part mere frameworks to be covered up ; but about the beginning of the 16th century bedsteads were made lighter and more decorative , since the lords remained in the same place for longer periods .

 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 , though they lasted much longer in England . Louis XIV had an enormous number of sumptuous beds , as many as 413 being described in the inventories of his palaces . Some of them had embroideries enriched with pearls , and figures on a silver or golden ground . The great bed at Versailles had crimson velvet curtains on which `` The Triumph of Venus '' was embroidered . So much gold was used that the velvet scarcely showed .

 Napoleon I 's bed

 In the 18th century feather pillows were first used as coverings in Germany , which in the fashions of the bed and the curious etiquette connected with the bedchamber followed France for the most part . The beds were a la duchesse , but in France itself there was great variety both of name and shape . The custom of the `` bed of justice '' upon which the king of France reclined when he was present in parliament , the princes being seated , the great officials standing , and the lesser officials kneeling , was held to denote the royal power even more than the throne .

 Louis XI is credited with its first use and the custom lasted till the end of the monarchy . In the chambre de parade , where the ceremonial bed was placed , certain persons , such as ambassadors or great lords , whom it was desired to honour , were received in a more intimate fashion than the crowd of courtiers . At Versailles women received their friends in their beds , both before and after childbirth , during periods of mourning , and even directly after marriage -- in fact in any circumstances which were thought deserving of congratulation or condolence . During the 17th century this curious custom became general , perhaps to avoid the tiresome details of etiquette . Portable beds were used in high society in France till the end of the Ancien Régime . The earliest of which mention has been found belonged to Charles the Bold . They had curtains over a light framework , and were in their way as fine as the stationary beds .

 Iron beds appear in the 18th century ; the advertisements declare them as free from the insects which sometimes infested wooden bedsteads . Elsewhere , there was also the closed bed with sliding or folding shutters , and in England -- where beds were commonly quite simple in form -- the four poster was the usual citizen 's bed until the middle of the 19th century .

 Bed sizes

 Main article : Bed size

 Bed sizes vary considerably around the world , with most countries having their own standards and terminology . While the `` double '' size appears to be standard among English speaking countries , based on the imperial measurement of 4 ft 6 in by 6 ft 3 in ( 137 cm x 190 cm ) , the sizes for other bed types tend to vary . The mainland European sizes differ , not merely because of the use of the metric system .

 In the mid-1950s , the United States bedding industry introduced a new size : the king size . A king - sized bed differs from the other sizes in implementation , as it is not common to have a king - sized box spring ; rather , two smaller box - springs are used under a king - sized mattress . It is a common misconception that in a US `` standard '' or `` Eastern king '' , the box springs are identical in size to a `` twin extra-long '' ; however , `` twin extra-long '' mattresses next to each other add up to 78 inches ( 200 cm ) wide instead of the 76 inches ( 190 cm ) width that is standard for an `` eastern king '' . Another size variant in the United States is the `` California king '' , which measures 72 by 84 inches ( 180 cm × 210 cm ) long ( narrower but longer than the standard king ) .

 What is referred to as a `` single bed '' in many parts of the world may also be known in US terminology as a `` twin bed . '' In some countries , a `` twin bed '' may also be used to describe one of two single beds in the same room . As another example , in some cultures , the `` full mattress '' is referred to as a `` master size bed . ''

 When a mattress is available in fixed size ( for example , twin or queen ) , and the description does not specify the exact size , this table may be used .

 Notable examples

 The Great Bed of Ware , one of the largest beds in the world

 One of the largest beds in the world is the Great Bed of Ware , made in about 1580 . It is 3.26 metres ( 10.7 ft ) wide , 3.38 metres ( 11.1 ft ) long . The bed is mentioned by Shakespeare in Twelfth Night . It is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum ( V&A ) in London . Another bed in the V&A is the Golden Bed created by William Burges in 1879 .

 In 1882 , an Indian Maharajah had a bed made of solid silver . At each corner of the bed there was a life - sized statue of a naked woman holding a fan . When the Maharajah lay on the bed , his weight started a mechanism that made the women wave their fans .

 In 1865 , a convertible bed in the form of an upright piano was available , which could provide home entertainment while saving space .

 There are many varieties of beds :

 An adjustable bed is a bed that can be adjusted to a number of different positions . Most hospital beds are adjustable , so that a patient can have different parts of her body elevated for medical reasons . Some people have adjustable beds in private homes . Some adjustable beds are designed for couples ; they use two separate mattresses and adjustment mechanisms . This permits one partner to be lying flat to sleep while the other has the head and shoulders elevated to watch television or read . Couple adjustable beds also permit partners with different medical conditions to select a mattress positioning that best suits them .

 An air bed uses an air - inflated mattress , sometimes connected to an electric air pump and having variable , firmness controls . The portable version of an air bed can also be rolled up and packed ; so is meant for travel or temporary guest use .

 A bassinet is a bed specifically for newborns .

 A box - bed is a bed having the form of a large box with wooden roof , sides , and ends , opening in front with two sliding panels or shutters ; often used in cottages in Scotland : sometimes also applied to a bed arranged to fold up into a box .

 A brass bed has a frame constructed from brass . A brass - plated bed is a cheaper bed of iron with a thin covering of brass , which with time peels off and the iron is exposed .

 A bunk bed is two or more beds one atop the other . Bunk beds are used for adults in military barracks and in some ski lodges . Bunk beds are used for children and teens in summer camps . Some inexpensive hostels provide bunk beds for guests . Bunk beds are used for children in private homes .

 A loft bed is similar to a bunk bed , except there is no lower bunk . This leaves space underneath for storage , other furniture , a desk etc .

 A captain 's bed ( also known as a `` captain bed '' , `` chest bed '' , or `` cabin bed '' ) is a platform bed with drawers and storage compartments built in underneath .

 A camp bed ( also `` cot '' ) is a simple , temporary , portable bed used by armies and by campers . Cots are also used to provide a sleeping surface for refugees and other homeless people during disasters , floods , or other crises .

 A canopy bed is similar to a four poster bed , but the posts usually extend higher and are adorned or draped with cloth , sometimes completely enclosing the bed .

 A curtained bed is a luxury bed with curtains .

 A daybed is a couch that is used as a seat by day and as a bed by night . Usually it has pop up trundle which is used as bed in the night .

 A futon is a traditional style of Japanese bed using a mattress on a wooden frame . Futons are also available in a larger Western style which can fold halfway for sitting . Futons were traditionally made with cotton , but in the 2000s , many futons include synthetic foam .

 A four poster bed is a bed with four posts , one in each corner , that support a tester .

 A hammock is a piece of suspended fabric or netting , used on ships and in some homes .

 A hideaway bed , invented by Sarah E. Goode in response to the needs of apartment - dwellers , folds up into another piece of furniture , such as a shelf or desk , when not in use .

 A hospital bed is specifically designed to facilitate convalescence , traditionally in a hospital or nursing facility , but increasingly in other settings , such as a private residence . Hospital beds are typically adjustable , so that the head or feet can be raised or lowered . Modern hospital beds commonly have wheels to assist in moderate relocation , but they are larger and generally more permanently placed than a trolley ( US : gurney ) . The `` hospital bed '' is also a common unit of measurement for the capacity of any type of inpatient medical facility , though it is just as common to shorten the term to `` bed '' in that usage ( e.g. The hospital has 250 beds ... ) .

 An infant bed ( also `` crib '' or `` cot '' ) is a small bed specifically for babies and infants .

 An iron bed , developed in the 1850s , is constructed of iron and steel .

 A kang bed - stove is a Chinese ceramic room heater used as the platform for a bed .

 A Murphy bed or wallbed is a bed that can fold up into a wall or cabinet to save space .

 An Ottoman bed ( in the UK ) is a type of storage bed in which the storage area is placed underneath the mattress base and accessed by lifting the hinged mattress frame with the help of a spring or hydraulic mechanism .

 A pallet is a thin , lightweight mattress .

 A platform bed is a mattress resting on a solid , flat raised surface , either free - standing or part of the structure of the room .

 A roll - away bed is a bed whose frame folds in half and rolls in order to be more easily stored and moved . This is used in different settings , including hotels for either free or a nominal fee per night , where more people than expected may need to sleep in the same room , e.g. 5 people in a hotel room for 4 ( two twin beds ) .

 A rope bed is a pre-modern bed whose wooden frame includes crossing ropes to support the typically down - filled single mattress .

 A toddler bed is a small bed for young children .

 A trundle bed or `` truckle bed '' is a bed usually stored beneath a twin bed also sometimes referred to as a `` sleepover bed '' or `` daybed with pop up trundle ''

 A vibrating bed ( also known as a Magic Fingers bed ) is typically a coin - operated novelty found in a vintage ( c. 1960s - early 1980s ) motel . For a nominal fee , the mattress vibrates for a duration of time . Alternatively it is a modern bed which vibrates by use of an off - centre motor . It is controlled by electronics for varying time and amplitude settings and is used therapeutically to ease back pains or as an erotic aid .

 A waterbed is a flexible plastic mattress full of water . The plastic container needs a strong frame around it .

 Frames

 Main article : Bed frame

 Bed frames , also called bed steads , are made of wood or metal . The frame is made up of head , foot , and side rails . For heavy duty or larger frames ( such as for queen - and king - sized beds ) , the bed frame also includes a center support rail . These rails are assembled to create a box for the mattress or mattress / box spring to sit on .

 Types include :

 platform -- typically used without a box spring

 captain -- has drawers beneath the frame to make use of the space between the floor and the bed frame

 waterbed -- a heavy - duty frame built specifically to support the weight of the water in the mattress ( Mainly used on larger models )

 Though not truly parts of a bed frame , headboards , footboards , and bed rails can be included in the definition . Headboards and footboards can be wood or metal . They can be stained , painted , or covered in fabric or leather .

 Bed rails are made of wood or metal and are attached to a headboard and footboard . Wooden slats are placed perpendicular to the bed rails to support the mattress / mattress box spring . Bed rails and frames are often attached to the bed post using knock - down fittings . A knock - down fitting enables the bed to be easily dismantled for removal . Primary knock - down fittings for bed rails are as follows :

 Pin - and - hook fastener . A mortise or slot is cut vertically in the bedpost . Pins are inserted horizontally in the bed post so that the pins perpendicularly intersect the mortise . For example , if one looked in the mortise , one might see part of one horizontal pin at the bottom of the mortise and a part of a second pin toward the top of the mortise . Hooks are installed at the end of the rail . Usually these hooks are part of a plate that is attached to the rail . The hooks then are inserted into the bed post mortise and hook over the pins .

 Plate - and - hook fastener . Instead of pins inserted horizontally into the bedpost , an eye plate ( post plate ) is installed on the bedpost . The hooks are installed on the rail , either as surface mount or recessed . Depending on the hardware , the bedpost may require a mortise in order to allow the hooks to fasten to the plate . This is also referred to as a keyhole fastener , especially if the connector is more of a `` plug '' than a `` hook '' .

 Bed bolts ( `` through - bolts '' ) are a different means of a knock - down connection . A hole is typically drilled through the bedpost . The bolt head is inset and covered with a plug . In the rail , a dowel nut or other type of nut receives the bolt . The springs are made from metal , which are swirled for maximum comfort

 Safety rails , or cot sides , can be added to the sides of a bed ( normally a child or elderly person 's bed ) to stop anyone falling out of the sides of the bed . A safety rail is normally a piece of wood that attaches to the side rails on one or both sides of the bed . They are made so that they can be easily removed when no longer required .
