‘Bed’ is an Old English word but ‘bedroom’ arrived only in 1600 and ‘bed bug’ in 1803. Folding Beds were used in Ancient Greece. The Mattress is Arabian in Origin. The best bed in the house was usually the guest bed in Shakespearian times, while the second-best is likely to be the marital one that he and his wife shared. Because of his belief in the powers of magnetic flow, Charles Dickens always slept with his bed in a North-South alignment. Not only is March National Bed Month in the UK but this is National Sleep Awareness Week in the United States. All this is important, because we are talking about health and quality for at least a third of your life.
