Secret Beds

Anyone would agree that the bedroom is one of the best nooks in the house because it is where we spend the most time, be it happy or not, in privacy. Most of us prefer to slumber beneath covers on cushy and extended mattresses, but some Dutchies slept in cupboard beds (there were others, too).

This, of course, was in the past, specifically during the 1800s and earlier. At that time, people rested in an almost standing position, which wasn’t amusing at all. However, they believed this would shield them from being attacked by savage beasts if they made it into the abode.
