Sleep before the mattress was discovered was...?

What was life like before the sleeping mattress was invented? Then the soft or hard dilemma was… completely different?

Once upon a time, people didn't have mattresses and slept in quite different places than they do today. The experience of sleep back then was completely different from what we know today!

Did you know that... before the mattress was discovered, some people slept on rocks! Not so ideal for a comfortable night's sleep.

But at least without any dilemma as to the hardness of the mattress: you could choose between hard and... hard surface! Still others preferred to sleep on improvised wooden beds, while sleeping on the ground is definitely considered a constant value! Well, you wouldn't call it an era where comfort was a priority! The truth is that the history of sleep has evolved gradually over time. The first references to sleeping mats date back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Romans, who used various materials such as palm leaves, pigeons and even crocodile skin to create soft underlays. Today, of course, fortunately we have many more options. Sleeping mattresses have evolved into a wide range of materials and technologies that ensure the comfort and support everyone needs for a quality night's sleep! Therefore... we can only appreciate what we have today! The luxury of quality sleep has indeed come a long way from the beginning of human history, until today we can say that "no matter how many difficulties we face, a good, satisfying sleep can help us face them".
