Evolution of humans and the Mattress

Beds and mattresses have a history that is about as long as that of civilized man. Before written history it is thought that men slept on piles of plant material such as leaves, moss, or fronds. They may have used skins in the same way. As some people accumulated wealth, sleeping habits changed. Royal Egyptians came to see the advantage of sleeping on beds that were off the ground.

Since mattresses were made of organic material, they were the perfect venue for mites and a variety of other pests. Feathers became popular as a soft and comfortable stuffing for mattresses, but they could not escape the pest problem. Even the modern home owner can experience infestations of bedding if proper care is not exercised. The pests are much less likely to be visible in a modern bedroom, but they may still exist.
