EVOLUTION OF BEDS

ANCIENT EGYPT (CIRCA 3000 B.C. TO 1000 B.C.)

Made of plain wood (if you were a

commoner) or covered with gold,
jewels and ebony if you were of high
social status, the simple platform bed
was topped with a mattress made of
wool cushions. Linen sheets and a
stone or wooden head support added
extra comfort.
ANCIENT ROME (CIRCA 1000 B.C. TO 476 A.D.)

The wealthier citizens of ancient Rome

slept on raised beds made of metal,
with woven metal supports to hold the
feather or straw-stuffed mattress.
MEDIEVAL LIFE (CIRCA 5TH THROUGH 15TH CENTURY)

If you lived in medieval Europe, your

sleeping arrangements would have
largely depended on your position in
life. If you were lucky enough to be
wealthy, your bed was an opportunity
to show off your status.
RENAISSANCE (CIRCA 14TH THROUGH 17TH CENTURY)

While the poorest folks continued to

sleep on simple pallets of hay laid on
the floor or on a simple platform, it was
now common for those of middle-class
status to have not only a four-poster
bed but also a separate bedroom to
hold it.
18TH CENTURY

During the 18th century, beds became

simpler in style, although still often
surrounded by heavy curtains. While
beds were still usually made of wood,
metal bedframes were starting to
become popular as well.
19TH CENTURY

By the late 1800s, however, the posts

were typically much smaller, and
headboards and footboards also shrunk
accordingly.
One striking advance to the bed during
this time was the invention of metal
bedsprings to support the mattress,
instead of ropes or wool straps
20TH CENTURY

The 20th century was a busy time for

bed innovations: the Murphy bed and
the waterbed were both invented and
rose in popularity during this era.
21ST CENTURY

In this time the beds are simple in

design, and they made in different
materials like steel, fiber etc.
DESIGN

I want to make a simple

minimal design.
It should easy to built, easy to
move and easy to store.
