The bed base adaptable to all bed frames: the comb bed base or extendable bed base
A brief history of the bed
Throughout history, man has known how to adapt to his environment and if we observe the way men rested, we see that very quickly, they looked for solutions to sleep properly.
Around 8000 BC, man used palm leaves or straw as a bed to isolate himself from the earth and define his comfort zone.
In the Bronze Age, man dug the ground to create a kind of levitation and covered the area with mats.
During Antiquity, the Greeks and Romans perfected comfort, they slept on beds made of ebony, lemon or fig wood. Then the bed was covered with a mattress, a linen bag filled with bird feathers or wool. Animal skins and furs served as blankets and the first gilding, ivory feet, marked social wealth. At that time, the poorest slept on the floor on wood shavings, hay, palm leaves in a corner of the room and covered themselves with worthless fabrics.
During the Middle Ages, the bed, as we define it today, made its appearance, it was always symbolic of wealth but it took on several functions. We discovered four-poster beds with their drapes, their hangings, their canopies and ornate gilding, the bed was isolated from the ground thanks to boards or platforms. The bed was the living space where decisions were made, where audiences were held, where people ate, where people slept almost sitting up and where people died. It was intended to be the most comfortable and sumptuous for the wealthiest. The poorest always made do with the ground covered with leaves or furs or simple wooden boxes.
In the 18th century, the marital bed appeared as the basis of a certain social control and for the sake of religious convenience.
In the 19th century, finally, the bed became widespread among the population and its simplified appearance resembled current beds. Wood and wrought iron were the main materials used.
Today, there are many old beds in unusual formats still in circulation; the concern for conservatism is included in a society that wants to be more and more respectful of the environment and which also wishes to perpetuate an era that is dying out.
