Adjustable Bed Center

We have all heard the old saying of “sleep tight don’t let the bed bugs bite”.  Since this is incredibly gross, let’s just focus on the first part.

Many historians have suggested that the “sleep tight” part actually comes from Colonial times, when the mattresses were laid upon ropes, which were very primitive models of what we know as box springs.  The ropes were interwoven, somewhat resembling a hammock, and were expected to be taut and stretched to capacity.  If they were not, the mattress would sag in the middle, causing lumps, and making for a very uncomfortable sleep where you just sink into the middle of the bed.

So, sleep tight was actually a good wish for folks, because then your mattress would be comfortable and firm, and great for the back, which of course would prevent restlessness.

Since the days of sleeping on taut ropes are long gone, this expression has slowly developed new meaning.  Tight is a word that can be used to mean so many things in slang.  But even with the language changes over the years, sleep tight is still a good wish of sorts, in that you want the person to have a wonderful night of rest.

A single unit of down is referred to as a cluster, and with its many thousands of filaments, the cluster resembles a ripe dandelion pod. Though down is lighter than feathers, it has a three-dimensional structure that causes it to insulate very well by trapping more air.

Geese usually provide the biggest and best down clusters used for pillows and comforters. Down pillows are stuffed with the down of geese or ducks and usually have an immaculate construction with a high thread count and various types of cotton for an outer covering such as sateen or damask.
