Bed PERCY, GRAY

Bed PERCY, GRAY. It would seem that the only and most obvious purpose of the bed is a place to sleep. A modern person living in a civilized country often sees nothing else in bed. However, the purpose of the bed is much broader. At first, beds were intended to protect against crawling insects, arthropods, snakes, mice and other living creatures. The structural bed is almost universally a wooden bed with legs. Even in societies that preserve the original way of life, lodges often take this form. However, if for us the threat of being bitten by snakes or scorpions is completely absent, then in countries with a tropical climate this probability is quite high. Even in cities you can encounter snakes or poisonous spiders. That is why many tribes build their lodges either high in trees or on high poles instead of legs. The likelihood of a dangerous animal approaching a person while sleeping is much lower if he is sleeping on a bed than when he is sleeping on the floor or ground. In addition, in northern latitudes, sleeping on a bed has another advantage. Cold air, having a high density, accumulates dust.
