The Jewish bedstead was frequently merely the divan or platform along
the sides of the house, sometimes a very slight portable frame, sometimes
only a mat or one or more quilts. The only material for bed-clothes is
mentioned in 1 Samuel 19:13. Sleeping in the open air was not uncommon,
the sleeper wrapping himself in his outer garment (Exodus 22:26,27;
Deuteronomy 24:12,13).
