If you were fortunate to be wealthy in medieval Europe, then you could use your bed to show off your status. Their impressive beds were carved out of wood, raised off the floor, and often encrusted with jewels. Four-poster beds were created during these times, with velvet drapes to keep out the bugs and cold air, and to further show off wealth. However, if you were poor, you slept either on the floor or a small raised platform with hay for a mattress and a scratchy wool blanket.

 Another misconception about microfiber sheets is that they make you sweat.  While it's true that microfiber isn't as breathable as natural fibers like cotton, high-quality microfiber sheets are designed to wick away moisture and regulate body temperature.  Look for microfiber sheets with moisture-wicking properties to ensure a comfortable, sweat-free sleep experience.
