Before civilization came to Nigeria, what type of bed did our ancestors sleep on.

I am asking this because I read in Things Fall Apart that Okonkwo used to sleep on his bamboo bed.


What type of bed could our ancestors have slept on that would be comfortable.

I know they couldn't have been sleeping on the floor because of the risk of ants or insects bite.

Bamboo

Is it because I said Okonkwo slept on Bamboo bed?

Maybe there are other ways they slept.

I want to know the other ways.

Concrete before civilization?

We used mud to build raised platforms on which we placed mats and then slept maybe.

Either palmfronds knitted into a mat or something like this used by the ancient people of Egypt. Though this looks like something used by the royalties.

My guess is the clay floor.

Or mats.

Thank you.

This looks like the most likely way they made their beds.

I believe most of them must have made their beds this way.

Concrete or clay? I'm guessing clay.

Maybe the rich among them used something like this.

There is a certain type grass when cleared together and bunched up it makes for a beautiful soft mattress. My people in former Bendel state ought to know this.

Ok.


My great grandma had a room inside her husband's house who married many a wife.

But till the house was pulled down and replaced by modern house,I had never taken a look at what were inside the house.


I wish I had taken a look at the house which was built before Europeans came to Nigeria.
