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. |

Ynix: Is it because I said Okonkwo slept on Bamboo bed? Maybe there are other ways they slept. I want to know the other ways. |

Ynix: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. 2 Likes

Kobojunkie: 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. |

Ynix: Concrete or clay? I'm guessing clay. |

lecturer50: 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. |

Ulunne777: 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. |
