Etymology
The word 'bed' has Old English origins, dating back to the 9th century. It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word 'badjam', which also gave rise to words in other Germanic languages. Beds have been used for centuries by humans as a place of rest and sleep, evolving in design and materials over time to meet different cultural and comfort needs.
