Etymology
The term 'matt' originates from the Middle English word 'mat', which derives from the Old French word 'mat', meaning 'mat' or 'bed mat'. The use of 'matt' to refer specifically to a mattress likely evolved due to the prevalence of mattresses in households for sleeping. Historically, mattresses were often stuffed with natural materials such as straw or feathers, and as the concept of comfort evolved, so did the materials and designs of mattresses. In modern times, the fabrication of mattresses has expanded to include advanced technologies like memory foam and latex, tailored to provide varying levels of support and comfort.
