Etymology

The word "mattress" originates from the Arabic word "matrah", which means "a place where something is thrown". The concept of using a mattress for sleeping dates back to ancient civilizations, where materials like straw, feathers, and horsehair were used to create padding for comfort. Over time, mattresses evolved to include springs, foam, and other modern materials for better support and comfort.
