Beds were a bit hammock-like -- ie straw mattress slung on ropes between a wooden frame, then if you could afford it a feather mattress on top. So if you lay flat you'd end up in a ball in the middle of the hammock. To remedy this people seem to have slept by bracing their feet gaist the footrail of the bed and piling pillows behind their backs / heads, so effectively in a zig-zag position. Very good if you have back trouble I'm told.
