Every so often, people in the late 1800s pulled the stuffing out of their beds and let it dry outside on a warm day. This airing process which was absolutely necessary for proper hygiene - was called making the bed. Then, to keep their mattresses from sagging, people crisscrossed ropes tightly on bed frames underneath their mattresses so that they could sleep tight. But the beds still felt like big lumpy uncomfortable pillows. Mattresses greatly improved when cotton and feathers were added to horsehair to replace hay and straw as stuffing in the early 20th century. As time went on, improvements continued with the use of innersprings, box springs and a process called mattress tufting. A patent for the first innerspring was issued in 1865. Twenty years later, in 1885, J.P. Leggett received a patent for the development of a device consisting of a single coil unit attached to a wood frame the first foundation. However, innersprings and box springs didn't become popular until the 1930s.
