==Summary==
Few pieces of furniture are seen so central to our homes or at least to our personal space today. The bed represents the piece of furniture that, for many of us, we might spend more time than any other piece of furniture. However, the bed has had functional and spiritual roles far beyond its basic prupose. It has represented the entire life cycle, from giving life to being our final resting place. In other cultures, it is part of furniture that can be re-utilized for other functions, such as tables and chairs. Beds have varied from furniture to prominently displace to furniture that is hidden or put away during waking hours. In effect, the bed reflects the wide variety and attitudes present in human societies for sleep, sex, public display, social activity, and status.
