DAR surveys amusing snoozing customs

Would you prefer your pillow stuffed with corn husks or moss? Ladies, imagine shedding that darn corset for the night … then having to strap on a tightly corded waistcoat, custom for the 1700 boudoir? And guys, how about a nightcap? Go ahead, tie one on … beneath your chin.

Actually, those quaint folks of yesteryear had some smart bed and bath ideas, judging by “And So To Bed: The American Bedroom 1750-1920.” Instead of sex, DAR Museum’s new exhibit seduces with charm and wit.
