A rope bed is a type of platform bed in which the sleeper (and mattress) is supported by a lattice of rope, rather than wooden slats. In cold climates, a rope bed would be topped with one or more insulating paillasses or bedticks, which would traditionally be stuffed with straw, chaff, or down feathers.
