If they had a wooden bed to sleep on up off of the floor, it was a lot. They didn't just go down to their local Target, Walmart, or IKEA and buy a bed. They had to make it and that meant cutting trees down, sawing them up and putting it all together. Even if they did all of that, having a nice mattress or comforter and sheets was a luxury.
In one cabin, there was nothing more than a straw bed on a dirt floor. Imagine that! I know some in this world still live in those conditions. In the United States, we don't even consider these conditions. It doesn't even enter our consciousness most of the time. We are often oblivious to what occurs in our world, unless it is a newscast on the TV.
