Even though the whole "sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite" saying more than likely doesn't originate with the rope bed, being comfortable certainly did mean that you needed to tighten the ropes now and again.

Tightening the Rope Bed at Log Cabin Village, Fort Worth, TX from logcabinvillage on Vimeo.
Log Cabin Village is a living history museum in Fort Worth, TX, devoted to the preservation of Texas heritage. Each of the 1800s structures, furnished with authentic artifacts, provides a vivid look at life in the nineteenth century frontier. The exhibits include a water-powered gristmill, a one-room schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, an herb garden, and several log home settings. Historical interpreters depict the lifestyle of Texans in the mid to late 1800s.
