Hmmm. Well at least the air-filled leather palette is period. Late-period,
but period.

For those who think I'm kidding, take a look at this file in the 
HOME-SWEET-HOME section of my Florilegium:
beds-msg         (119K) 10/15/99    Medieval and SCA beds. rope and slat beds.

So yes, the air mattress is period! Although it was unlikely to be common.
