“Sleep tight” is an expression we often use to refer to having a well-rested sleep. But what does sleeping tight actually mean? During the Shakespearean era, beds were constructed from wooden frames, with a grid pattern of latticed ropes strung to bolster up the mattress.
Over time, the ropes would begin to loosen and stretch, making the mattress cave in. The solution to this was to tighten the ropes, thus holding up the mattress securely once again. So, sleeping tight meant making sure your ropes were secure enough to ensure a comfortable sleep.
