Touchable museum samples illustrating the layers of the Great Bed of Ware: the bedcords, a plaited-rush
[8] bedmat, a flockbed and then a featherbed in dun ticking, a downbed in striped
ticking, and the bedlinen.
[4] Flock is unspun fibers, in this case probably wool. The
bedticks stuffed with the softest fillings are laid topmost.
