Did you know that the expression "sleep tight" came from the early days when feather mattresses were held up, not by box springs like the mattresses of today, but by ropes? If the ropes on your bed were tight then you would have a good night's sleep. But, in order to keep your ropes tight, you would have to use special tools in order to pull the ropes every night before bed!
