- The settle bed was made in the kitchen of wood cased at the back with a shelf on top of the casing. The bed case was an oblong box, the length of a good sized man and broad enough to be comfortable. The bed was fitted into the box part and served as a seat. The good house-keeper in the summer and spring left the bed clothes out airing on the bushes in the garden, and brought them in before the dew began to fall.
