Posting the source of this which is from Peter Jacksonβs 2005 King Kong remake because it is genuinely one of the most tense, disturbing, and squirm inducing scenes Iβve ever seen from any movie ever until I saw the surgical Alien abortion in Prometheus.

For a long ass period of time Europe slept on rope mattresses
You literally needed to tighten the ropes on your bed to sleep tight so it was comfortable.

sleep tight
Yah, but sometimes you've gotta air it out.
This scene in the movie disturbed me more than Martyrs (the og) ever did.

He looks happy.
Fun fact here, the term "sleep tight" refers to when beds were bundles of hay that were wrapped by rope.
So when beds were held up with rope to support a sack of hay, a newly married couple would come to their honeymoon location and find their bed has be untied by family during the wedding. They would literally have to tie the knot to get into bed.
Hit the hay, and hit the sack used to involve whacking your hay with a detachable bedpost spire to knock the bugs living in it down to a bowl of oil under your bed.
Bonus: honeymoon got its name from the tradition of the bride eating honey for the first month of marriage to increase chances of conception.

Imagine being tucked in by hotel staff and being unable to escape from the bed bugs biting you.
