When I was about three my godmother came to visit us from Africa for a few weeks. We didn't have an extra bed, so she opted to sleep on one of those bumpy, foam pads people sometimes put underneath their sheets.
I was completely amazed that she was able to sleep on spikes and assumed everyone from Africa did so. I refused to touch her bed.
