Some tent styles are free-standing, while others are attached to the ground using guy ropes tied to stakes (pegs). Tents were first used as portable homes by nomadic peoples, but today, their main application is for recreational camping. Modern tents are usually made of fire-retardant material. Military tents Tents range in size from those barely large enough for one person to sleep in up to huge (circus) tents capable of seating thousands of people. The bulk of this article is concerned with recreational camping using tents capable of sleeping from 1 up to about 10 people. Larger tents are discussed in a separate section below. Tents for recreational camping are generally transportable by car. Depending on tent size and the experience of the person or people involved, such tents can usually be assembled (pitched) in between 5 and 25 minutes; disassembly (striking) takes a similar length of time (some very specialised tents have spring-loaded poles and can be 'pitched' in 2 seconds, but take somewhat longer to strike). Smaller tents may be sufficiently light that they can be carried for long distances on a person's back, or on a touring bicycle, a boat, or even a pack animal. 1 General considerations 2 Parts of a modern tent 3 Design factors 4 Shelters 5 Current tent styles 5.1 Rigid poles 5.2 Flexible poles 6 Older tent styles 7 Larger tents 8 See also 9 External links An example of a simple te..." 2) "Bed" -- As to tent bed 1bed Pronunciation: 'bed Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Old English bedd; akin to Old High German betti bed, Latin fodere to dig 1 a : a piece of furniture on or in which to lie and sleep b (1) : a place of sex relations (2) : marital relationship (3) : close association : CAHOOTS <a legislator in bed with lobbyists> c : a place for sleeping d : SLEEP; also : a time for sleeping <took a walk before bed> e (1) : a mattress filled with soft material (2) : BEDSTEAD f : the equipment and services needed to care for one hospitalized patient or hotel guest 2 : a flat or level surface: as a : a plot of ground prepared for plants; also : the plants grown in such a plot b : the bottom of a body of water; especially : an area of sea bottom supporting a heavy growth of a particular organism <an oyster bed> 3 : a supporting surface or structure : FOUNDATION 4 : LAYER, STRATUM 5 a : the place or material in which a block or brick is laid b : the lower surface of a brick, slate, or tile 6 : a mass or heap resembling a bed <a bed of ashes> <served on a bed of lettuce> - in bed : in the act of sexual intercourse Pronunciation Symbols A double bed A bed is a piece of furniture or location primarily used or intended for resting upon, but can serve other functions, such as providing a place for rumpy pumpy and/or relaxing. Beds come in a wide array of shapes and sizes. Early beds were little more than piles of straw or some other natural materials. An important change was raising them off the ground, to avoid drafts, dirt, and pests. To make beds more comfortable, the top layer is frequently a mattress. Originally these were bags of straw for most people and filled with feathers for the wealthy. Eventually new fillings such as cotton and artificial fillers became common. In modern times most mattresses use springs, solid foam, water, or air. The second layer is the box spring. The box spring or "divan" is a large mattress-sized box containing wood and springs that provide additional support and suspension for the mattress. The third layer is the bed frame. The bed frame lifts the mattress/mattress-box spring off the ground. A dust ruffle, bed skirt, or valance sheet may be used to make the bed frame match the rest of the bedding. At the top of the mattress, to provide greater support for the head, most people use a pillow. Also used is some form of covering blanket to provide warmth to the sleeper, often bed sheets, a quilt, or a duvet. 1 History 1.1 Ancient Rome 2 Bed sizes 2.1 Standard sizes 2.2 Other U.S. sizes 2.3 Other UK sizes 2.4 Other European sizes 2.5 Other Australian sizes 2.6 Other New Zealand sizes 3 Types of bed Further Data On Term for tent bed Internet users who seek tent bed often also seach for: furniture bedroom, flatbed plotter, elmo bedding, daybed with trundle, day bed trundle, contactadvertenties, cholesterol content, bedford regency, bedding blankets, bed and breakfasts inns, cat, beds, big, tents, bed, and, breakfast, saugatuck, bed, and, breakfast, nantucket, wap, content, trundle, day, bed, toddler, bed, set, rustic, bed, macy, bed, gay, bed, and, breakfasts, furniture, bedroom, flatbed, plotter, elmo, bedding, daybed, with, trundle, day, bed, trundle, contactadvertenties, cholesterol, content, bedford, regency, bedding, blankets, bed, and, breakfasts, inns Regularly Occuring Typos with tent bed include: etnt tnet tetn ent tnt tet ten rent fent gent yent twnt tsnt tdnt trnt tant tint tont tunt tebt teht tejt temt tenr tenf teng teny ebd bde ed bd be ved ned ged hed bwd bsd bdd brd bad bid bod bud bes bex bec bef bee bet Commonly appearing connections are : the clearing robert redford, tft 8030, texas powerlifting, texas longhorns football, texas fencing, texas farms, texas college, texas beach, tewkesbury park hotel, territorial inn, tent card, tennis video, tennessee wills, tennessee mat, tender tails, temple terrace, templates frontpage, temp rite, telephone wire, telecommuting opportunities, telecom terms, teel pump Similar searches have yielded these phrases tent bed: cat beds, big tents, bed and breakfast saugatuck, bed and breakfast nantucket, wap content, trundle day bed, toddler bed set, rustic bed, macy bed, gay bed and breakfasts Certain copy here tent bed made available through Wikipedia and the GNU Free Documentation License.
