Is it normal i find old beds to be disgusting?

I see an old bed and I literally shudder. I'm not talking about an old, unused guest bedroom. I mean, old historical beds. I recently went on a chateau tour in France and I saw A LOT of beds and just imagined how many people were born and died under those covers. I then imagined if I had to sleep in one of those beds and I almost threw up.

I like the aesthetic appeal of old furniture but the idea of old beds and comforters is nauseating. Is this normal?

      • Don't worry, they are sterilized and the bedding is bleached.

  • Just imagine.. how many loads have been spilled there. Especially in france.. omg, u could probably take a forensic team that gets trace evidence and find sperm dna from literally hundreds of loads that have flown in every direction in that chateau..

  • I don't like sleeping in the old bed in my grandmothers house because it's often infested with bugs :-S Earwigs, apparently.

    I get what you're saying about old beds, though. If I thought about that long enough, I think I'd feel sick, too :(

  • A man died on the footpath about 65 metres from my office at work. I had just washed my car at 3am and sped around the block to dry most of the water off and I saw him laying there. I just thought he was just passed out but 2 hours later he was still there and sure enough he was dead. There's a stain on the pavement and I would feel weird sleeping there now so I see what you mean.

  • That's normal. Some people just have their opinions on what they find gross/disgusting and yours happens to be the beds. No worries.
