Why are Moroccan beds so hard?
The short answer
Moroccan mattress tradition favours firm, thin surfaces — often wool-stuffed or high-density foam on solid bases. Firmness signals quality. Higher-end guesthouses increasingly stock European-style mattresses.
The tradition descends from the *sedari* — long, firm cushioned benches lining Moroccan living rooms. Wool-stuffed mattresses are dense, flat, sleep cool, and last decades. They're restuffed rather than replaced.
An extra blanket folded underneath helps. Give it two nights.
