Hmmm 1. There was a time when mattresses were a sack full of straw. 2.

According to Wikipedia: Bundling was the traditional practice of wrapping one person in a bed accompanied by another, usually as a part of courting behavior. The tradition is thought to have originated either in the Netherlands or in the British Isles and later became common in Colonial America1, especially in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The aim was to allow intimacy without sexual intercourse.

Traditionally, participants were adolescents, with a boy staying at the residence of a girl. They were given separate blankets by the girl's parents and expected to talk to one another through the night. The practice was limited to the winter and sometimes the use of a bundling board, placed between the boy and girl, ensured that no sexual conduct would take place.

More often, this rule was merely implicit, and was not always honored. In Colonial America, for instance, there are known instances of bundling leading to premarital pregnanciescitation needed. The use of bundling boards allowed an expedient use of the practice of bundling in the early United States, where, in the case of a scarcity of beds, travelers were occasionally permitted to bundle with locals.

This seemingly strange practice allowed extra money to be made by renting out half a bed. Hotels rented rooms for the night, shared by many occupants, and sharing a bed entailed an additional fee. 3.

One version of bundling was that the boy would be sewn into the blanket "to keep him chaste". The blanket would form a sack, open at the bottom for necessary functions. Ha.

Watch the movie "The Patriot" for an example.

I don’t think it's a big mystery The 'sack' as slang for bed has been around a long time… "hit the sack"," sack time", "sack out". Early mattresses were just large sacks stuffed with something soft, like feathers or hay. In "in the sack" is exactly equivalent to "in bed" and that has long been associated with sex..
