“Never have a bed that is too soft. It is not a soft bed that gives sound sleep, but a clear conscience. Many sleep very badly on even the softest of featherbeds, while, on the other hand, others sleep very deeply and peacefully on very hard beds. A great many of the ancient Christian ascetics loved to sleep on the bare ground and to place a stone under their heads instead of a pillow.”
Metropolitan Gregory of St. Petersburg
