Historically and traditionally it used to be and continues to be the case for many that an important part of bride's dowry would be mattresses and quilts that she would take with her to new family...there would be two mattresses for master bed, mattresses as a present for her in-laws, couple of mattresses for potential guests and obviously the same number of quilts and even more number of pillows...
Histórica y tradicionalmente, era y sigue siendo el caso para muchos que una parte importante del ajuar de una novia eran colchones y colchas que se llevaría al ir con la nueva familia... habría dos colchones para la cama principal, colchones como regalo para sus suegros, un par de colchones para potenciales invitados y obviamente el mismo número de colchas y hasta más cantidad de almohadas...
