In the H.C. Andersen fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea", the princess sleeps on 20 mattresses and 20 eiderdown duvets[1]. [1]: It seems to be translated into eider-down beds, that seems to be another meaning of "bed" than I am aware of, oxford dictionary doesn't mention it either: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/bed https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/bed - might have been used to mean beddings? The danish word is "edderdunsdyner" which in contemporary usage means eiderdown duvets.
