Breakfast in Bed?
May 29 2013 | Whats New

It was then dried and stuffed into the mattresses. Eventually, Spanish moss was also used as cushion stuffing for Victorian couches and Model T Ford seats. “Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite.” Above, a bed at Oak Alley Plantation, seen in the Gray Line Plantation Tour.
