Beds don't have an adverse effect on our ecosystem like lawns do
Also beds back then were made of straw and rope, maybe feathers if you were rich. Nowadays they're made of a precision engineered combination of different types of foam and springs, all topped with self-cooling materials, placed on bases that can detect if you're snoring and automatically adjust the mattress's angle and softness to get you to stop. Beds are way fucking better than they were centuries ago. Yards are still useless wastes of space.
Mattresses, maybe. Beds were beds. The basic design of beds hasn't changed.
The point is that some things haven't changed in centuries because they do the job just fine. So, the argument that "this is the way it was 300 years ago, therefore it's bad" is a shitty argument.
The point is things need to change when they no longer do the job just fine.
Then say that, instead of saying "do you dress like this?"
