This back bedroom would have acted as the men’s dormitory, with the women’s (and children’s) just across the hall in the Back Storage Room. A wealthier man could have rented this room out for himself but more often multiple male travelers would have slept in here. Instead of full beds with headboards and bed frames, the inn would have just lined mattresses made out of straw or hay along the floor. The more people they could fit in the more money they could make. Despite them trying to fit as many people as they were able, if there was no space to host guests the Fryfogel’s would be forced to send them onto the next inn, which at one point was about a day’s travel away.
