I went to Birka. It’s a Viking reenactment village. They brought in houses from the 1700’s so not really Viking age. But did have a lot of older stuff in the museum.

One of the thatch roof houses I went in had one of those beds. But smaller. The whole house was about the size of a two car garage. Bend over to get in the door. First thing you see is a small stable. To the left a kitchen/living room. To the right the bedroom. Pretty much just a chair, hutch, and the bed.

Edit: I forgot to mention. One of the reasons they said it was used for was when someone came over from another town. Since travel between cities may take awhile and traveling at night could be dangerous. It might even be a future husband to their daughter.
