Attached to this post is an excellent YouTube video of Pakistani artisans creating charpoys (also "charpai"), which are four-legged wooden beds that are woven with tough nylon-thread and yarn. Often, these beds can be used as seats or tables throughout the day. Therefore, it is a cost-effective option for homeowners and it also retains cultural value. These charpoys also come in a variety of bright, neon colors or in more natural tones. In the video, artisans and doctors are interviewed about the health and historical benefits to owning and using a charpoy. With a dry climate and above 100F tempatures, these beds provide versatility as firm and breathable beds that are easily transportable throughout the home. I'm very excited to find this video because there are barely any images or websites available on the topic. Kudos for the online submission.
