I was just going to post this - my dear MIL used to do this - when she passed away, we found lots of very old quilts between the box springs and mattress in her spare bedroom - they were spread out flat. Nowdays, the beds are so tall that you might not want to do that - I am short and have a hard time getting up into some of the beds.
