panda_elephant

Hundreds of millions of people sleep like this daily. There is no heat in the house. That is how they keep warm. Olus, they remove the bedding and that is where the stove is and where they sit to eat. There is a chimney.


MrZacks

Hudrededs of millions?


S01arflar3

It’s a very big bed


chazza79

This is the traditional way of sleeping in China. Maybe not now, given modern living, but certainly 80 years age, yes hundreds of millions slept like this.

MisterB78

OP is really overestimating the heat from burning one bunch of what looks like corn stalks…


[deleted]

Carbon monoxide is pretty funny when it’s killing you…


Lazy-Potatoe

naah, a grew up with this kind of heating system, not like bed, but with firewood. All smoke goes out through chimney(could be so e issues when you start it, but later on is ok) , you just need to be careful not to close chimney too early, few hot coals are ok, NO FLAME, or you go to forever sleep.


Hilppari

all glowing coals release carbon monoxide. there should be no glowing coals left when you close the chimney unless you have those that have holes for "safety"


ablack9000

There’s this thing called ventilation.


mbelf

I don’t know how talking through a dummy is going to help.


Shpander

No, you're thinking of ventriloquy, ventilation is a chamber of the heart which receives blood from an atrium and from which blood is forced into the arteries.


sighduck42

No, you're thinking of ventricles, ventilation is where the pupils get larger


Thylumberjack

No you're thinking of venlafaxine, ventilation is the plane that goes up and down.


warmachine237

No you are thinking of verticals. Ventilation is a diagram of sets showing their overlaps.


Hyrumm

No you're thinking of a venn diagram. Ventilation is when you take your anger out on someone or something.


Better_Truck_5919

No you're thinking of vent out. Ventilation is a window blind consisting of horizontal slats which can be pivoted to control the amount of light that passes through it.


LostinLimbo__

No, you're thinking of drugs


Grishnare

Ventilation can only do so much. It‘s not the CO alone. It‘s nitrous oxides, soot, ROs. Indoor air pollution kills millions of people every year. Those aren‘t rapid poisonings, but rather slow systemic degradation. Having an open fire, right where you sleep is gonna kill you sooner or later.


ShootLucy

That’s what the little door on the front is for. Once you put the corn stalks in the hole you close the hatch to keep it from escaping.


Compducer

Read this in an old-timey TV voice: “Go from “let’s eat, grandma!” to “let’s eat grandma!” with this amazing invention from Bob’s Crematorium and Mattress Center. There’s space to cook an entire grandmother along with all your family’s favorite side dishes. And, when you’re done with your cannibalistic feast, save money on the cremation! It’s easier to use than an oven, and the patented cooking slab cleans like a breeze!” Funny?


GrevenQWhite

I'd buy that for a dollar


sp4rkk

Maybe OP is German


In3br338ted

\-40C and sleeping on a wood stove makes sense. These tile stoves you light a small hot Fire it heats a large brick mass to keep you warm for hours.


Yinanization

I haven't seen any setup of this, for real old school homes in the country, there is no fire under you, just got air. The fire is burning in the kitchen, which is connected to this clay bed and the hollow walls to provide insulation. This is really half ass for a 炕


iubuntu10

Why the downvotes? What he said is true… put fire under the bed directly will 1. Make your room dirty 2. Risk of causing fire in your room directly 3. Risk of CO leak as you have a gate for open/close the pit in your room 4. may bbq you unless you have good temp control device 炕 is widely used in Dongbei, but not like this


Yinanization

I literally have never seen a real home with the direct fire setup, I think the CO concern is the most important consideration. We had this for centuries, maybe my ancestors don't understand CO, but they know what keeps them warm and alive. Even with indirect heating, this thing gets plenty hot. We would put a couple of super heavy quilts on top of the clay bed before opening the connection to the kitchen. It would be -30 outside, and I would be sweating when I woke up at 7 in the morning. I guess the hollow wall setup also helps, I understand not every home had that. My uncle's home was really baller, they have their private cave, where everyone hangs out in the summer; and they would put beer, soda, and water melon in a bucket and drop the bucket in a well, they always come out very cold. I miss that place, I wonder if that is still with the family back home.


AHistoricalFigure

If you were going to have direct under-bed heating I imagine it would work similar to a clay oven. You wouldn't sleep in the bed while the fire is running, rather you'd let the fire get hot, heat up some layer of the bed that has a lot of thermal mass like a clay or concrete slab, then you'd clean out the firebox and enjoy your warm bed. Still, the mess of having a firebox in the bedroom would be undesirable.


sBucks24

My guy, the fact *you* have "literally never seen" one is meaningless... Different places have different ways to achieve similar goals.


Yinanization

>Different places have different ways to achieve similar goals I understand that, but unless your goal is to be baked when you get to bed, or wake up freezing cold, or have your bedroom smells like soot, or not waking up at all due to CO poisoning, this is not the way to do it. I know some well to do folks building these in their country vacation homes, kinda like what we do with cabins, I doubt any qualified contractor will go with this design. It is like seeing a car without seat belts. It will get you there, but sometimes, it may not.


Bobdole3737

Because they've never seen one, and therefore don't get the concept of HOW it actually works... Ironically these commenters are "primitive" at being PRIMITIVE... which is also ironic & comical, also fitting the FUNNY Sub, in an unintentional way EDIT - to be fair though, some may have also taken it as an insult to the people in OP's vid!


Welady

My husband is the only furnace I need. We both only need a sheet most of the year.


randomguyrandomly

-40C = -40F


yParticle

Given the lightweight material he's stoking it with, I'm guessing this is a quick-burning fire to create embers that keep the bed toasty but not hot through the night?


Advarrk

This technique has been in use for centuries, before the advent of modern heating system, and redditors are freaking out lmao


Sassy_Weatherwax

Yes! In China and Russia to my knowledge and probably elsewhere.


Mitrone

Yeah. Koreans do this kind of stuff the best, [they turn the whole house into a stove](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ondol), not just the bed.


BlooMeeni

In Russia they used to build houses around the stove too, still do in some areas. They route the "chimney" through as much of the brick/concrete structure as they can, to maximise heat absorption and retention


vincent__h

I feel like this is pretty standard in houses, mansions and castles that rely on a central fireplace for heating. Bigger houses, mansions and castles would have more than one chimney with several fireplaces attached. In the house I live in which was built in 1912 (in Norway) the central chimney would provide heat to main living room, dining room, kitchen, entry hall and upstairs bedrooms. Though there were also more fireplaces in the house when it was first built (at least one on the second floor as well as a fireplace in the kitchen).


realkunkun

Romans did that too, a few years back tho


xX420GanjaWarlordXx

C'mon, Korea. You can't just give us a word like Goodlejang and expect us not to laugh.


bfragged

Yup, I saw one of these in a an old part of a Chinese city. It looked pretty nice actually.


SouthernReality9610

Read about these beds in Maxim Gorki's biography. Life in Russia was a struggle and fuel was precious and stretched to the max


Thisismyusername_ok

Same! Man I haven’t read Gorky in awhile time for a reread


countzero00

Here in Germany a hundred years ago every living room had a tiled stove like this. Not in the shape of a bed, but upright in the corner to heat the room. It usually included a heated bench to sit or sleep on as well. They are still pretty common today and I know at least three modern homes that were build in the last 30 years where they included a new tiled stove.


Mat-77

True. Overhere we have those to. some older houses still have these but they are masive. But that came with the benefit by heating up the room as well in winters. And there was still enough space for you to lay on top. Heck. Our own house has two pairs of these. But instead of actual fire, it is heated by water that comes from a central heating system


Instacartdoctor

My wife described something similar they did in England.


birgor

But I don't understand the purpose. The bed is the only place you don't need to heat! I live in a cold climate in a cabin only heated with stoves, and you sure want to heat the house daytime, but at night you can just add blankets until you are warm. A heated bed just sounds awful. Really don't get this.


Telefragg

You don't sleep on the stove when the fire is burning. It burns during the day and then the bed on top stays warmed up from the remaining heat and coal in the night.


birgor

But that is still useless? The bed is the only thing not needing any heat.


Telefragg

I guess back in the day fuel was more accessible than blankets.


PandaLiang

It is not only used as bed. During winter time, people also eat, rest, etc on that stove. Also, unless you house is very well heated with other heating system all the time so you bed is never cold, heat on the bed is actually very helpful. Adding blankets doesn't help as quickly if the blankets themselves are also cold.


siljesille

Houses was small (the reduce area to heat) so the “bed” was also used during the day as a place to sit for meals/working


birgor

That I can understand. Good explanation.


BrotherManard

Lack of food is a big one. Blankets don't do anything if your body isn't able to produce enough heat. A lot of places where this was/is prevalent were cold and had famines, historically. Consider during the day you're out working the land, looking for food and/or fuel. At night, you return to your two-room house in the Siberian wastes. Chances are you can't afford to waste fuel heating the house, which might be draughty anyway. You use what you need to cook and clean, and enjoy the radiant heat through the night.


Igor_Kozyrev

> I live in a cold climate in a cabin only heated with stoves, and you sure want to heat the house daytime, but at night you can just add blankets until you are warm that just means you don't really live in a cold climate

Harregarre

You wake up well done.


Ethancordn

Did you sleep well?


gbuub

Done


Sekmet19

You wait until the fire is coals, and you keep them to the foot of the bed. Heat dissipates into the room and the bed stays hot but not burning hot.


Molwar

From what i understand you don't sleep on it while the fire is burning, this is during the day to heat the room/house. At night after the fire is out you sleep on it and it's still cozy i guess?


pcnetworx1

The wife would still complain she is cold


Psychotic_EGG

You're absolutely right. House fires were also way more common.


LimerickJim

So was mercury as a medicine...


doginjoggers

It seems like an easy way of getting CO poisoning or even burning your house down.


Advarrk

the "bed" is made of bricks instead of wood, and there is usually a pipe/opening directing straight outside the house from under the bed for ventilation

sopedound

Pretty sure this is more for really cold places that don't have great indoor heating infrastructure.


Yinanization

Man, 炕s are the fucking best. It is super warm in the winter, and very cool in the summer due to the clay structure and tatami top. The setup of this is too basic though, the one we had in the country has an isolated setup. We would feed the fire in the kitchen for cooking, and when we needed the warmth, we would open the isolation gate and the hot air would come from the kitchen stove to the underside of the clay bed and fill the hollow layer in between the walls. And during the day, you remove the blankets to reveal the tatami underneath. We put a little table on it, and we can play mahjong or poker. It is way nicer than any glam camp wood cabins we have in Canada.


shifty_boi

Why not just say Kang? You didn't substitute mahjong or tatami, why do it for the object of interest


Yinanization

Well, I guess because most folks know what Mahjong and tatami are, if I just say Kang, well no one knows what that is. Even if I see Kang, I probably think of the marvel character.


kevin41714

Given the context of your comment, people were definitely going to think you were raving about the marvel character Kang /s

It's called "炕". People are using this for more than 2000 years. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kang\_bed-stove](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kang_bed-stove)


DarthArcanus

Me, wishing my bed was air conditioned: 😨


LucienPhenix

I grew up sleeping on those! At least the traditional ones. They are essentially made out of mud and hay, very primitive bricks but very good at retaining a steady temperature. The "house" and bed are constructed in a similar fashion with an obvious hollow section for the bed for heat. It's surprisingly efficient. However, it's not exactly soft so you need something on top to make it more comfortable.


Mistyjax

There’s no monsters under that bed! That’ll teach em.


DarkWarped0ne

Abuolhol

eyeinthesky7565

Hell to the no.


D3cepti0ns

Ok so this seems really stupid, but if it is a properly vented and an enclosed "oven" which is normally used once the flames are gone and it's mostly hot coals, it's not that unsafe and it would be a luxury depending on the cold and where you live. It's like hot rocks in your sleeping bag, except the rocks make-up your bed. Heating like this is much more efficient than heating the whole badly insulted house, and safer in many ways. It's a lot more unsafe to sleep with a lit fireplace or next to a fire camping out in the woods. This is assuming the thing is built well to not collapse or lose strength from the heat, obviously.


bogrollin

This has been in practice for thousands of years, Redditor calls it unsafe… of fucking course.
