In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes

When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."

I thought it was just the actions of literally tucking woolen blankets in tight back when windows didn't really seal up and you could wake with literal frost or snow on your bed.
