Etymology
Etymology tree Arabic طَرَحَ (ṭaraḥa) Arabic مَطْرَح (maṭraḥ)bor. Old French matrasbor. Middle English materas English mattress From Middle English materas, from Old French matras, from Arabic مَطْرَح (maṭraḥ, “place where something is thrown”), from طَرَحَ (ṭaraḥa, “to throw”). Compare divan, from Persian via Turkish (both of Middle Eastern origin, due to the local custom of lying on padding on floor being foreign to Europeans).
