As for furniture, the bedouins used rugs and cushions for seating, and sleeping. They are easy to roll up and carry on a camel when they need to move again. As many of the bedouins became villagers, they used mattresses scattered around the perimeter of the room for seating. It is simple, inviting, and comfortable. As a matter of fact, traditional Arabic style seating can still be seen today in the Arabian gulf, Morocco, Tunisia, and Yemen to name a few.

Traditional Arabic style sofas can be placed directly on the floor, or raised on a frame.
