bed with sponge mattress


Explanation:
There were many different mattress like sponge mattress, wool mattress, or paillasse.

I would not use foam because that will refer completely to something different.
Foam is a mass of small bubbles formed on or in liquid, typically by agitation or fermentation

Foam -shkumë ( e birrës)

foam concrete- shkumë betoni
foam rubber - gomë peshku
Foam extinguisher - fikës me shkumë

Just a thought,

Happy Translation
