Could be a mattress on whatever the alcove there by the fireplace may have been used for. The woman’s shoulders are resting down against something that makes the position awkward.
I tried to find anything similar, the trundle bed is a bed from that time period.
Looked up “tiered bed 1860” lol
Some of these electronic beds could do it today but not like this.
To be fair it also looks like a fancy couch or a church pew with a futon on top.
(Just a guess)
I had to look it up I thought the same thing
Doesn’t look like it but that’s a cool bed regardless.
