Contrary to the bundling scene in the movie "The Patriot", bundling was generally only found in New England and had lost it's popularity by the French and Indian War. Cold houses and six-day workweeks made it necessary for couples to devise new ways to socialize. Bundling consisted of a couple sleeping in the same bed, fully clothed. Often, they were sewn into their bedclothes and/or a board was placed between them. uming nothing untoward would happen, the couple was free to chat through the night. However, as the number of premature births rose among newly married couples, New England ministers began to condemn the practice of bundling.
