OTHER COMMS IN THE HISTORYVERSE:
Now, now. You can't just call it un-comfy just because of that.
Compare it to a 'comfy' home in the same era, which has:
Drafty wattle-and-daub walls and leaky thatch roof
Smoke filled rooms
Rats everywhere
Flea-filled floors, walls, and ceiling
Toilet is a hole in the ground outside
The acoustics in those castles must be horrendous too. Just shit echoing all over the damn place
Don't forget that the benefit of being a noble was sleeping in a big group on a cloth covered sack of hay in some filthy flea-bitten body odor nest.
Sure the toilet is a hole in the wall, but it beats shitting in the moat.
Toilets inside the castle itself would empty into an internal cesspit, sure, but if the toilet was on the curtain walls, it probably empties into the moat anyway.
... don't fall in.
