As another comment has already pointed out, the Prince of Wales was not Regent in 1790. His regency was from 1811.

What kind of mattress was used.

The bed held him?

Trust His mistress appreciated this bed as His Majesty was "performing his Royal duty!" Pity the poor poor!!!

It is impressive; however, it appears to be better suited for a Queen owing to the feminine aspects of the drapery. I guess in this time period it may have been appropriate. To each his or her own.

Poor Vic, the green and purple is horrible 😂 but I guess we’ll have to wait 300 years for her choices to rot before it’s taken back to a nice blue floral and gold
