The bedding of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was similar to what is placed in his grave
(1) His statement: “The bedding of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was similar to what is placed in his grave”: That is, what he spread for sleeping was close to what is placed in his grave, as is known to some people. The shift from past to present tense may describe the state, meaning it was something light, neither long nor wide. It is not permissible for others to place under the deceased in the grave a mat, pillow, or similar items. Perhaps the reason is that it is wasting wealth without necessity, so the dislike is prohibitive. Hence, it is expressed as “not permissible.” For this reason, Ibn Abbas disliked placing anything under the deceased, as narrated by At-Tirmidhi from Abu Musa: “Do not place anything between me and the earth.” What is narrated about a velvet cloth being placed in his grave is said to be because Madinah’s soil was salty. It is also said that Abbas and Ali disputed over it, so Shaqran spread it beneath him to end the dispute. It is also said he wore and spread it, and Shaqran said, “By Allah, no one will wear it after you,” and placed it in the grave. As cited from Al-Mirqat and Radd al-Muhtar.
Note 2
and the mosque was at his head
(2) His statement: “and the mosque was at his head”: With a kasrah on the jim, meaning when he slept, his head was toward the mosque. In one version, with a fathah on the jim, meaning his prayer place or mat was at his head. As stated in Al-Mirqat.

قوله
(۱) قوله: كان فراش رسول الله ﷺ نحوا مما يوضع في قبره أي ما يفترشه للنوم قريبا مما يوضع في قبره، وهو معلوم عند بعض الناس. ولعل العدول عن الماضي للمضارع حكاية للحال، والمعنى أنه كان شيئًا خفيفا، ولا طويلا، ولا عريضا، ولا يجوز لغيره أن يوضع تحت الميت في القبر مضربه أو مخدة أو حصيرا ونحو ذلك. ولعل وجهه أنه إتلاف مال بلا ضرورة، فالكراهة تحريمية، ولذا عبر بلا يجوز؛ لذلك كره ابن عباس أن يلقى تحت الميت شيء، رواه الترمذي عن أبي موسى: لا تجعلوا بيني وبين الأرض شيئًا. وما روي أنه جعل في قبره قطيفة قيل: لأن المدينة سبخة. وقيل: إن العباس وعليا تنازعاها فبسطها شقران تحته لقطع التنازع . وقيل : كان يلبسها ويفترشها، فقال شقران: والله لا يلبسك أحد بعده أبدا، فألقاها في القبر. التقطته من المرقاة» و«رد المحتار».
