Because in those days, the average age of people was shorter - Henry VIII was considered to be huge, and he had a rough height of 6ft. That answers the door question... Beds were shorter because back then people sat almost upright in bed, supported by pillows. This is because they believed that if you lay down flat on your bed, that was the position of the dead, so your soul would come out through your mouth and you would die, or the devil would enter through your mouth.
