Quoting%20commentary for Zavim 4:4

זָב שֶׁהָיָה מֻטָּל עַל חֲמִשָּׁה סַפְסָלִים אוֹ עַל חָמֵשׁ פֻּנְדִּיּוֹת, לְאָרְכָּן, טְמֵאִין. לְרָחְבָּן, טְהוֹרִין. יָשֵׁן, סָפֵק שֶׁנִּתְהַפֵּךְ עֲלֵיהֶן, טְמֵאִין. הָיָה מֻטָּל עַל שִׁשָּׁה כִסְיוֹת, שְׁתֵּי יָדָיו עַל שְׁנַיִם, שְׁתֵּי רַגְלָיו עַל שְׁנַיִם, רֹאשׁוֹ עַל אֶחָד, גּוּפוֹ עַל אֶחָד, אֵין טָמֵא אֶלָּא זֶה שֶׁתַּחַת הַגּוּף. עוֹמֵד עַל שְׁנֵי כִסְאוֹת, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אִם רְחוֹקִין זֶה מִזֶּה, טְהוֹרִין:

[If] a <i>zav </i> was lying on five benches or five money-bags, [if he was lying on them] lengthwise they are unclean, [if he was lying on them] breadthwise they are clean. [If] he slept [on them across their width and] there is doubt whether he turned over on them [along their length], they are unclean. If he was lying on six seats, [with] his two hands on two [seats], his two feet on two [seats], his head on one [seat], [and] his body on one [seat], only the one [seat] that was under his body is unclean. If he sood on two seats, Rabbi Shimon says, if they were distant from each other, they are clean.
