Se’if 1א׳

נוֹהֲגִים שֶׁלֹּא לְהָנִיחַ תְּפִלִּין בְּתִשְׁעָה בְּאָב שַׁחֲרִית, וְלֹא טַלִּית, אֶלָּא לוֹבְשִׁים טַלִּית קָטָן תַּחַת בְּגָדָיו בְּלֹא בְּרָכָה; וּבְמִנְחָה מְנִיחִים צִיצִית וּתְפִלִּין, וּמְבָרְכִים עֲלֵיהֶם.

The laws of tefillin and tzitzit on Tisha b'Av, contains 2 paragraphs: We are accustomed not to put on tefillin or a tallit on Tisha b'Av in the morning, but rather to put on a small tallit under clothes, and not make a blessing. And during mincha we put on tzitzit and tefillin and bless them.

Se’if 2ב׳

יֵשׁ מִי שֶׁנּוֹהֵג לִשְׁכַּב בְּלֵיל תִּשְׁעָה בְּאָב מֻטֶּה עַל הָאָרֶץ, וּמֵשִׂים אֶבֶן תַּחַת רֹאשׁוֹ. הַגָּה: וְיֵשׁ לְאָדָם לְהִצְטַעֵר בְּעִנְיַן מִשְׁכָּבוֹ בְּלֵיל תִּשְׁעָה בְּאָב, שֶׁאִם רָגִיל לִשְׁכַּב בְּב' כַּרִים לֹא יִשְׁכַּב כִּי אִם בְּאֶחָד (תּוֹסָפוֹת סוֹף תַּעֲנִית); וְיֵשׁ בְּנֵי אָדָם מְשִׂימִים אֶבֶן תַּחַת מְרַאֲשׁוֹתֵיהֶם, זֵכֶר לְמַה שֶּׁנֶּאֱמַר: וַיִּקַּח מֵאַבְנֵי הַמָּקוֹם (בְּרֵאשִׁית כח, יא) שֶׁרָאָה הַחֻרְבָּן (מָרְדְּכַי דְּמוֹעֵד קָטָן). מִיהוּ עֻבָּרוֹת שֶׁאֵינָן יְכוֹלִין לְהִצְטַעֵר, אֵינָן חַיָּבוֹת בְּכָל אֵלֶּה (תּוֹסָפוֹת). וִימַעֵט אָדָם מִכְּבוֹדוֹ וּמֵהֲנָאָתוֹ בְּתִשְׁעָה בְּאָב בְּכָל מַה שֶּׁאֶפְשָׁר.

There are those who are accustomed on the night of Tisha b'Av to sleep spread on the ground and to place a stone beneath their heads. Rema: and these are to pain a person regarding their lying down on Tisha b'Av; if a person is accustomed to lie with two pillows they will lie [on Tisha b'Av] with one. {Tosafot, end of Ta'anit} And there are those people who place a stone under their heads to remember what is said, "He took from one of the stones of that place" (Genesis 28:11) that had seen the destruction {Mordechai on Moed Katan}. Pregnant women, who are not able to cause themselves pain, are not obligated in any of this [Tosafot] And a person should decrease their honour and enjoyment on Tisha b'Av in all that is possible.]
