bed
There are many varieties of beds:
- An adjustable bed is a bed that can be adjusted to a number of different positions
- An air bed uses an air-inflated mattress, sometimes connected to an electric air pump and having firmness controls. This bed can also be rolled up and packed, so is meant for travel use.
- A bassinet is a bed specifically for newborn infants.
- A box-bed is a bed having the form of a large box with wooden roof, sides, and ends, opening in front with two sliding panels or shutters; often used in cottages in Scotland: sometimes also applied to a bed arranged so as to fold up into a box.
- A brass bed, constructed from brass or brass-plated metal.
- A bunk is a bed used in a confined space.
- A bunk bed is two or more beds one atop the other.
- A captain’s bed (also known as a chest bed or cabin bed) is a platform bed with drawers and storage compartments built in underneath.
- A camp bed (also cot) is a simple, temporary, portable bed used by armies and large organizations in times of crisis.
- A canopy bed is similar to a four poster bed, but the posts usually extend higher and are adorned or draped with cloth, sometimes completely enclosing the bed.
- A curtained bed is luxury bed with curtains.
- A daybed is a couch that is used as a seat by day and as a bed by night.
- A futon is a traditional style of Japanese bed that is also available in a larger Western style.
- A four poster bed is a bed with four posts, one in each corner, that support a tester.
- A hammock is a piece of suspended fabric.
- A hideaway bed, invented by Sarah E. Goode in response to the needs of apartment-dwellers, folds up into another piece of furniture, such as a shelf or desk, when not in use.
- A hospital bed is specifically designed to facilitate convalescence, traditionally in a hospital or nursing facility, but increasingly in other settings, such as a private residence. Modern hospital beds commonly have wheels to assist in moderate relocation, but they are larger and generally more permanently placed than a gurney. The hospital bed is also a common unit of measurement for the capacity of any type of inpatient medical facility, though it is just as common to shorten the term to bed in that usage.

- A pallet is a thin, lightweight mattress.
- A platform bed is a mattress resting on a solid, flat raised surface, either free-standing or part of the structure of the room.
- A roll-away bed (or cot) is a bed whose frame folds in half and rolls in order to be more easily stored and moved.
- A rope bed is a pre-modern bed whose wooden frame includes crossing rope to support the typically down-filled single mattress.
- A sofabed is a bed that is stored inside a sofa.
- A state bed developed in Early Modern Europe from a hieratic canopy of state.
- A trundle bed or truckle bed is a bed usually stored beneath a twin bed also sometimes referred to as a sleepover bed.
- A vibrating bed is typically a coin-operated novelty found in a vintage motel. For a fee, the mattress vibrates for a duration of time.
