How do Japanese people say "bed" as in the physical bed?


My textbook (JFZ series) gives the word bed as ベッド which makes sense as the
western bed (on legs) wouldn't have existed in Japan a long time ago.

The dictionary also gives 床 and 寝.

I presume young people say ベッド, if not please correct me.

What would old people call a western bed ?

All related info welcome.




If you mean physical bed, then it's always ベッド.

床{とこ} is only used in idioms like 床に就く meaning _go to bed_. 寝 should be
mentioned similarly because _go to bed_ can be translated as 寝る. 寝 itself
means more _to sleep_ than furniture for sleeping.
