• 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.
• An infant bed (also crib or cot) is a small bed specifically for babies and infants.
• An iron bed, developed in the 1850s, is constructed of iron and steel.
• A kang bed-stove is a Chinese ceramic room heater used as the platform for a bed.
