====Usage notes====
Sense 1. To prepare a bed (in the sense of sleeping furniture) is usually ''to "{{m|en|make" the bed''}}, or {{qualifier|US|Southern US}} to "{{m|en|spread" the bed}}, the verb {{m|en|spread}} probably having been developed from [[{{m|en|bedspread]]}}.
 
Like many nouns denoting places where people spend time, {{m|en||bed}} requires no article after certain prepositions: hence {{m|en||in bed|lying in a bed}}, {{m|en||go to bed|get into a bed}}, and so on. The forms {{m|en||in a bed}}, etc. do exist, but tend to imply mere presence in the bed, without it being for the purpose of sleep.
