means The plural of bed — the soft, frame-supported surfaces where people sleep, rest, and stack laundry they intend to fold.
from From Old English 'bedd,' a word for both a sleeping place and a garden plot — the same root that gives us a 'flower bed' or a 'riverbed.' It traces back to a Proto-Germanic 'badjam,' shared with German 'Bett' and Dutch 'bed.' Some scholars suspect the deeper sense was a 'dug-out resting place,' which is why a bed of soil and a bed for sleeping feel oddly like the same idea.
