It's the bed itself, but in medical contexts it's just "bed".

  Comments:
Also about the adj-no, I feel we're moving towards not including that as a seconday PoS just based on example sentences in eij and gg5 and 
only use it either when the usage of a word is predominantly adjectival (or it's too hard to gloss as a noun), e.g. [adj-no,n] but not 
[n,adj-no], or, if it's not obvious from the noun gloss, move it to it's own [adj-no] only sense. In this case, I think dropping it seems 
the most appropriate.
