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.

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