Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2825 Greek: kline

Bed:

akin to klino, "to lean" (Eng., "recline, incline" etc.), "a bed," e.g., Mar 7:30, also denotes a "couch" for reclining at meals, Mar 4:21, or a "couch" for carrying the sick, Mat 9:2,6. The metaphorical phrase "to cast into a bed," Rev 2:22, signifies to afflict with disease (or possibly, to lay on a bier). In Mar 7:4 the AV curiously translates the word "tables" (marg., "beds"), RV, marg. only, "couches."
See COUCH.

2 Strong's Number: g2825 Greek: klinarion

Bed:

a diminutive of No. 1, "a small bed," is used in Act 5:15. Some mss. have klinon. See also No. 4.
See COUCH.

3 Strong's Number: g2845 Greek: koite

Bed:

primarily "a place for lying down" (connected with keimai, "to lie"), denotes a "bed," Luk 11:7; the marriage "bed," Hbr 13:4; in Rom 13:13, it is used of sexual intercourse. By metonymy, the cause standing for the effect, it denotes conception, Rom 9:10.

4 Strong's Number: g2895 Greek: krabbatos

Bed:

a Macedonian word (Lat. grabatus), is "a somewhat mean bed, pallet, or mattress for the poor," Mar 2:4, 9, 11, 12; 6:55; Jhn 5:8-11; Act 5:15; 9:33. See also No. 2.
See COUCH.

Note: The verb stronnuo or stronnumi, "to spread," signifies, in Act 9:34, "to make a bed;" elsewhere it has its usual meaning.
See FURNISH, SPREAD.
