sickbeds
Where invalids rest
Sickbeds are beds occupied by people who are ill, or the state of being confined to bed by illness.
The word appears most often in contexts describing prolonged illness or recovery: She spent weeks on her sickbed.
Figuratively, sickbed suggests vulnerability or a setting for deathbed-style drama: confessions from the sickbed, summoned to the king's sickbed.
