How do you say "bed" in Japanese?

ベッド is romanised as beddo. Say it roughly like "behd-doh" in English. Each Japanese syllable has even weight, so keep the rhythm steady.

ベッド is a neutral, everyday word that works in both casual and polite speech. The level of formality comes from the sentence structure around it, not from the word itself.

ベッド is written using katakana. Beddo is katakana for bed from English, used for Western-style beds, as opposed to futon (traditional Japanese bedding)..
