床 is made from 广 and 木. 广 represents the inside of a building or a roofed space. 木 means tree or wood. In early times, floors and sleeping platforms were made of wooden boards inside a building. From the idea of wooden boards inside a structure, 床 came to mean floor or bed.
床 is wooden boards placed inside a building.
Imagine walking into a house (广) and seeing wooden planks (木) under your feet. That wooden floor or bed is 床.
