How to sign “Beds” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Beds” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Form a flat hand with your dominant hand, fingers pressed together and the thumb resting along the side.
- Bring the hand up to the side of your head, near your cheek or temple.
- Rest the side of your head against the hand, tilting slightly as if settling onto a pillow.
- Keep the palm facing toward your face with the fingers pointing toward your ear.
- Hold the position briefly with a relaxed face, as if you are ready to fall asleep.
