Claim:
A bed for an infant, the bed having a cradle function, and wherein the bed comprises: a bed structure having a bed bottom and a rim, the bed bottom being configured to support the infant while the infant is sleeping, the rim being located above the bed bottom such that, while the infant is sleeping, the infant is located in the bed structure, above the bed bottom, and below the rim; and two legs attached to the bed structure, wherein the legs are mounted to the bed structure diametrically opposite to each other, seen in a longitudinal direction of the bed, the bed having a length in the longitudinal direction and a width in a lateral direction of the bed, the length of the bed being greater than the width of the bed, and the length direction of the bed being perpendicular to the lateral direction of the bed; and wherein the legs have lower ends, and wherein the bed bottom of the bed structure is located above the lower ends of the legs; wherein the bed further includes laterally protruding elements made of a resilient material, wherein the laterally protruding resilient elements have central portions, and wherein the central portions are connected to the lower ends of the legs; wherein said protruding resilient elements are arranged to protrude obliquely downwards from the lower ends of the legs to a floor so that the lower ends of the legs are situated at a distance from said floor to obtain a harmonic movement of the bed in three dimensions, and wherein the harmonic movement of the bed includes vertical movement of the bed bottom relative to the floor; and wherein each laterally protruding resilient element has two feet, wherein the lower ends of the legs are supported only by the protruding resilient elements, and wherein only the feet of the laterally protruding resilient elements contact the floor while the infant is sleeping.
