Usage notes
Sense 1. To prepare a bed is usually to "make" the bed, or to "spread" the bed, the verb spread probably having been developed from bedspread. Like many nouns denoting places where people spend time, requires no article after certain prepositions: hence, , and so on. The forms, etc. do exist, but tend to imply mere presence in the bed, without it being for the purpose of sleep.
