Why can't I say, "fell off the bed" / "fell down the bed"? Are they same in meaning?

What are the differences? How about "fell off from" ?

Hi VT

I did not write that you cannot use "fell off the bed".

The expression "fell down the bed", however, is only gibberish to me.

The collocation "fell off from" might be possible in some sentences, but not in "fell off from the bed". For example:
He fell off the ladder, but he fell off from one of the lower rungs, so he wasn't hurt.
