Why the woman lying in a bed not in the bed?

What is the thing she is lying in? It's a bed. It's not a car. You don't call it a chair. You call it a bed. So she's lying in a bed. She's lying in a thing you call a bed.

She is also lying in the bed. Which bed? The bed that is in the picture. That bed. That bed in the picture is the bed that she is lying in.
