It's not a bed it's a crash couch. It's job is to dampen inertia during burns. There's multiple paragraphs in all three books describing how it works. Including several descriptions of it's limitations in the first book when they are chasing ceres. It's able to keep you alive during high g maneuvers at up to 7g. The ships were mostly going well under the limit, meaning they weren't going faster than the couch could compensate for. The ships that were going closer to the limit stop responding after the slow down, implying every one is dead.
