Here you go....The bed that Lincoln died in was sold at auction in 1872 along with 2 chairs 2 prints, the bureau and a gas wall sconce. They changed hands once to Charles Gunther from whence the CHS acquired them. The bed was a spindle bed, sometimes also referred to as a Jenny Lind bed. They were good sturdy stock and alot were produce and easy to find.

The Lincoln deathbed later acquired at least one other use. A story in The Chicago Historical Society 1856-1956 by Paul M. Angle (New York: Rand McNally, 1956, pp 228-229) described a February 1948 incident where Roger Anderson was arrested after looting the Chicago Historical Society museum. He was arrested by police after being called by a motorman on a streetcar, where the man was drunk on whiskey and waving two 1846 Whitney pistols, bragging of his duels with western sheriffs. Upon questioning he admitted the guns came from the museum. Anderson stated he visited the museum during the afternoon just before closing time, and hid underneath the Lincoln deathbed. After everyone left the building he broke into gun cabinets. He had also robbed the museum in the previous year, also hiding under the Lincoln bed. He sold the guns to an antiques dealer and each time spent the money "on drinks."
