Bedpiece is a word used to describe a part of a bed. The spelling is phonetically interesting as it has the voiced consonant /d/ followed by the voiceless consonant /p/. This can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /bɛd.piːs/. The /d/ sound is created by vibrating the vocal cords, while the /p/ sound is created by a strong burst of air over the lips. The two sounds together can be challenging to say for non-native speakers.
