A rocking bed comprising a slider-crank mechanism comprising a rotary drive and at least one four-bar linkage comprising a frame with two cranks pivotably mounted thereon via a first pivot and a second pivot, and a movable linkage pivotably connected to the cranks via a third pivot and a fourth pivot. A connecting rod of the slider-crank mechanism is pivotably connected to a support structure of the rocking bed via a sixth pivot, wherein there is a pivotable connection between the movable linkage and the support structure of the rocking bed via a fifth pivot, via which a movement of the support structure can be guided along a horizontal direction. The rotary drive has a control unit configured to realize a revolution operation of a crank of the slider-crank mechanism. A method and a computer program for operating such a rocking bed are also provided.
