A bed is a simple sleeping pallet that is built in a Carpenter's workshop and then constructed on an indoor floor. A constructed bed is the base object used to create both bedrooms and barracks. Building a bed requires one piece of wood. Dwarves gain unhappy thoughts from sleeping without a bed, so building beds is often a necessity for a happy fortress.

Unlike many other pieces of furniture, beds can only be created from wood. The only exception is artifact beds, which can be made of anything. When settling treeless areas, it is prudent to bring along several logs during the Prepare for the Journey screen in order to make beds and buckets. Otherwise you will have to depend on trade to get wood for your beds.

Beds can only be placed indoors. If you are building a bedroom on the surface, the room must have a roof before beds can be placed inside.

Injured dwarves will rest in beds until they recover. They may use any constructed bed that does not belong to another dwarf, including beds that are not part of any defined room. Dwarves resting in beds will recover faster then those left lying around.
