A '''bed''' is a piece of [[furniture]] manufactured in a [[carpenter's workshop]] and then constructed on an indoor floor. A constructed bed is the base object needed in a [[bedroom]] or a [[dormitory]]. Once a bedroom is set up, it may be left unassigned (to be claimed by any roomless [[dwarf]]) or assigned to a dwarf. Dwarves gain unhappy [[thoughts]] from [[sleep]]ing without a bed and happy thoughts from having their own, high-quality bedrooms, so building beds is often a necessity for a happy fortress.
 
  
[[File:beds v50.png|left|Top to bottom: wood, stone, and metal bedframes. Once made at a [[carpenter's workshop]], it will be complete with a pillow and a colored blanket!]]Unlike many other pieces of furniture, standard beds can only be created from [[wood]] (beds made of other materials such as [[metal]], [[stone]], [[gem]]s, or [[bone]] only exist in the form of [[legendary artifact]]s created during [[strange mood]]s). If your fortress has no surface [[tree]]s, you will have to bring wood with you, or rely on [[subterranean]] trees or [[trading|trade]] to get wood for beds. Manufacturing a bed requires one piece of [[wood]]. To construct a bed, click on a [[carpenter's workshop]], click on "Add new task", then click on "Make bed".

A '''bed''' is a piece of [[furniture]] manufactured in a [[carpenter's workshop]] and then constructed on an indoor floor. A constructed bed is the base object used to designate [[bedroom]]s. Once a bedroom is setup, it may be left unassigned (to be claimed by any roomless [[dwarf]]), assigned to a dwarf, or designated as a [[barracks]] or a [[dormitory]]. Dwarves gain unhappy [[thoughts]] from [[sleep]]ing without a bed and happy thoughts from having their own, high-quality bedrooms, so building beds is often a necessity for a happy fortress.

In the first season after [[embark]], your first dwarves will want to sleep sometime around 6 weeks after embark (around the 28th of the 2nd month by default), although the exact timing will vary between each dwarf. A beginning fortress might only need 4-5 beds for their initial 7 dwarves, although as time passes and their sleeping rhythms get more out of sync, that number drops.  Although a fortress of 100 dwarves might only need a dozen or so beds to accommodate all sleepers at any one time, by the time a fortress reaches that size, some private [[bedroom]]s will, most likely, be a good idea, and bedrooms can ''only'' be defined from a bed.

To create a bedroom from the bed, first you must {{k|b}}uild the {{k|f}}urniture {{k|b}}ed, then open the {{k|z}}one menu and click Bedroom. You can then either select a rectangle which contains the bed or draw your room by clicking the paintbrush icon and holding the left mouse button to select the wanted tiles (from the Paint menu which is the one selected by default), or click Multi and draw a rectangle that will automatically draw bedrooms from all the closed (either through doors or constructions such as walls) rooms in the rectangle. Finally, click Accept if you are in the Paint menu, Done if you are in the Multi menu. If, after defining a bedroom, you leave the bedroom unassigned, the next dwarf without a bedroom to sleep in the bed will claim it.

To create a bedroom from the bed, first you must {{k|b}}uild the {{k|b}}ed as furniture.  Then {{k|q}}uery the bed, make it a {{k|r}}oom, and use {{k|+}}/{{k|-}} to adjust the size of the resulting [[room]]. If, after defining a bedroom, you leave the bedroom unassigned, the next dwarf without a bedroom to sleep in the bed will claim it.
  
To assign the bed to a specific dwarf, create the bedroom as above, then hit {{k|z}}one, click your bedroom, the icon with a dwarf head and a plus sign, and choose a dwarf from the list.  Dwarves who already have assigned beds will have "Has ''Quality'' Quarters" written below their name.

To assign the bed to a specific dwarf, create the bedroom as above, then hit {{k|a}}ssign, and choose a dwarf from the list.  '''Green''' names indicate dwarves that have not been assigned beds, while '''brown''' names already have an assigned bed.

You can (re-)assign or free (unassign) a bed even if a dwarf is sleeping in it at the time.  The change in assignment will take effect when they wake up.  Each bed can only be assigned to one dwarf at a time, however, it is possible for one dwarf to be assigned to multiple beds. If, after you assign a dwarf their bed, you see two dwarves listed, don't panic - it's okay, they're [[marriage|married]], and will share that bed.  Married dwarves can sleep in the same bed at the same time along with all 34 war dogs assigned to them.
