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 set up, 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.

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 {{k|q}}uery a [[carpenter's workshop]], {{k|a}}ssign new task, build {{k|b}}ed.

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.

It's not a big deal for a dwarf to "sleep in the dirt" that first time, but doing so will create a negative [[thought]], and it will take a while for that thought to go away.  So, just in case more [[tantrum|bad thoughts]] arise later for some unlucky emo dwarf, it's always best to avoid them whenever you can. You almost certainly have [[Quickstart guide|better things to do]] than to dig out the perfect [[bedroom design|housing tract]] those first few weeks, so a few beds stuffed into some random corner should be more than good enough for your first seven.

== (De-)Construction ==
 
−
Because beds may only be built [[indoors]], a bed on the surface will need to have a [[floor]] or [[wall]] built above it before it can be constructed.
 
−
 
 
−
Beds can be deconstructed even while a dwarf is sleeping in them, causing the dwarf to wake up.  See [[noise]], however.

== Bed Assignments ==
 
−
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|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.
