A bed is a piece of Template:L manufactured in a Template:L and then constructed on an indoor floor. A constructed bed is the base object used to designate Template:Ls. Once a bedroom is setup, it may be designated as a Template:L or a Template:L. Manufacturing a bed requires one piece of Template:L. Dwarves gain unhappy Template:L from sleeping 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, beds can only be created from Template:L. If your fortress has no surface trees, you will have to bring wood with you, or rely on subterranean Template:Ls or Template:L to get wood for beds.

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 Template:Ls will, most likely, be a good idea, and bedrooms can only be defined from a bed.

Because beds may only be built Template:L, a bed on the surface will need to have a floor or wall built above it before it can be constructed.

To assign a dwarf their own bed, first, define a bedroom from that bed by querying the bed, then making a room, and using +/- to set the size of that Template:L. Then, hit assign, and choose a dwarf from the list - the green ones are unassigned, the brown ones already have their own beds assigned. You can (re-)assign a bed when a different dwarf is already sleeping in it - the assignment will take effect when they wake up. Only one single dwarf can be assigned to any one bed, though it is possible for one dwarf to be assigned to multiple beds. If, after you assign a dwarf their bed, you see two dwarfs listed, don't panic - it's okay, they're Template:L, and will share that bed.

Beds can be deconstructed even while a dwarf is sleeping in them, causing the dwarf to wake up. See Template:L, however.
