Bed at a glance

Crafting and chest loot give you Bed, a block filed under Utility Blocks. One slot, one Bed: nothing stacks here, and nine of them fill a hotbar. 27 chest slots take 27 of them.

On the hardness scale Bed sits at 0.2. It takes the same 0.2 from an explosion. It sits between Beacon and Bee Nest in Utility Blocks, number 22 of 340 there.

Frequently asked questions about Bed

  1. Wool, Planks going into Bed, the recipe this answer describes

    How do you get Bed in Minecraft?

    Bed is crafted from Wool and Planks at a Crafting Table, in a single step. It also comes from chest loot, not just the recipe above.

  2. Bed coming forward out of the past, in the game since Alpha

    When was Bed added to Minecraft?

    Bed was added in the early Alpha development period.

  3. Bed on its own, since nothing in the game is crafted from it

    What is Bed used for?

    A block used to set a player's spawn point and skip the night. Crafted from wool and wooden planks.

  4. How long does Bed take to break?

    Bed has hardness 0.2, and it has blast resistance 0.2. Most blocks share the pattern on Bed, and it is not one of the exceptions. Being untagged, Bed drops the same whatever you hold while breaking it. Java 26.2 stores Bed with those figures unchanged, so it reads the same here.

  5. One Bed, the whole of what a single inventory slot holds

    How many Bed can you stack?

    One Bed per slot, since Bed does not stack, and every one then costs 3 Wool and 3 Planks. A double chest holds 54 Bed, one to a slot.

Building with it

A Bed is two things in one block: the switch that skips a night, and the anchor that moves your spawn point to where it stands. Three wool and three planks make one, the wool decides the colour, and the same recipe works in any of the sixteen colours. Take one into the Nether or the End and it explodes instead of letting you sleep.
