Red Bed at a glance

Red Bed comes from crafting, and Utility Blocks is where it sits as a block. It does not stack, so every one you carry costs a full inventory slot, and nine of them fill a hotbar row.

Red Bed owes its colour to red dye. A beetroot, a poppy or a red tulip each give one, and a rose bush gives two. On the hardness scale Red Bed sits at 0.2. It takes the same 0.2 from an explosion. It sits between Red Banner and Red Carpet in Utility Blocks, number 264 of 340 there.

Building with it

A Red Bed is the classic one, three red wool over three planks, with poppies, beetroot or a rose bush behind the dye. It is the colour most players picture when they think of a Minecraft bedroom, and it does what every bed does: skips the night and moves your spawn point to where it stands.
