The bed is a type of furniture or a small, pre-built construction that frequently appears in houses and cabins, with some variants appearing in other buildings and even in some caves. Beds can be used to restore Fatigue by Sleeping and grant a Warmth bonus while being used.
Overview[]
Planning exploratory travel, especially if the player chooses not to bring along a Bedroll, requires careful consideration of bed locations (especially higher-level Survival Mode difficulties) since not all houses/caves have beds, and no bed variants can be broken down, moved, or crafted. Additionally, sleeping is one of the only ways to restore fatigue and recover significant amounts of Condition, and, no matter how tired, the player cannot sleep directly on the floor or on non-bed furniture such as couches or chairs.
While the player may sleep in a Bedroll, Snow Shelter, or certain Vehicle interiors instead of a bed, these other options may not be available, or may be impossible to craft early in game. Using any of these alternatives also often comes with a higher risk of freezing or being attacked by predators.
Variants[]
There are several variants of bed, some found only in specific types of locations, and each providing a different amount of Warmth when slept in.
- Full (most often found in houses) will provide + 8 °C ( +14.4 °F )
- Twin (most often found in houses) will provide + 5 °C ( +9 °F )
- Cot (often found in cabins or remote buildings) will provide + 5 °C ( +9 °F )
- Bunk (usually in cabins or other remote structures) will provide + 3 ~ 6 °C ( +5.4 ~ 10.8 °F )
- Mattress/Blanket (found on the floor in some large industrial or community buildings) will provide + 3 ~ 5 °C ( +5.4 ~ 9 °F )
- Hay (found in some barns/outbuildings) will provide + 2 °C ( +3.6 °F )
- Tuffet (a makeshift bed made of conifer branches and leaves often found in caves) will provide + 2 °C ( +3.6°F )
- Medical Cot (found inside the crashed Final Approach helicopter) will provide + 2 °C ( +3.6°F )
- "Beds" (a blanket and pillow thrown over a cardboard box, found in abandoned Prepper Caches and trailers) will provide + 2 °C ( +3.6°F )
Trivia[]
- Car, Truck, Tractor, Airplane, Helicopter, and Earth Mover interiors can also be used as beds with or without a bedroll by opening the Radial Menu, selecting "campcraft", and selecting "sleep". Sleeping in a Vehicle does not provide much of a Warmth bonus unless you have a Bedroll.
- The region with the fewest beds is the Hushed River Valley, where pre-built beds can only be found in Bunker Gamma and the Prepper Cache.
