{{Acquisition}}

[[Comfort]] is a measure of how high a pawn can refill their comfort meter while using the piece of furniture. A pawn sleeping in a bed with a higher comfort value can achieve a higher level. It does not affect the rate at which comfort increases only the maximum level. Comfort levels over 100% have no additional effect.

=== Surgery Success Chance Factor ===

The [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] is exactly what it sounds like - a multiplier on the chance for a successful surgery assuming it is performed in this bed. The base value depends on the bed type with most beds and bedrolls having a base value of 100%, the [[sleeping spot]] a lower value of 70%, and the [[hospital bed]] a higher value of 110%. This base value is then modified by the bed's quality level. Beds of the same type and quality level will all have the same factor, regardless of what they're constructed from.

 

=== Healing ===

A pawn resting in a {{lc:{{PAGENAME}}}} of any quality will have their [[Immunity Gain Speed]] multiplied by {{Good|x{{P|Immunity Gain Speed Factor}}}} and heal an additional {{+|8}} HP from [[injury|injuries]] per day.

== Analysis ==

Royal beds are nice, but their advantages can usually be provided more cheaply and effectively by other means: the beauty by making a [[sculpture]], the rest effectiveness by making several regular beds and rolling for higher [[Quality#Structures|quality]]. Royal beds are practical for [[noble]] pawns who need them (i.e. Baron rank and higher), and for when your constructor has a [[Mental_inspiration#Inspired_creativity|creative inspiration]].

The direct alternative to the royal bed is either a [[bed]] or [[double bed]]. All else being equal, the royal bed's Rest Effectiveness is 1.05x that of the regular beds, +0.15 comfort, and its beauty and wealth are much higher.

*Beauty can be more efficiently obtained with [[sculptures]]. Royal beds have a base beauty of {{+|75}}. A wooden [[large sculpture]] has a base of {{+|100}} beauty.

*Royal beds have more comfort than regular beds. However, an excellent bed with an [[end table]] and [[dresser]] reaches 1.00 comfort, the maximum. Comfort over 1.00 has no meaningful effect.

It's worth noting that sculptures take up a tile of space. Royal beds add wealth and beauty without decreasing a room's spaciousness. With smaller bedrooms, even a single tile of lost space can result in a less impressive room. This benefit should be weighed against the cost of expanding your bedrooms by a few tiles, instead.

The one irreplaceable advantage of royal beds is rest effectiveness. However, you must consider quality. An ordinary bed just 1 quality level is superior for rest effectiveness: a good royal bed has 1.13 rest effectiveness vs. an excellent bed's 1.14, excellent royal bed has 1.20 vs. masterwork bed's 1.25, masterwork royal bed has 1.31 vs. legendary bed's 1.6. Also, the [[sleep accelerator]] {{IdeologyIcon}} bonus ''adds'' to the royal bed bonus, but is ''multiplied'' by the quality bonus.  

For rest efficiency, it may be more efficient to construct a bunch of regular beds, rolling for higher quality and deconstructing the rest. Its often much faster, let alone cheaper, to do so - depending on construction skill.

=== Practical examples ===

A royal bed takes 33x the work of a double bed and 63x that of a single bed, regardless of materials. Counting the price of the gold and wood, the royal bed is 6x more expensive the double bed and 11.4x the single bed. For more expensive materials, the cost ratio is smaller: the royal bed is, compared to double and single, 4.2x and 8x for steel, 2.3x and 4.4x for jade, etc. Using wood, you could construct 11 double beds, deconstruct 10 of them, and spend 1/3 of the work. Usually, this is more than enough to get higher quality. Royal beds are still prettier (and less time than [[sculpture]]s), but double beds have the advantage of not using gold (which may require active effort to find/buy).

If constructor is level 10, then [[Quality#How_quality_is_determined|on average]], you need to make 2 royal beds to be "good" or 8 double beds for one to be "excellent" (with a 1/4 chance that the royal bed will be excellent). The royal bed approach costs 2x the materials and 8x the work. At level 13, you can make 3 beds for colonists: 4 royal beds (two are good, one is excellent) or 13 double beds (3 excellent beds, with a 1/5 chance that one is masterwork), for a cost ratio of 2.6x and work ratio of 11x. Substituting steel for wood makes royal beds relatively more appealing, but only by a factor of 1.42x, still less than the cost ratio. However, if your colonists already have excellent normal beds, and your constructor is level 17 or lower, then getting excellent royal beds is cheaper.

If your constructor is a [[Ideoligion#Specialists|production specialist]], then all quality levels are increased by 1. The amazing 1.6 rest effectiveness of legendary beds becomes paramount: going "masterwork bed -> legendary bed" saves 4.5x the colonist waking hours as going "masterwork bed -> masterwork royal bed". Therefore, even if you're using steel, rolling for legendary beds is worthwhile (despite being 3% more expensive per bed than masterwork royal beds at level 20), and doubly worthwhile for single beds. Also, the 2.5x masterwork market price factor makes it worth it to sell spare masterwork beds.

In conclusion, royal beds are usually not practical for most pawns, which should instead be given higher-quality regular beds (single or double) plus sculptures. Royal beds still have an advantage of being "all-in-one", being beautiful and wealthy in lieu of an artist's time, but is still more expensive. Royal beds are appropriate for (a) [[noble]] pawns, (b) if your constructor has a [[Mental_inspiration#Inspired_creativity|creative inspiration]], or (c) your constructor is bored, you've hit the quality ceiling on your regular beds, and you have resources to spare.

{{Building Stats Table}}

* ? - Integrated into the base game itself.

* [[Version/0.13.1135|0.13.1135]] - Is now gold-trimmed and fancy to differentiate it from the new double bed. Colonists in relationships can now share beds.
