 * The bed is 1m*0.7m*2m and you can not walk onto it.
 * Trying to use it during the day, will give you a message saying "You can only sleep at night."
 * Breaking the blocks under the bed will not destroy it.
 * Beds are not stackable in the inventory.

Crafting
The bed may only be used during the night, and when used you automatically go to the next day unless there is a possible way for a hostile mob to get to the bed's location. In that case, the player will wake up with a mob nearby and no time will have passed.

Trivia

 * With the first update of Beta 1.3 a player spawned with a full stack of torches, a diamond pick, a diamond shovel, a diamond axe, and a stack of 63 beds and a single bed.
