Cast Iron Bed
A solid bed made slightly more comfortable by adding cotton.
Notes
The Cast Iron Bed is a mid-tier housing object that provides a base housing value of 7.5 in a bedroom room when placed inside a properly enclosed space with at least 18 m³ of free volume. Because each identical bed placed in the same room is worth only 30% of the previous one's value, you will get the most benefit from mixing in different bed types rather than stacking multiple Cast Iron Beds in one bedroom.
