TOP 5 WORST BEDS IN VIDEO GAMES™©®

Listen to this while reading

Often, video games are designed to be a point of rest in your life, a form of entertainment that is potentially rivaled by the bed, a piece of furniture designed to facilitate sleep, rest, and relaxation.

These are the beds that gamers will call a #EPICFAIL, so give it up for the TOP 5 WORST BEDS IN GAMING

5 | The Cool Bed - Animal Crossing: New Horizons

In a series with some absolute bangers in the bed departments, The 'Cool' furniture series in Animal Crossing fails to live up to the name, as it sacrifices comfort and longevity for the sake of 𝓪𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓬𝓼.  This is best exemplified by the bed of this furniture series, as it forgoes any of the expected elements of a proper bed like blankets and pillows for this leathery monstrosity. Any attempts to forgo discomforts like more pillows and a blanket will sacrifice the 𝓪𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓬𝓼, which completely misses the point of utilizing such a piece of furniture. Just imagine yourself having to peel yourself off of your bed after a particularly humid night and you'll want to send this straight back to Tom Nook!

4 | The Baker's Guest Bedroom - Resident Evil 7: Biohazard DLC "Bedroom"

Most people tend to have a hard time getting out of bed, but in the case of Clancy Jarvis, that's especially the case in this minigame released as part of the "Banned Footage Vol. 1" DLC on 31 January 2017. Players are tasked with getting Clancy out of the bedroom while escaping the gaze of Marguerite Baker, the deadly matriarch of the Baker family. While the mission does involve players trying to find the exit in a manner that avoids Marguerite's vengeful rage, the reason this bed is on the list is because of that pillow count. Come on Marguerite, you're gonna keep a guy handcuffed to a bed and you are offering only two pillows? You gotta at least have enough pillows to cover the length of the headboard. I don't even want to think about what kind of bed bug situation is on that thing.

3 | Link's Bed - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64 Version)

Often considered the greatest video game of all time by people that need to try newer things, Link's bedroom is the starting point for his journey within the Kokiri Forest and the greater world of Hyrule. While I don't want to be too harsh on the pre-rendered backgrounds on offer within this game, I do want to absolutely roast the Great Deku Tree for that logged mess that Link had to sleep on presumably for years. You're telling me that the Hero of Time is sleeping on a freaking oak log with a sheet draped over it? Absolutely not! If only Navi came sooner so Link wouldn't have had to endure the torture of surprise sleep splinters.

2 | Grandpa's Bed - Stardew Valley

Behold, the bed that launched 1000 memes, which is on one part a testament to the dedication of Stardew Valley fans, but also the sheer travesty on display, where to begin? Perhaps it's the threadbare legs that look like they are about to snap at any moment, the strangely lumpy blanket that fails to properly insulate Grandpa's body heat, or the sorry state of the single strangely square pillow, or maybe the fact that this mattress is thinner than a tortilla under a hydraulic press, which absolutely is not conducive to a peaceful death within someone like Grandpa. The fact that this is what got gamers to think about beds as a concept for longer than 12 minutes is a testament to the sheer lack of quality on display here.

1 | The Whirling-in-Rags Bed - Disco Elysium

While this might not be the Worst Video Game bed ever™©® from a literal standpoint, when examined more closely, the bed can be indicative of the inner turmoil felt by the characters of Disco Elysium. Its ramshackle state is brought up through years of abuse partially as a consequence of protagonist Harry Du Bois experiencing the horrors of late-stage capitalism.; resulting in the bed becoming synonymous with notions surrounding reconciliation, redemption, and personal introspection. It is because this bed is so bad and expensive, it serves as proper motivation to seek out better lodgings for the characters in the meantime, and a bed that fails to achieve its purpose of rest is not a proper bed.

So those are my top 5 worst beds in games, let me know what you think in the comments below, and until next time, I wish pleasant years upon your slumber as the world seeks to simulate more elements of everyday life

Until Next Time, Thank you for reading
