How do you make a bed in Terraria?

Updated October 2026 · How we answer

Short answerTo make a bed in Terraria, you need 5 silk and 15 wood, and you must craft it at a loom. Silk is made from cobwebs at a loom.

Materials and Crafting Station

A bed requires 5 silk and 15 wood. Silk is crafted from 7 cobwebs each at a loom. Cobwebs are found abundantly in underground cabins and spider nests.

The loom is crafted from 12 wood at a work bench. Once you have the loom placed, stand near it and craft the bed from the crafting menu.

  • 5 silk (each silk = 7 cobwebs)
  • 15 wood
  • Loom (crafted from 12 wood at a work bench)

Placing and Using a Bed

Place the bed on a flat surface. To set your spawn point, right-click the bed's head (the pillow end). You'll see a message saying 'Spawn point set!'

Beds also allow you to sleep through the night if you have a valid house. Sleeping speeds up time and can be used to skip blood moons or solar eclipses, but only if all players are sleeping.

  • Right-click the pillow to set spawn
  • Sleep to speed up time (requires valid house)
  • Can skip blood moons/eclipses if all players sleep

Common mistakes

  • You don't need a bed to set your spawn point; you can also use a bed to sleep, but it's not required for spawn.
  • Silk is not made at a work bench; it requires a loom.
  • Beds cannot be placed on uneven ground; they need a flat surface.
