Which Star Trek bed would you want to sleep on?
Pike (TOS) the first episode of Star Trek brings us the first bed. A basic setup, a single. Square pillow. I guess it does the job but who would want to spend 5 years sleeping there?
Kirk (TOS) I strongly suspect this is Pike's bed with some shimmery fabric over it. It looks hard as a slab of concrete under that fabric, though. An iffy long pillow that would make sleeping on your side awkward. No blanket. 5 years of back pain guaranteed.
Kirk (TMP) here we have a bizarro bed/sofa hybrid (far right) Looks softer than his TOS bed, but trying to sleep with your head on that back rest will be a killer. And the storage above would make sitting on it like a sofa very awkward. Again, blankets do not seem to exist in the future.
Picard (TNG) a blanket!! But another weird and awkward looking long pillow. Resembles Kirk's TOS bed likely intentionally, but softer. Lovely windows but no curtains or blinds, so aliens with telescopes are free to watch what you do alone in your room.
Bashir (DS9) a thin mattress over a metal frame, looks like cheap shit. At least he has a blanket.
NX-01 (ENT) junior officers get bunk beds! They look functional and have pillows. Would not want to be sleeping in the top bunk when a space battle breaks out, though. Imagine waking up in mid air with the floor rushing at your face.
Uhura and Gaila's cadet dorm (ST'09) has very comfy looking very modern day-looking beds with proper pillows and storage underneath. The best so far, by far. Life on 23rd century Earth is lush.
Michael Burnham's bed (DSC) resembles a prison bunk, which was likely intentional considering her season one plotline. But! Proper pillow! Blanket!
Boimler, Mariner etc (LWD) Yikes. Officers get rooms with beds very similar to Picard's in Next Gen, but the lower deckers live in a hallway. Zero privacy. At least Uhura's similar cadet bunk in SNW has a sliding door to give her some alone time, even if it likely feels like she's in a coffin.
Pike (SNW) we end with a rebooted version of where we began, and this time Pike has the bed of a king. Proper pillows. Blankets. It's massive. Windows with blinds. The best Star Trek bed of all, could easily spend 5 years here.

Rating how comfortable all the beds in botw look
PART TWO
Horse Stable Beds
1/10 - would NOT recommend
◍Mattress is uncomfortable because it's literally just hay
◍Smells like hay and horse
◍bed bug breeding ground
◍head lice breeding ground
Zora's Domain Bed
4/10 - would recommend if desperate
◍looks like a building inspector's worst nightmare
◍Sleepwalkers are going to become sleep swimmers
◍Cold
◍NO COVERS/DUVET?? Prison. Only lurelin gets let off about it because it's not surrounded by cold ass water
Lurelin Village Bed
6/10 - would recommend
◍looks comfy enough
◍my only issue is where are the blankets? The duvets, even?? I know lurelin village houses have no doors but like I like to curl into a ball, cause severe future back problems for myself and get warm, ok?
I desperately need someone to take my spine apart and put it back in place like rebuilding a failed Lego 1x1 skyscraper/sword please this is a cry for help
Kakariko Village Bed
10/10 - would ALWAYS recommend
◍Comfy
◍Reliable and sturdy bedframe
◍Silk bedsheets that are always fresh
◍Literally THE perfect bed
I, personally, would KILL for this bed. I would strike down calamity ganon himself.
Paya's Bed
9/10 - would recommend for speed runners
◍Impa would get off her cushion and beat your ass if she ever caught you sleeping in her granddaughters bed
That's it
Rito Village Bed 1
5/10 - would recommend
◍Would have to do some parkour to get on
◍Try not to roll over, otherwise you'll be sleeping on the floor with a bruised arm or something
◍would smell like bird seed (bird food 👁️👁️)
◍Cute bedsheet designs
