Beds are a work in progress, they are not craftable yet more experimental at the moment.
I have been trying to get something set up for the large project I am working on, your insight on the issues helps, thank you.
I will make sure to add this to the issue tracker on GitHub so I can keep track of the issues.
I do have an older tutorial on my YouTube channel for 2020.2 if you search "bed" it will be the first video that comes up in the channel search. However, if I used material you will need to do the same thing but with tags instead as material blocks are not supported anymore but doing the same thing for tags works fine.
