Component
A named part of a bed or sleeping system. A component page does not imply that every bed contains that part.

MODEL / SIX DISTINCT LAYERS
A bed is not one category
BEDU keeps parts, support, movement, construction, material, and style separate because they answer different questions.
Support system
The layer or system supporting a mattress or sleeping surface. Compatibility remains governed separately by CompatibilityRule.
Mechanism
A transformation or articulation concept such as folding, rolling, converting, lifting, or adjustable movement.
Construction method
A taxonomy reference for how a structure or support may be assembled. BEDU009 does not infer engineering performance from the label.
Material
A broad material classification. Species, alloy, gauge, grade, finish, sustainability, strength, and durability require separate evidence.
Design style
A visual or design-history association. Style is descriptive context, not a compatibility or construction specification.
REFERENCE / CURRENT STRUCTURED ENTITIES
Explore the current bed materials layer
No bulk pages are fabricated beyond entities that already exist in the BEDU dataset.
Metal
A broad material taxonomy node for metallic bed-frame or component construction; it does not encode alloy, gauge, finish, or load performance.

Solid wood
A material taxonomy seed used to validate material relationships without asserting species, grade, strength, sustainability, or product performance.
illustrative7 explicit contexts
Upholstered textile
A broad material/furnishing taxonomy node for textile-upholstered bed or seating structures.

Woven rope or cord
A material taxonomy node for woven cordage used as a sleeping-support surface in charpoy-type beds.

BEDU024 / OBJECT MATERIAL LEDGER
Object material ledger
Museum object material fields stay verbatim. A generic BEDU material link appears only when the object record already stores a safe materialEntityId mapping.
The Great Bed of Ware
Woodwork with carving and inlay; traces of paint
BEDU preserves this wording rather than forcing a generic category.
Daybed, American, 1760–90
Cherry
Grecian Bedstead, 1841
Rosewood veneer; secondary woods: ash and white pine
BEDU preserves this wording rather than forcing a generic category.
