why not have the option of setting a bed as shared or not shared.  
if it is shared then anyone can sleep in it.  
if it is not shared a Hearthlng will automatically claim it if that Hearthling doesn’t already have a claimed bed.  
The problem is that I have to manually assign each Hearthling to a bed. and when I get a new Hearthling I have to figure out who doesn’t already have a bed and find a bed that isn’t already claimed.

I think it might just work if there was some easy to see way to find beds that are already claimed. Say some clothing or some marker dictating a bed that’s already owned and when you click on it the menu says “Owned by…”

Otherwise it’s fine how it is imho. It already says when Hearthlings “own a similar (a bed) object.”
