As I understand it, humies in the dwarve's time didn't sleep in beds from the fall of the Roman Empire until the early modern era, just bedding (straw/wool/foilage/down) sometimes inside a cloth cover.  Rich people of course kept their fancy beds

I like the idea of carving furniture out of the stone of the walls, but being the craftsman Dwarves are, I have a hard time seeing it being less desirable by default.
'If you can make high quality beds out of stone just by carving it out, why bother with wood', I believe the line of thinking was.

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Because beds carved out of the wall can't be moved, ones carved out of wood can.  Alternately, I might still make wood beds because why not?  If I have an abundant supply of wood, might as well.  I'm just not a big fan of arbitrary restrictions, there's no reason one can't make a bed out of stone. (Bed frame anyway)
