Bring 3 Yellow Wool and 3 Planks to a Crafting Table and you have a Yellow Bed. In the grid that is three Yellow Wool filling the top row and three Planks filling the bottom row. The grid returns 1 Yellow Bed. You cannot stack Yellow Beds: one per slot, however many you carry.

Yellow Bed Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Yellow Bed is minecraft:yellow_bed. In commands the namespace may be left off, so yellow_bed works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p yellow_bed
Give several at once
/give @p yellow_bed 5
Give it to a named player
/give Steve yellow_bed 1

Cheats have to be on for Yellow Bed to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
