Perhaps at one time or on very small ships, but we've seen beds on Klingon
warships: TNG "Unification, Part I" and ENT "The Augments".
In "Unification" when Captain K'Vada showed Picard to his quarters aboard
his Bird-of-Prey, he slapped the hard bed - actually, more like a sleeping
shelf - and said the bed may not be to Picard's liking, sneering that
"Klingons don't pad their bodies". Nonplussed, Picard patted the bed
himself and replied, "Good. I like a firm mattress." (This may even have
been an in-joke, recalling the line in "Conversational Klingon" {letqu'
QongDaq} "The bed is very hard.")

Well, QongDaq means "place of sleep" not neccsarily bed... Could mean sleeping bag as well... I don't know the point of pointing it out, but i know there is one. lol (sleepyness.)
