I watched this last year on Amazon Prime before it got taken down, and I still remember it, it is now available on youtube for free to watch. Bed is certainly an interesting experiment; film a movie taking entirely in a bedroom, with the camera facing the bed the whole time. This, actually is what kills the film, the camera angles, the characters are not at all as bland as the reviews on here say. The bland nearly single angle shots on the other hand, really do make this film more dull than it should be. The script, while possibly largely improvised, is not at all bad. Cody Clarke, does most of the duties on this film, I would genuinely call this his worst film, BUT having watched so many awful low-budgets, for a film filmed on almost no budget, other than I'm guessing the cost of the food in the film, it really isn't terrible, a bit dull at times, yes, but it is still enjoyable in spots.
If this was a truly terrible, meaning not enjoyable at all, I would have forgotten i, as I do most of the films I watch. However, I felt some of the dialog, and the way their relationship progresses in the film, is actually not unrealistic. You have one partner here who just wants to have a good time, like all of the time, and not work on the issues, and not surprisingly, its the dude. The girlfriend on the other hand, wants to take some of the time while they are in bed all day, to work out their kinks. A lot of the dialog revolves around their little petty arguments over whether or not they should even talk about anything serious, and the funny thing is, I found this to be some of the most honest and genuine dialog I've heard on what I guess is a pretty run of the mill everyday relationship.
It this doesn't sound interesting to you, really, do not watch bed. It is filled with too much dialog filler on Cody's end, meaning tons of "likes", like a lot. ;P As already mentioned, the cinematography is beyond boring and really does drag the movie down, when camera angles could have been used to heighten the tension in their relationship, and there is a decent amount, they are not. At around 70 minutes, the film simply feels too long do to the lack of differing camera angles, BUT I did love the ending, and Chloe is really adorable, and pretty great actress, she deserves bigger roles.
If you are new to Cody Clarke, do yourself a favor and start with Mute Date or Ramekin, they are made a lot better in every respect.
