Player's bed that villagers cannot claim

In a village where you have your desired amount of villagers (and their respective beds), you should be able to put down a bed that, once you have slept on, becomes YOUR bed, which the villagers should not recognise and therefore will not breed to occupy it.

 

In other words, a bed used by the player should become a non valid bed in the villager breeding mechanics.

 

I understand this would be tricky if you sleep in another bed to change your spawn point, but maybe keep this feature separate from spawn point setting? It might also cause confusion for players who don't know this and use a villager's bed, since this villager would then go crazy trying to find a new bed, not sure how to fix this, maybe a chat message saying [Player] has claimed bed at [coords].

  This NEEDS more votes and to be implemented in some fashion or another.

  The new villager sleep system drives me crazy. Every evening some rude villager comes to occupy my bed. So every evening I had to remove bed, place it again and be quicker than the villager.

  I have had my bed stolen 50 times by a Cartographer. Hopefully, the Minecraft team implements this with the next patch.

  Maybe make it so that villagers cannot claim renamed beds/workstations. That way players can just rename their own bed as well as any work stations they are using for astetic purposes. You could have a barrel based storage system in your house for example without having to worry about villagers becoming fishermen.

  Better idea:

   

  If you place a sign on a bed, on the sign will appear the your name and the bed is yours

  Here's another idea; have the villager AI detect if the player's re-spawn point is on the same coordinates as the bed.

  Or, better yet, make the bed store in it's NBT data who slept in it, and make it keep that data when picked up and just have the villagers read that. 

  I decided to make my house a village after freeing a few zombie villagers. Not long after that, they started multiplying every time I made a new bed to sleep in. So annoying!

  This is definitely a needed feature. When working with my village it is impossible to leave my beds placed without the villagers breeding. I play a lot of multiplayer as well and I like to leave beds in lots of places so we never have an issue going to sleep. Also, I want the villagers to spawn an iron golden and I'm not sure if I understand this mechanic correctly but I think I need at least 10 villagers and 21 beds. I don't want 21 villagers but if I place more beds they will automatically breed. It could be done through naming the beds, or putting signs or another method but something should definitely be done to address this issue.

  I think Unknown Dobo has the right idea.  Renaming a bed or workstation should keep villagers from claiming it.  This actually makes so much sense that I assumed it might work that way and tried it out... alas, no.  
  
  With things as they stand, players are being encouraged to NOT make their home in a village (or make a village in their home).  I'm pretty sure this was not the intent.
  
  I don't know the relevant bit of the code, but it does seem like it may be an easy check to add.  The chances it will break anything in existing worlds is also pretty minuscule.

  What if the made it if you put a specific block under the bed then villagers wouldn’t be able to detect/sleep in it?..

  Oh my god, not only that, the Villagers will try to go to your bed location despite being blocked off. This results villagers constantly breeding because this villager is away from the village border. Mojang, please make this happen.

  This would be useful because I’m tired of kicking villagers out of my bed
