Comfort Base Builder
Your comfort level sets how long the rested buff lasts, and that buff separates steady progress from a slog.

Only the best item in each category counts, items must be within about ten metres, and fires, hearths and hot tubs only count while lit or heated. The usual maximum is 22; the seasonal Maypole and Yule tree take it to 24.

How the numbers are worked out
Furniture is grouped into categories, and only the best item in each category counts, so four banners earn what one does, and a throne beside a chair counts as the throne alone. Items are worth one to three points: a throne is 3, a hearth, dragon bed, heated hot tub, darkwood table or jute curtain 2. Pick the best item you have in each category and the calculator adds them to your base comfort.
The formula
- comfort = base (1 near a fire, 2 in shelter near a fire) + best item in each category
- rested minutes = 7 + comfort · normal maximum 22, 24 with seasonal items

Common mistakes
Shelter is not an item; it is the base. Resting near a fire is worth 1, and resting in shelter near a fire is worth 2, the largest single step most bases are missing. Items only count within about ten metres of where you rest, and fires, hearths and the hot tub only count while lit or heated, which is why an unlit hearth in a perfect room still leaves you short.
A worked example
A first Meadows base, resting in shelter beside a campfire with a bed and a deer rug, reaches comfort 5: shelter 2, fire 1, bed 1, rug 1. That gives 12 minutes of rested. The full 22 takes a throne, a dragon bed, a round or long heavy table, a heated hot tub, a hearth, a stand, a lava lantern, a bearskin, wolf, lox or moose rug, a jute curtain, a garland and a pot, all in shelter: 29 minutes of rested.
The cheapest gains first
Because each category counts once, the biggest early jumps come from filling empty categories rather than upgrading ones you already have. A banner, a garland and an item stand cost very little and add three points between them, while swapping a chair for a throne adds one. Upgrade within a category once every category has something in it.
Seasonal items
The Maypole and the Yule tree add one point each but can only be built during their seasonal events, so the usual ceiling is 22. Rested time is always seven minutes plus your comfort level, so every point you add is one more minute of faster health and stamina regeneration.
