When did beds become synonymous with respawn/save points in gaming?

I’m not old enough to know much about early gaming history, but at some point a game brought about the concept of beds being the place to save and respawn from in video games. It’s not universal, but in MOST survival games and a ton of RPGs you see a bed and immediately know that’s where you can save or respawn. I mean even in games where you can’t sleep beds are still how you set your respawn point. So, where did this concept begin? And more importantly what game popularized it enough to make it stick?
