Did you select the room as a bedroom in the room selections menu?
If yes then try putting cabinets and chests in the room.
I always make 2x2 rooms with a cabinet bed and chest, later in the game when I have the manpower I smooth all the walls in the bedrooms too.
This makes my dwarves very happy

Yes bedrooms need a door and need to assigned as bedrooms to work.
Dormitories need multiple beds, a door and also to be assigned as a dormitory

When you start a new fort build a dormitory with like 3-4 beds till you have everything else set up and then make some individual bedrooms for your dwarves

It's kind of a rule that until you hit the population cap, the number of dwarves will always expand to exceed the number of individual bedrooms so this is where dormitories come in.

Build yourself a 9x5 room, put five beds along each long wall, and a cabinet or chest next to the bed away from the wall (the exact position doesn't matter, it's just to add value to the room), make sure there's a door, smooth the floors down, and then flag the room as a dormitory which will allow dwarves who need to take a nap a place to go before you've managed to build a few hundred tiny efficiency apartments.

Bedrooms and dormitories are zones, you have to define them with the zone tool (z)

I actually dont use doors, but I do assign each room a separate bedroom zone.
