The mood of the story "An Uncomfortable Bed" is funny and humorous throughout the story. The narrator's self created fears (paranoia) that his friends behavior with him is strange and may lead to anything dangerous make the story humorous.

Explanation:

Guy de Maupassant's (1850-1893) "An Uncomfortable Bed" is humorous short story. The story is in first person narrative.

The narrator tells that his friends are fond of practical jokes. When he goes to them for spending some time together, his friends receive him enthusiastically. They being close friends with each other are in light mood and laugh a lot. This creates a sense of fear in the narrator that his friends have decided to make fun of him. As at one point (in the start) he says to himself,

"Look out, old ferret! They have something in preparation for you."

This paranoia is the main source of humor throughout the story, because whatever he does, in response to his friends actions, it becomes a joke.
