    Production

The production of Bed Friend, a TV adaptation of the web novel by littlebbear96, was announced on October 14, 2021 in light of a partnership between Mandee Work, Domundi and WeTV, with Supamongkon Wongwisut and Siraphop Manithikhun playing an on-screen couple for the third time. Directed by Thanamin Wongskulphat, the series has characters in common with The Middleman's Love, another work by littlebbear96, and the two 8-episode series were expected to be produced at the same time, with Sittichok Pueakpoolpol and Jitaphon Potiwihok guest-starring in Bed Friend as Jade and Mai, the main characters of The Middleman's Love.
Filming for both series started on May 10, 2022. On August 15, Mandee Work announced that Potiwihok and Pueakpoolpol had decided to withdraw, and filming was paused indefinitely; thus, the production decided to re-film and air Bed Friend first. Ultimately, Koraphat Lamnoi and Pharinyakorn Khansawa were cast as their replacement. Filming started once again on September 12, 2022 and ended on March 12, 2023. On the last day, Mandee Work announced a 2-episode extension, bringing the series to 10 episodes instead of the initially planned eight.
On December 13, 2022, Bed Friend was announced as part of Domundi's 2023 series line-up and a short pilot teaser was disclosed. The trailer was released on YouTube on February 8, 2023, while the series aired from February 18, preceded by a public screening of the first episode one week before.
Wongwisut and Manithikhun shared that filming their intimate scenes had been awkward at first; they also had to follow a strict diet and work out every day to stay in shape for their roles.
