..thinking he will put it out in his bedless home, but no!
He didn't.
Why didn't he?

Sending a gift is no guarantee that they'll display, replace or wear it. It will stay in their inventory until they trade it with another villager, put it in Re-tail or try to sell or gift it to you. I've noticed that, if they replace something, they'll only replace 1 item even if I send multiple letters at a given time.
If you really want them to replace something you'll have to wait for them to say the "I want to replace X" or "Show me an item for my room", or something similair. Wait for them to enter their home and than offer the new item. Save & Continue before you do so because they sometimes will replace a different piece of furniture. I've had to reset about 12 times before Ankha finally replaced the right item with the throne I gave her.
Another option you could try is keep sending a bed ever mail round. One with the 9AM mail, one with the 5PM mail, and another one with the 9AM mail if he didn't place it in his room yet. You don't have to wait for their reply letter.
I send him 4 of the sleek beds...none are put in. The heck?
One time, Gabi replaced her bed with a large basketball hoop. I think she got rid of it now, but it was ridiculous. Why would she give up sleeping in a nice bed for basketball?But that's the whole point, I want him to replace that large basketball thing with a bed...
