Look at the picture. This is a room in a high-sky building for children to play. It was designed like in the picture.

enter image description here

There is a wooden platform for people to sit or lie on. Should we call it "a wooden bed" or "a wooden stage" ?

Also, there are many wooden supporting sticks. Should we call it "a pillar"

​pillar: a large round stone, metal or wooden post that is used to support a bridge, the roof of a building, etc., especially when it is also decorative

Two white marble pillars stood on either side of the entrance.

The vertical objects that extend from the floor to the ceiling are pillars or columns. The flat raised surface is a platform.

A stage is a platform where people perform. A bed is a place where people lie down and/or sleep. It doesn't appear that the platform in your photo has either of these functions.
