One of/ one of the

Which of these two sentences is correct?

One of the beds is too small for me ( I mean there are two beds in my room)

or One of beds is too small for me.

I found in a dictionary that we can use one of the when we make a comparion between similar things.

Thanks in advance

Yes- One of the beds is too small for me. This is the correct way to say it. It indicates that there are more than one and that one of them is too small.
