A coffin in the Riften Hall of the Dead.
Coffins are objects used to store the dead. They are usually found in Halls of the Dead, in ancient crypts, or caves.
Vampires are known to sleep in coffins, but it is possible for a non-vampire character to sleep in one as well. With Dawnguard, sleeping in a coffin as a vampire or Vampire Lord will apply the "Vampiric Blood Rested" bonus that grants a 10% Resist Magic effect for eight in-game hours.

Crafting[]
In The Elder Scrolls V: Hearthfire, coffins are a craftable piece of furniture for a mansion. They are automatically placed in the cellar. For the option to build a coffin to appear, one needs to be a vampire.
Contents[]
Most coffins are usually empty, though uncommonly may contain items such as bone meal, gold, and clothing. Rarely, they may contain weapons, armor, potions, or other valuable items.
Imperial Luck and Prowler's Profit have no effect on the contents of coffins.
