Why is it masculine?

Lits (bed) is masculine because it derives from Latin "lectus," which was masculine in gender, and French inherited this grammatical gender along with the word during the Romance language evolution from Vulgar Latin. Like most French nouns, its gender is largely an arbitrary inheritance from Latin with no meaningful modern rule explaining why it specifically remained masculine rather than shifting to feminine.
