So, dumb question...
When I was younger, I used to spring clean every room of my home from top to bottom. Washed wood furniture with Murphy's Oil Soap and then did the furniture polish in a can that you had to rub on with a cloth, wait for it to dry then polish off. I've since wised up and no longer spring clean, but rather clean things that I notice need it, as needed. Boy, has it been freeing experience!!!
So, my question is, our bedroom furniture is 30 years old and the wood seems to be drying out, not looking as nice as it used to. What do you do to restore your wood furniture, or moisturize it (is that even a thing???). I'd like something simple that will help the dry wood look newer again. Any suggestions???

Use Rejuvenate cleaner and polish. You can buy it on Amazon. My kitchen cabinets are at least 20 years old and they look brand new. I now use it on all of my furniture.

I have always used the Murphy’s Oil Soap to clean and then Scott’s Liquid Gold (the liquid, not the spray) to freshen up the furniture. I let it soak in and then buff off any excess after 30-45 minutes. Our furniture and cabinets look nice after a couple of decades.

I recently used Howard's feed and wax on a mid century couch I rehabbed. It worked great. On the arms, I had to do 2 applications.

This is the BEST stuff ever. Natchez Solution Complete Furniture Care
I have furniture from 1908 (great grandmother's), other antiques I buy, pieces at church that have water damage, etc. This stuff is AMAZING. I have also "brought back to life" an old washboard, toolbox, anything wood. I wouldn't use anything else.

Howard’s Feed & Wax is pretty amazing stuff. It did a wonderful job on our teak front doors.

I second the recommendation for Rejuvenate.
