Use 3 cups of water for each cup of uncooked beans, and you can season the beans by adding bay leaves, herb sprigs, or garlic cloves to the cooking water.

Light/dark red kidney beans: 90 to 120 minutes. Navy beans: 90 to 120 minutes. Great northern beans: 45 to 60 minutes. Pinto beans: 90 to 120 minutes.
