What is a gaming bed?

A gaming bed isn't just a bed for your little one to rest their head - its ergonomic design provides room for their gaming hobby in a convenient and cosy way. It's a multifunctional marvel designed to seamlessly integrate their entire gaming setup. It creates a dedicated gaming space where sleep and play work harmoniously, with a storage solution that means both can exist in the same space.

Our gaming beds often feature integrated desks, shelves and dedicated spaces for their gaming consoles or a gaming PC. A gamer bed provides many options for your child to make their bedroom feel like their own.

What sizes do gaming beds come in?

Gaming beds come in all shapes and sizes for your little gamer! Our large selection of gaming beds can fit any space - if it's a single gaming bed you're looking for, we have many to choose from that provide a compact yet feature-packed solution. But, if your kid needs more room for a co-op partner or is a teenager who needs the extra space to spread out, a double gaming bed could be just what they need.

Gaming bunk beds are perfect for siblings who game together, as they maximise the vertical space in a shared room. Gaming high sleepers also do this by providing an elevated sleeping zone that leaves ample room for storage options and the ultimate gaming desk.

What age is a gaming bed for?

Because most of our kids’ gaming beds are raised beds accessed by a ladder, we recommend that they be suitable for children over the age of 6. Gaming beds are an excellent choice for anyone who wants their own space to game, making them a great option as a teen bed. By giving them a dedicated space to enjoy one of their favourite hobbies, this space-saving solution can give them more options to store their possessions while helping them express their independence and individuality.

Gaming bed materials

Our gaming beds are made with premium materials to withstand sleeping and epic gaming sessions! They are crafted using robust metal frames, wood, or particleboard that provide sturdiness and versatility with a stylish finish. High-quality engineering wood provides a warmer colour, while metal frames offer a more sleek design. Both are durable materials with longevity and stability to accommodate their gaming setup.

Do gaming beds include storage?

One of the many benefits of gaming beds is their wide variety of storage solutions! They serve as multi-functional furniture, with many providing integrated shelving, which is excellent for stashing away games, controllers, and other gaming gear.

Moreover, some feature storage drawers or underbed storage for clothes, books or extra blankets. If you want to ensure they keep their gaming space tidy, a gaming bed with a desk and integrated storage areas can completely change the layout of their room by maximising every inch of space.

Are gaming beds safe?

Our gaming beds are made with safety as the top priority. They adhere to strict safety standards, featuring robust construction, secure ladders (for high sleepers or gaming bunk beds), and protective guard rails. It's crucial to follow assembly instructions by ensuring all fittings are tightly screwed in place. Always ensure that a kid’s mattress fits snugly on their bed, and also check weight limits to ensure the bed size is the right one for your little gamer.

Are gaming beds easy to assemble?

Whether assembling a single gaming bed or a gaming bunk bed, it is usually a two-person job! Manufacturers provide clear, step-by-step instructions, but even so, it will require a bit of patience and most of an afternoon to get it built. Most come with all the necessary hardware, and some even throw in the tools! You may find that building a gamer bed with a complex integrated gaming desk or one with more shelving may take a little longer.
