Do gaming beds come with a mattress?
Published
Short answer: Usually not. Most gaming beds are sold as frames, so you need to buy a mattress of the stated size and within the maximum depth. The product page tells you what is included.
Mattress questions come up with every bed, and with raised gaming beds the mattress choice matters for safety too.
Getting the mattress right
Gaming beds use standard UK mattress sizes, but the depth you can safely use is set by the bed, not the mattress. Most product pages list the mattress size and a maximum mattress depth; stay within it, particularly on a raised bed where the guard rail height depends on it. Many gaming beds are sold without a mattress, so check what is included before ordering. If the room will double as a sleepover space, look at beds with a pull-out drawer or trundle and check the mattress depth that drawer can take.
Planning a budget without surprises
Prices on gaming furniture vary with size, materials and what is built in, such as desks, wardrobes, LED lighting or TV mounts. Compare like for like: a high sleeper that includes a desk and storage may replace two or three separate pieces. Remember to budget for a mattress if one is not included, and check the gaming furniture sale for current offers. Prices on product pages are the live ones at the time you order.
Delivery and assembly
Most gaming beds and desks arrive flat-packed for self assembly; the assembly line on each product page tells you what to expect, and some high sleepers list the floor space needed while building them. Build larger pieces in the room where they will stay, as a finished high sleeper is unlikely to fit through a doorway in one piece. Have two adults for raised beds, follow the instructions in order, and retighten fixings after the first few weeks. Delivery details are in our delivery FAQ.
