What is a gaming high sleeper with a height-adjustable desk?
Published
Short answer: It is a high sleeper whose desk height can be changed to suit the child as they grow. Check the product page for the adjustment details.
Adjustable desks help furniture grow with the child.
Set the desk up for comfortable play
The UK Health and Safety Executive's guidance for display screen work is a useful starting point for gamers too. Sit so your forearms are roughly level with the desk and your shoulders are relaxed, keep your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest, and position the screen about an arm's length away with the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level. A raised monitor shelf can help with screen height, and a desk that is deep enough lets you keep the keyboard and mouse in front of you rather than reaching.
Choosing something they will not outgrow too quickly
Children's tastes change fast, so think about how a gaming bed will work in a few years. A standard single or small double mattress size makes replacement easy, neutral frame colours with bright accents can be refreshed with bedding, and a desk that suits homework as well as gaming earns its place for longer. Check the weight capacity on the product page if an older child or teenager will use it, and look at whether the desk height suits their current size.
Safety on bunk beds and high sleepers
Bunk beds and high sleepers sold in the UK are made to the BS EN 747 standard for bunk beds and high beds. Always follow the age guidance given for the upper sleeping level on the product page, use a mattress no deeper than the maximum stated so the guard rail stays effective, and fix the bed together exactly as the instructions describe. Check bolts now and then because frames can loosen with use, keep the area around the ladder clear, and do not let children hang belts, cords or toys from the frame or rails.
