Are gaming beds with a pull-out drawer worth it?
Published
Short answer: A pull-out drawer adds storage or, on some beds, space for a second mattress for sleepovers. Check the drawer dimensions and maximum mattress depth on the product page.
Drawers under a gaming bed are useful in many ways.
Storage that suits a gaming room
Gaming kit is small, numerous and easy to lose. Drawers under the bed suit spare bedding and games you are not playing right now; open shelves near the desk suit controllers and headsets you reach for daily; and a wardrobe built into a high sleeper can free up wall space elsewhere. Look at the storage line on each product page to see exactly what is included, and plan where chargers will live so cables are not stretched across the room.
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.
Sharing a room
When siblings share, a gaming bunk bed or a twin high sleeper gives each child a sleeping space without taking more floor. Agree who gets which bunk with the age guidance in mind, give each child their own storage, and consider headsets so one can play while the other sleeps or studies. Desks or futons underneath can turn the lower area into a shared hang-out space during the day.
