Can you get a gaming bed with a TV mount?
Published
Short answer: Yes. TV gaming beds have a mount or cabinet at the foot end so you can play from bed. Check the TV compatibility, maximum screen size and mount height on the product page against your television.
TV beds let you game while sitting up in bed, which some players love.
TV beds and gaming
A TV bed lets you game from bed with the screen at the foot end. On these beds the product page lists the TV compatibility or maximum screen size and the mount height, so check them against your TV before ordering. Think about viewing distance from the pillow, how you will route the power and HDMI cables, and whether you want storage underneath, as several TV gaming beds also include ottoman or drawer storage.
Leave space for consoles and PCs to breathe
Consoles and gaming PCs produce heat and need air to circulate. Follow the manufacturer's guidance on clearance around vents, avoid shutting them inside a closed cupboard while they are running, and do not put them on soft surfaces such as a mattress or duvet. On a high sleeper with a desk underneath, keep the console or PC on the desk or a shelf with open sides rather than tucked into a tight corner.
Keeping cables and kit tidy
A gaming corner quickly fills with power leads, chargers and controllers. Plan where the nearest sockets are before you place the desk or bed, use a surge-protected extension lead rather than chaining adaptors, and run cables along the back of the desk or frame so they are not across the floor or ladder. Desks with drawers, cupboards or shelves give consoles, headsets and games a home, and storage under a bed is handy for things that are not used every day.
