The Ultimate Guide to Gaming Beds: Why Your Kids Will Love Them

What is a Gaming Bed?

The number one question we are always asked at X Rocker is, what is a Gaming Bed? A Gaming Bed is a thoughtfully designed piece of furniture that brings all of the comforts you would usually expect from a bed, but with a few added extra's to make life easier, tidier and more fun for gamers.

Gaming beds usually incorporate designs from top video game franchises, such as Super Mario, that brings the joy of video games to life right into your children's bedroom. So, besides the design, what else is there to learn and know about Gaming Beds? This guide has everything you need to know about what a gaming bed features, who it's for and why you should consider one over a boring old contemporary one!

What are the Features of a Gaming Bed?

Gaming Beds are thoughtfully designed at X Rocker by gamers, for gamers. Gaming Beds at X Rocker feature subtle designs that you may not appreciate at first glance, as well as cool designs that will literally light up your gaming space.

The Oracle RGB TV Gaming Bed is the pinnacle of hosting every top-end feature of a gaming bed, whilst actually still being very affordable. Examples include integrated LED lighting into the headboard, as well as a rotating TV Mount that not only saves space, but will allow you or your child the ability to game in bed AND out of it.

Want to know what that subtle design is? The Oracle features an underbed storage tray that has been suitably designed for the latest games consoles, meaning you can keep your cables hidden and tidy, whilst keeping your consoles safe, away from sight AND cool due to the mesh tray.

Other gaming beds feature integrated wireless charging, built-in audio, an overhead projector and even headphone and controller hooks!

Are Gaming Beds Better than Children's Beds?

If you're primarily looking for a specific type of bed, such as a fluffy children's bed with ears on or one that's plain wood or with an aesthetic that suits your space - then the answer in this regard is no. A gaming bed in this case would not neccessarily be better unless it suits your specific personal circumstances. Again, if you're looking for a bed that's safe and comfortable - then beside the mattress that you buy, the answer again is 'not neccessarily' - although generally the upholstery is padded on an X Rocker bed, which helps with safety and comfort, and all X Rocker beds are tested under child safety regulations.

So what do Gaming Beds offer that makes them "Better" than a standard bed? Well, for a start they are huge space savers due to their variety of storage solutions for apparel, accessories and consoles. They are also super unique, boasting LED lighting directly into the headboard and footboard, offering RGB lights unlike any other. Finally, their specifically tailored stitching means that they are made to be familiar to gamers, boasting dark yet cool colours that are recognisable and very envious!

Are Gaming Beds Good?

Gaming bed's are definitely good! Although the name may give the bed a negative connotation, such as implying a child or adult will never get out of bed because they are playing games - that's absolutely not the case.

Gaming is a huge part daily lives for Millenials and Gen Z, so gaming beds are designed to provide unique solutions for a gaming lifestyle, such as hidden cable tidies, space saving solutions for tiny spaces and TV mounts.

What Type of Gaming Beds are there?

Gaming beds come in many shapes and sizes, but primarily Gaming Beds are High Sleepers, Ottomans and TV Beds. This is because each of these types of beds allow for improving a gaming lifestyle to provide the ultimate need for your demand!

For example, Ottoman Beds are ideal because they allow the storing of accessories and gaming peripherals.
