Teenager & gaming beds

Single or small double?

A 3ft single (90 × 190 cm) still suits many teenagers, and keeps floor space free. If the room is big enough, a 4ft small double (120 × 190 cm) gives a growing teenager more room and works as a sofa-style seat for friends during the day. A 190 cm long bed fits most people; very tall teens may be more comfortable on a 200 cm long king size (150 × 200 cm) if there's space.

Gaming beds

Gaming beds are designed around a gaming or streaming setup: think built-in desks under high sleepers, shelves for consoles and controllers, and bold styling. Our own Recoil brand is built for exactly this.

Getting the most out of the room

• High sleeper with a desk for study and gaming in a small room. See beds with desks.
• Storage bed or ottoman bed for clothes, sports gear and everything else. See ottoman storage beds.
• Grown-up upholstered beds in velvet or bouclé for a teen who's done with "kids" furniture. See fabric, velvet and bouclé beds.

Sleep and screens

The HSE says young people need 8 to 10 hours of sleep on average, and recommends stopping screen use at least an hour before bed. A desk lamp on a timer, a phone charger outside the bed area and blackout curtains all help. More in our sleep tips.
