The Verge occasionally like to write about gaming thrones, whether they’re shaped like scorpions, semi-circles, or... well, I’m not sure how to describe this one. But the thing with thrones is that the crown often weighs heavy — being MVP and getting play of the game every round can be tiring. Thankfully, Gizmodo found just the thing to help with that: a motorized gaming bed that moves you from the sleeping position to the pwning position with the press of a button, all the while keeping your gaming setup within arms’ reach.
The Bauhutte Electric Gaming Bed and Bed Desk are made to work in tandem: your rig goes on the adjustable desk, which is designed to have a bed placed under it, and the bed frame uses motors to elevate your back and knees into a seated position (though, admittedly, not a very ergonomic one). After your gaming session, you can use a remote stored on the side of your bed to lower yourself back into a sleeping position, so you can curl up and rest your weary eyes. It can also raise or lower the head and feet sections separately, giving you a few configurable sleeping and sitting positions.
There’s also a fleet of accessories. Bauhutte’s website suggests pairing your gaming bed with an “energy wagon” that stores gamer fuel, a combo clothing rack, table, and storage unit (for your gaming peripherals, of course), or even a “ninja onesie 4G” that makes sure you’re as stealthy IRL as you are in the game. Bauhutte isn’t just selling you a bed / gaming chair — it’s selling you a lifestyle. It’s worth noting that the company seems to have been building up to this point: there was a non-motorized version of the gaming bed setup in 2020, and in 2021 we heard about its gaming mattress. Now, it’s all come together into motorized bliss.
While I don’t imagine that this product is terribly comfortable as either a bed or a chair, I don’t think it’s entirely fair to write it off completely. For someone who lives in an extremely small space like a single bedroom or studio apartment, this could actually be a decent way to fit both a bed and desk into a confined area. It could also be useful to people with limited mobility; some mechanical assistance getting out of bed could be an extraordinary help. Read More...
