Whether it's for teenagers who need space to study or children who want somewhere to play, a bed with a desk is the perfect choice to reduce the amount of furniture in their room. Plenty of options are available, from gaming beds with desks built into the frame to mid-sleepers with pull-out desks. Find out more about these innovative kids' beds now!

A bed with a desk is exactly what it sounds like – a bed that offers somewhere to sleep and includes a desk in some configuration. Some might be a bed with a pull-out desk, whereas others might feature a desk built into the end or underneath the frame. They're a great choice for children or teenagers, as they offer plenty of space for schoolwork that can be used for arts, gaming and more without spending extra money on a separate desk.

This also makes them the perfect type of kids' bed for smaller homes or those wanting to save on space, as they offer multiple features in one compact frame. Our blog offers inspiration for creating a study space in your child's bedroom and decorating a shared bedroom!

Children's bedrooms are multipurpose spaces where they play, sleep and study. Cramming all of the furniture and toys required to do this can often leave their bedroom short on space. Choosing a child's desk bed, either pull-out or built-in, is a great option, as you can combine two pieces of furniture to save space.

Having a bed with a desk gives your child a dedicated place to study, allowing them to focus on their homework and assignments without distraction, as they'll associate the desk with homework time. A bed with a pull-out desk is ideal in this scenario, as once they've finished their schoolwork, they can push the desk underneath the bed, giving them more space to relax and play.

We recommend your child be the minimum age for these types of kids' beds with desk:

• Mid-sleeper with desk: Ages 6 and up
• High-sleeper with desk: Ages 6 and up
• Gaming bed with desk: Ages 6 and up
• Bunk bed with desk: Top bunk ages 6 and up, bottom bunk ages 3 and up

Alongside a useful desk, many of our kids' desk beds come with other storage options, including:

• Bookcase/shelves storage: open shelving units for displaying books and other smaller items such as medals
• Side drawer storage: pull-out drawers with more space for clothes or toys
• Cupboard storage: a large storage area for bigger items such as games or blankets

There might be many types of children's bed desks, but only a few sizes will come in. The most common sizes are:

• Single beds with a desk (3' x 6'3", 90 x 190cm)
• European single beds with a desk (3' x 6'6", 90 x 200cm)

Are you unsure which size desk bed will fit your child's bedroom? Our bed measuring guide offers plenty of useful tips to ensure you choose the right size bed for your child's available space, while our bed size guide goes into more detail about the various sizes available.

You can choose any mattress for your child's bed with a desk, but we recommend buying one specifically designed for children. Our range of kids' mattresses will support your child as they grow, helping them reduce the risk of unfortunate growing pains!

If the desk bed you're interested in has safety rails, you'll need to buy a mattress no higher than 16cm in depth. This ensures that the railings function as intended to reduce the risk of rolling out of bed. Our bunk bed mattress collection features a carefully curated range under 16cm.

Are you not sure which mattress will suit your child's new bed with a desk? We've got two guides that explore how to choose the right kids' mattress and the right mattress for a teenager, which can help!
