Move Your Puny Gaming Chairs Aside: Bauhütte Introduces the Gaming Bed

You may never have heard of Bauhütte before, but they're a Japanese company specializing on gaming-geared furniture. Think chairs, desks and around-desk accessories, as well as a "cosplay suitcase"... Whatever that is. Now I don't know about you, but I think Bauhütte could and should think higher. And I can think of nothing that screams "gamer" more than a fully integrated gaming bed. They've actually done it.

"It's really just a twin bed with shelves and a beanie", you might say, but I think that there is actual thought behind this product. For one, the fact that it's a twin bed shows an extremely nuanced thought from the company - as in, "if you're getting this product, you're likely single anyway, so why waste the space on something you won't ever be able to change?". There are some shelves for your hydrating options and choice of snacks, and there's even a beanie that you can deploy to give you that sweet, 45º upright position that's great at avoiding some drainage issues involving the act of drinking and your windpipe. never mind the fact that the keyboard is shown at a 90º angle relative to the user: there's a tablet support on there so you need do nothing more than move your eyes towards your desired content, whatever that may be.
Putting the snark away, there could have been a much more interesting product here (I think) if the company has designed an actual gaming--oriented bed that was made for people with some sort of disability, aiding them in getting outside their reality )should they so choose) in comfort, even if just for a while. I'll let you come to your own conclusions - I came here just to show this to you. (Oh, and to tell you it's being sold at around $1,050).

The beverage cart and keyboard stand next to each other look like they'd be useful for a living room setting; the cart when one is throwing a private party or social gathering (like a LAN party), and the keyboard stand for when one is using their media PC and shifting between movies and games, and more "gamer-like" than a typical couch table.

The clothing rack/dresser thing in the last image looks like it'd be useful in the garage; hanging a wet jacket or industrial work coat and storing basic items in the bins (say an emergency kit, flashlight, buffing/finishing towels, etc).

...just lacking couple moulting cherry trees in the background :D
All jokes aside, I would see this as a premium lodges in Japanese internet cafes.
Having like this at home is just insanity.

I think they should include a lid, that way, it can also serve as your coffin after you pass on.

Since its a Japanese company, I'd say it has a mounted incineration unit.
To "process" the user in case of untimely passing :laugh:

I could almost see this for someone who may have some disabilities.

Possibly someone with a very small room as a space saving measure.

Beyond that though,......no, just no.

Edit:

Instead of that huge bean bag like pillow they should have just made the bed hydraulic

Just like a sofa and coffee table.

It is actually quite reasonable to buy such a bed if your room size is less than 10 m^2. The Japanese live in quite small apartments and have no place for a desk and a bed.

Not everyone has a coffee table in their living room though. A side table would be a better comparison vs the mobile snack cart; since those take up about the same space, some have drawers to store things as well, and could also serve as a snack/drink table.

The keyboard table is just a fancier and wider version of the old-fashioned C-shaped couch tables. Of course, not many would need one as wide as the one in the image, but it would work for regular couch gamers.

This looks like a bed aimed at asian gaming freaks who love to die in internet cafes.
