The gaming bed
The bed comes in three finishes – black faux leather with green or blue piping and grey fabric with black piping.
All three feature vibrant LED lights, which frame the perimeter of the bed frame and headboard.
At the foot of the bed is a built-in 32-inch TV with a lifting mechanism.
The Drift also has storage space for games consoles, headset holders and USB ports on each side.
Users can opt for a Small Double, Double or King size, with prices starting from £1,799.
Dreams developed the bed in response to research which found that over 50 per cent of the British population now embraces gaming as a form of entertainment.
Fabio Perrotta, Director of Buying at Dreams, said: ‘We’ve seen a real shift in attitudes towards gaming since the pandemic, as well as a demand in people wanting to enjoy the gaming experience in comfort and style.
‘Dreams understand that beds are so much more than just a place for us to rest our heads, which inspired us to create the first ever gaming bed available up to King size.’
The bed comes in three finishes – black faux leather with green piping, black faux leather with blue piping, and grey fabric with black piping.
All three feature vibrant LED lights, which frame the perimeter of the bed frame and headboard.
At the foot of the bed is a built-in 32-inch TV with a lifting mechanism, which can be stowed away when it’s time to sleep.
The Drift also has storage space for games consoles, headset holders and USB ports on each side.
Users can opt for a Small Double, Double or King size, with prices starting from £1,799.
In addition, the bed is available with matching bedside chests with stands for resting your controller.
The launch of The Drift comes shortly after IKEA ventured into the world of gaming, with the launch of a line of furniture for gamers, in collaboration with Republic of Gamers (ROG).
The range includes desks, chairs and accessories, ranging in price from £7.50 to £350.
‘We believe there’s a lot to be done to democratise the gaming experience’, said Ewa Rychert, Global Business Leader of Workspaces at IKEA.
‘We’ve taken the first step on our gaming journey, and have done it by offering consumers affordable, high-performing gaming products and complete home solutions that we hope reflect people’s personality and taste.’
CAN VIDEO GAMES MAKE YOU LESS EMPATHETIC?
In a recent study, researchers looked at the three games participants played most, and noted if they were of a violent nature (such as shooting game Call of Duty) or non-violent (such as Fifa).
They tracked the brainwaves of participants using electroencephalography (EEG).
At the same time they completed a ‘stop-signal task’ which contained male and female faces looking either happy or scared.
The study found gaming was linked to lower empathy and emotional callousness.
Researchers believe this is because it inhibits people’s ability to process emotional facial expression and control their responses as a result.
