# You Literally Never Have to Get Out of This $1,200 Gaming Bed

## Goodbye Outside

Japanese company Bauhutte has come up with the perfect solution to surviving a 14-day quarantine while the coronavirus outbreak is raging: a [$1,200 gaming bed concept](<https://www.bauhutte.jp/bauhutte-life/making-gaming-desk/>).

"I wake up and move from my bed to my desk. Why is that so complicated?" the website reads, as translated by Google. "Gaming beds solve this problem."

## Energy Wagon

First [spotted by *PC Gamer*](<https://www.pcgamer.com/japanese-gaming-bed/>), the unconventional bed has enough room for a dual monitor setup, oversized cupholders, a desk lamp, and even a retractable phone holder so you don't have to go through the pain of holding your phone with your hand.

An "Energy Wagon" will store all the Mountain Dew and Doritos you could possibly need during your self-quarantine-slash-endless-gaming-session. An elevated headboard can store even more stuff.

## Who Needs Exercise?

And no, you literally will never have to leave this bed — except for maybe going to the bathroom.

"As soon as you get up, you can watch a game or anime and realize a life cycle of falling asleep without difficulty," reads the website.

## Author
I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida.
