Julian Bowen Blaze Highsleeper (Black and Pale Wood, Single)

Gaming Highsleeper Bed

From: Julian Bowen

The Julian Bowen Blaze highsleeper bed combines a raised single bed with a full workstation underneath. Made from engineered wood with a black and pale woodgrain finish, it measures 178cm high, 141cm wide and 196.5cm deep. The design suits anyone who needs a bed and a desk in a limited floor space.

Underneath the raised sleeping area sits a wide-span desk, built-in shelving and drawers. This gives a proper spot for a monitor, keyboard and other gaming or study gear, keeping cables and clutter off the floor. A raised platform is built in to hold a monitor at eye level.

Getting up to bed is safer thanks to glow-in-the-dark steps on the ladder. The bed fits a standard UK single mattress of 90 x 190cm (sold separately), with a maximum mattress depth of 18cm. It's available in a white finish too, if black and pale wood isn't quite right for the room.

Product Features

Built-in storage - The frame includes shelves and drawers fitted directly into the structure. This means no extra furniture is needed to store books, controllers or clothes. It keeps the room tidier and makes better use of vertical space rather than floor space. Integrated desk - A wide-span desk sits under the raised bed, giving enough room for a computer setup, monitor, keyboard and mouse. This is useful for anyone who games, studies or works from a bedroom without needing a separate desk taking up more floor area. Raised monitor platform - A built-in shelf positioned above the desk holds a monitor at a comfortable eye level. This reduces neck strain during long gaming or study sessions and keeps the screen off the main desk surface, freeing up room for other items.

Glow-in-the-dark steps - The ladder steps are treated so they glow in the dark. This makes climbing up or down safer at night without needing to switch a light on, which matters for a bed positioned nearly 1.8 metres off the ground. Engineered wood construction - The frame is built from engineered wood rated to hold a weight of 124kg. It's a durable material that resists warping better than solid wood in some conditions, while keeping the overall bed frame lighter to move and assemble. Space-saving footprint - At 141cm wide and 196.5cm deep, the highsleeper combines a bed and desk into one footprint. For a single bedroom, this can free up considerable floor space compared to having a separate bed and desk.

FAQs

What size mattress does the Julian Bowen Blaze highsleeper bed take?

It takes a standard UK single mattress measuring 90 x 190cm. The mattress is not included and must be bought separately. The maximum mattress depth allowed is 18cm, so check any mattress you're considering doesn't exceed this before buying.

How much weight can the bed frame hold?

The frame is rated for an item weight of 124kg. This includes the person sleeping on it, plus the mattress and bedding. Always check the listing or manual for the exact weight limit before use, particularly for older children or teenagers.

Does this bed come with a desk already built in?

Yes. A wide-span desk is built into the base of the frame, along with a raised platform for a monitor. There's no need to buy a separate desk, which helps if the bedroom has limited floor space.

Is assembly required and how difficult is it?

Assembly is required and an installation manual is included in the box. One review describes it as "sturdy n easy put together", suggesting the process is manageable for most people, though having two people to help with a bed frame of this size is sensible.

What colours is the Blaze highsleeper available in?

This listing is for the black and pale wood finish. Julian Bowen also offers the same highsleeper in a white finish, so there's a choice depending on the room's existing colour scheme.

How do the glow-in-the-dark steps work?

The ladder steps are treated with a coating that absorbs light during the day and releases it as a soft glow at night. This helps whoever's climbing up or down see the steps clearly in a dark room, adding a safety element given the bed height of 178cm.

How much floor space does the highsleeper need?

The bed measures 141cm wide and 196.5cm deep. Because the desk and shelving are built into the frame, this single footprint replaces what would otherwise need a separate bed and desk, which is worth measuring against your room dimensions before ordering.

What is the bed frame made from and how do I clean it?

It's made from engineered wood, a material built from wood fibres and resin that offers good durability at a lower weight than solid timber. Julian Bowen recommends wiping the frame with a dry cloth to keep it clean, avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
