No home rule sets a bed-to-desk gap. A chair in use takes about 30 in, so a 36 in gap leaves 6 in to walk. How to measure yours.
A 48 inch desk fits in a 10×10 room, but facing a queen bed it leaves 6 in once the chair is out. Beside the bed it leaves 66 in.
No standard we found sets a desk depth. OSHA and ANSI/HFES set a 20 in (50 cm) eye-to-screen distance. Here is how to check if 24 in works.
We checked 100 Amazon desks sold as compact. None of the 90 rectangular ones we could confirm is deeper than 60 cm (23.6 in). 40 cm is most common.
