Any of you guys installed a double gang recessed box for outlets only?
Any suggestions for the one you prefer?
I’ve seen the ones from Arlington that use Decora outlets, and I may go that route. Thought I would ask first to see if there is something better out there.

Ours is like every other bedroom. Only a duplex somewhere behind the bed or nightstands.
A lamp, charger or two, clock, and whatever else my wife could think to put there, a single gang isn’t cutting it.
I have one of those plug in quad receptacle things off Amazon plugged in them now, but I need to leave like 4-6 inches behind the nightstand to keep from bending the crap out of the cords..
And it looks bad.
 
A double gang may not help depending on the size of the plug end that you have. If you have wall warts then it can be an issue. I have installed separate duplex receptacles to avoid this.

Otherwise the Arlington 2 gangs are great.

Well… +1 for you.

I didn’t think about those adapters.
I’m going now to see how big they are.
