TV Beds

A TV bed houses a motorised lift mechanism inside the footboard that raises a television up from a concealed compartment when in use and lowers it back out of sight when not. The result is a bedroom that looks like a normal, well-dressed room with the TV entirely hidden, and a viewing setup that appears instantly at the touch of a button or remote control.

The practical appeal is straightforward. A wall-mounted or freestanding TV in a bedroom takes up visual space even when switched off, and the cables and mounting hardware can be difficult to conceal neatly. A TV bed removes all of that from view, leaving the bedroom to feel like a sleeping space rather than a secondary lounge. For those who value a calm, uncluttered bedroom aesthetic but still want the option of watching television in bed, it is one of the more elegant solutions available.

TV size compatibility is one of the first specifications to check when comparing models. Most TV beds accommodate televisions between 32 and 55 inches, though this varies by design. Always check the maximum TV size and the internal compartment dimensions against the screen you plan to use before buying.

Many TV beds also include ottoman storage, accessible by lifting the base on a gas mechanism in the same way as a standard ottoman bed. This combination of TV storage in the footboard and under-bed storage in the base makes a TV ottoman bed one of the most practically equipped bed designs available.

Upholstered finishes are the most widely available for TV beds, with velvet, fabric, and faux leather options across most designs. The motorised mechanism runs on a standard UK plug socket. TV beds are available in double, king size, and super king configurations.
