Choosing the right TV bed can be an overwhelming task. There are many factors to consider such as size, shape, and the number of people that will be using it. Thankfully, we have a complete guide to help you make the best decision for your needs. When I’ve tried TV beds in person, the first thing I always do is check how smoothly the lift mechanism runs and whether the foot-end feels solid when you lean on it.

The first step is deciding on the size of your TV bed. If you're just using it for yourself, then anything from single to small double should suffice. If you want multiple people to be able to use it or want more room for activities like reading or watching TV in bed, then a double to king-sized bed would work best. Superking is always a great option but oftentimes both financial obligation and space required are going to be far greater than most people have an appetite for. Also worth saying, bigger TV beds can be a pain to move or get upstairs, and once they’re in place you’re not exactly shifting them around on a whim.

After selecting a size, you'll need to decide on how high off the ground you want your new TV bed to be. Do you prefer something closer to the floor? Or do you want it elevated higher up? Does storage matter? All these questions will help determine what shape would work best for you and your needs. I always have a quick sit on the edge too, some TV beds feel sturdy, but others can dip a bit at the foot end because of the extra hardware.

The next thing to consider when choosing your TV bed is the shape. Naturally most frames are of similar size and dimensions but that’s not all. Is it a bigger one for just you? Or maybe you're looking for something more spacious for two people? Maybe you want something that can easily fit a few more people in it. The size of the bed will also have an effect on the cost, with smaller beds being much less expensive than larger ones. One small downside with TV beds in general is you’re paying for the mechanism and space for the TV, so you can end up getting less bed for your money compared to a standard frame.

Shape matters when choosing your new TV bed because there are a lot of factors to take into consideration such as the height off the ground, storage space, and who will be using it most often.

We hope you’ve found this guide useful in helping you find the best TV bed for your needs. Now that you know the basics, it’s time to search for a bed that suits your budget and matches your preferences.

Reasons to buy

  • Proper “bedroom cinema” convenience, having the screen built into the foot end keeps everything tidy and makes casual viewing effortless.
  • Great space-saving idea in smaller rooms, you get the TV without needing a separate stand or wall mount, and the cabling can be hidden more neatly.
  • Comfort for everyday use can be very good, you can sit up with back support and watch without awkward pillow stacking, especially with an adjustable base or supportive headboard.
  • A neat option for couples with different habits, one person can watch with headphones while the other winds down, without turning the bedroom into a gadget mess.
  • It can look surprisingly clean when closed, many designs hide the TV well so the bed still feels like a normal piece of furniture in the day.

Reasons to avoid

  • They are expensive for what they are, you are paying for the mechanism and the integration, not just the bed frame itself.
  • More things can go wrong, motors, remotes, lifting mechanisms, and wiring add failure points that you do not have with a standard frame.
  • TV size and compatibility can be limiting, you have to match the frame to the screen size and depth, and upgrading your TV later is not always straightforward.
