Why our sleep experts loved it
As most people spend nearly one-third of their lives in bed, the importance of having not just a good, but a great bed cannot be overstated. More than just a place to lay one's head, the bed has increasingly been viewed as a personal sanctuary - a refuge from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Recognising this, manufacturers have sought to enhance the bed experience, offering a slew of options catered specifically to individuals' diverse desires and needs. The Foley Sleepmotion Adjustable TV Bed Frame happens to be one of these entrants, promising much more than just restful slumber. Kitted out with a 32" SMART TV, a wireless remote-controlled television lifting mechanism and wrapped in an elegant navy velvet-touch fabric, it's safe to say that it's no ordinary bed. But is it worth your consideration? Let's find out.
How We Tested
First and foremost, it's important to note that the experience of testing this bed was an activity well beyond just lying on it and taking a nap. Comprehensive testing included a careful inspection of setting-up processes, the functionality of added features, the quality of the finishes and, of course, how it performed in terms of guaranteeing sleep comfort. Additionally, the testing period spanned an extended period to ensure that experiences were not just initial pleasantries but lasting traits that potential buyers would love. Attention was also paid to customers' previous experiences and issues raised, if any.
Design and Features
Sporting a lofty winged headboard with vertical panelling, the bed exudes an air of majesty that one can't help but admire. There's a certain richness about it, especially given its navy velvet-touch fabric upholstery, which adds a level of sophistication that few beds possess. Beyond aesthetics, the bed comes with a neatly built-in 32" SMART LG TV, complete with 2 HDMI ports and 2 USB inputs. This is no gimmick either - the LG TV is a reasonable-quality offering with 1366 x 768 resolution, ensuring fairly crisp, clear visuals for your viewing pleasure. That said, the upgrade paths available through the Dreams website which allow up to 4k resolution are a far better long-term investment. Operation is a breeze too, thanks to the wireless remote that controls the TV lifting mechanism.
Construction
The tech features of the Foley Sleepmotion Adjustable TV Bed Frame are undoubtedly impressive, but what about its basic function as a bed? When it comes to build and structure, the bed is quite solid. With options of Sleepmotion 200i, 400i and 200 u&i bases, you literally have the comfort and structure of the bed in your hands, enabling you to seek out the particular setting that guarantees you get the most restful sleep.
Suitability
Keep in mind, with a weight limit of 355kg/55 stone (including mattress weight), the bed is capable of handling an array of different body types and sizes. Its adaptability and toughness make it a suitable choice for many people, not forgetting the comfort it provides. However, it's worth bearing in mind that the added luxuries do come at a cost, making it a potentially pricey investment for some.
What Customers Thought
Customer reviews highlight the bed's ability to deliver in terms of comfort and functionality, with many reporting positive experiences. One user comments "Great tv bed looks really good cosy makes you feel comfortable watching your favourite films and TV shows while laying in bed." This buttresses the Foley Sleepmotion bed's claim of offering more than just a place to sleep.
The Verdict
In conclusion, the Foley Sleepmotion Adjustable TV Bed Frame proves to be a fitting contender in a market quickly becoming saturated with a range of diverse bed options. More than just a bed, it delivers an experience, transforming a traditionally mundane activity into something much more. However, with the added luxury naturally comes with a heavier price tag. For those ready to splash out and upgrade their sleeping experience, the Foley Sleepmotion bed might just be worth that extra penny.
