Finding the perfect bed is like finding a gem; it's precious, comforting, and significantly improves your quality of life. As someone deeply passionate about mattresses and bed accessories, lately, I've been fascinated and captivated by the rise of smart beds, particularly the Hi TV Bed Frame - Voice Activated. This bed has transformed our understanding of comfort, combining luxury with convenience and cutting-edge technology. Here's what makes the Hi TV bed an exceptional piece in a modern digital home.
How we tested
To offer a clear insight into the Hi TV Bed Frame, we went directly to our local Bensons for Beds store armed with curiosity and excited to experience the product firsthand. We examined the bed frame's construction, scrutinised its state-of-the-art features and even tested its unique voice activation function. Over an extensive period, we juggled between being mixtures of front, back, and side sleepers, frequently switch positions, to assess the bed's comfort and functionality from every angle.
Design and features
The Hi TV bed is a masterstroke of design and functionality. Its chic exterior, adorned with horizontal stitched headboard in a plush velvet grey fabric, camouflages the clever technology within. Boasting a voice activation feature that brings your TV to life with a simple command, the TV bed offers added convenience, making it an attractive choice for tech-enthusiasts. The bed also ensures device accessibility is not compromised with conveniently placed USB and USBC charging points, paving the way for an uninterrupted, cosy movie night right from your bed.
Construction
While its features provide a spectacular tech ensemble, the bed's construction is not left out. The hi tech bed frame sports a sprung-slatted mattress base that stands at the heart of its comfort-giving capabilities. This design not only provides a supportive surface to rest on but also promotes air circulation around the mattress contributing to a fresh and rejuvenating sleep experience. Plus, with a handy storage pocket at the foot end, it shows that every aspect of this bed is carefully thought through.
Suitability
Both tech-savvy and comfort-seekers will find the Hi TV bed a solid addition to their home. It's an ideal pick for those who appreciate an elevated cinematic experience right from the comforts of their bed. Plus, with sizes available from double to super king, it caters to a range of users, living up to their spatial and luxury needs simultaneously.
What customers thought
The bed itself gets plenty of praise. One owner called it "really sturdy and well made", another said it "looks very plush", and easy assembly comes up again and again, with one owner putting it at "about 1.5 hours". Owners without room for a TV unit or a wall-mounted TV like that it saves the space. Another found it "very comfortable and less squeaky than our old metal frame".
The voice control is the most common complaint. One owner wrote that "the voice activation rarely works" and another called it "annoyingly temperamental". Several say the buttons fail too, so they end up switching the bed off at the wall to get the TV moving, and one owner's buttons and voice control both stopped working within five weeks. It does work for some: one owner said "if you speak clearly and don't mumble it works fine!"
A smaller group felt the frame was cheaply made for the price, with one owner saying it "feels very cheap". Other gripes are narrower: one owner found the TV bracket "quite wobbly", and some who added the optional TV say it keeps dropping its internet connection.
The verdict
Ultimately, the Hi TV Bed Frame - Voice Activated is an embodiment of luxury and innovation - a beautiful blend of comfort and state-of-the-art technology woven into a chic design. It nails that mix of comfort and clever tech, and it looks the part too. Though the voice command function could use some fine-tuning, the bed's overall performance, style, and construction more than make up for this minor foible. Calling it merely a prize would be an understatement; it's a technological marvel ready to redefine rest and entertainment, launching you into ultra-modern living.
