The Complete TV Bed Guide for 2026: Comfort, Tech and Style in One Clever Package

If you love a cosy night in with your favourite series, a TV bed might just be the upgrade your bedroom has been waiting for. Designed for modern living, TV beds combine comfort, storage and smart technology in one sleek package. At Funkybedz, we build TV beds with Yorkshire craftsmanship and a sprinkle of cheeky charm, bringing you the perfect blend of style and convenience.

This guide walks you through what a TV bed is, how it works and how to choose the right one based on your space, habits and sleep routine.

What Exactly Is a TV Bed?

A TV bed is a clever bed frame with a hidden television built into the footboard. With the press of a button, the screen rises smoothly into view. It’s perfect for anyone who likes a bit of luxury alongside their bedtime routine. Our collection of TV beds gives you a range of designs, sizes and fabric options to suit every home.

Some models even include extra storage, such as our TV beds with storage, ideal for keeping clutter tucked away.

Why Choose a TV Bed?

There’s nothing wrong with a good old telly on a stand, but a TV bed elevates the whole experience. Here are the biggest benefits:

1. Ultimate Relaxation

Imagine leaning back on plush pillows while your screen rises silently at the foot of your bed. It’s pure magic, especially after a long day. No more neck strain or awkward furniture placement.

2. A Space Saving Star

Ideal for flats, small bedrooms or shared living spaces. With the TV hidden away, your room feels bigger and cleaner. Pair it with a storage model for even more practicality.

3. Safe and Secure

Your television remains protected inside the footboard when not in use, safe from dust, curious kids or that moment you swear you didn’t kick it.

4. A Stylish Centrepiece

Whether you prefer modern minimal or plush upholstery, a TV bed instantly becomes the star of the room. It brings a touch of luxury that feels straight out of a boutique hotel.

Choosing the Right TV Bed for Your Home

There’s a TV bed for every lifestyle. To make the right choice, consider the following:

Room Size

If space is tight, go for a streamlined design that blends into your room. Larger rooms can benefit from bold headboards or cushioned frames for extra comfort.

Storage Needs

If you could do with more space for blankets and bedding, choose a TV bed with built-in storage. These designs keep your room neat while hiding your bits and pieces from view.

Comfort Preferences

Your TV bed deserves a quality mattress. Explore our mattress collection to find the right firmness for your body. For a plush feel, try a memory foam mattress. For a supportive structure, our pocket sprung mattresses are a favourite among UK sleepers.

Fabric and Finish

Your TV bed should match your personal style. Head to our fabric page to explore colours and materials that complement your décor.

How TV Beds Work

The magic lies in the lifting mechanism hidden inside the footboard. Using a remote control, the TV rises smoothly into view. When you switch it off, it gently lowers and disappears. It’s simple, safe and designed for long-term use.

Wiring is neatly stored inside the frame, keeping your room looking tidy and modern. Plus, most standard televisions fit these frames easily, letting you upgrade your screen whenever you fancy.

Top Tips for Setting Up Your TV Bed

Once your TV bed arrives, here’s how to make the most of it:

• Place it facing away from direct sunlight to reduce screen glare.
• Keep the remote stored safely in a bedside drawer.
• Make sure your WiFi router is nearby for smooth streaming.
• Choose bedding that complements the frame colour for a polished look.
