Is a Double TV bed right for my room — and how does it all work
A Double (4ft6) TV bed hides your screen inside the footboard and raises it with a smooth remote — movie night on demand, tidy room when it’s down. Doubles are the sweet spot for classic bedrooms and guest spaces that still want a little cinema magic.
What TV size and devices should I plan for
Screen fit
Check the product page for each model’s max screen size, thickness, and weight — slim bezels and a shallow depth lift and hide neatly.
Ports & add-ons
Streaming sticks and compact consoles are perfect. Use short HDMI and mains leads with a little slack so the mechanism moves freely.
Mount & control
A VESA mount inside the footboard holds the TV. The lift has its own remote; your TV remote works as normal once raised — simple.
Sound choices
Use TV speakers, add a compact soundbar, or go wireless. Keep cables tidy with gentle loops — no tight tugs on lift routes.
Do I want storage as well as the screen
TV beds with storage
Pick ottoman for maximum hidden space or drawers for quick daily access — clutter out, calm in.
No storage
Prefer a lighter look or already have wardrobes sorted. A clean framed TV bed keeps the under-bed open.
How do I measure a Double room so it feels designed — not squeezed
Walkways & foot space
Leave comfortable walk space at the foot so the TV can rise without meeting doors, radiators, or benches. Aim for easy circulation — no shuffle-walks.
Sockets & cabling
Plan power for the lift and the TV. Head-end sockets are neat; otherwise route safely along a side rail with labelled leads.
Delivery path
Measure doors and stair turns. Sections are sensible, but measurements save drama on the day. See delivery & returns.
Which styles look best as a Double TV bed
Wingback calm
Soft curves, hotel-calm edges. Lush in velvet and chenille.
Chesterfield classic
Deep buttons and tidy tailoring — the screen disappears into smart lines.
Sleigh smooth
Flowing profile that still hides the fun in the footboard.
High headboard drama
Tall and confident — makes a focal wall even at Double size.
Which mattress pairs best — and will it fit
Pocket sprung
Airflow + lively support — runs cooler, great for combo sleepers.
Memory foam
Contour + quiet motion — partners won’t feel late-night scrolls.
Pillow top
Plush, hotel-soft surface with steady support beneath.
Orthopaedic
Firm, focused alignment — back sleepers’ favourite.

FAQs
Does the TV come included
No — pick the screen you love. Check the product spec for maximum size, thickness, and weight.
Will a Double overwhelm my room
Doubles are designed for classic rooms. Leave clear foot space and your layout will feel balanced — even with the screen up.
Can I add storage
Yes — see TV beds with storage for ottoman or drawer options at Double size.
Console or streaming stick — any issues
Compact devices work best. Use short HDMI leads with slack and route cables tidy so the lift never snags.
Is assembly difficult
No. Sections are sensible and the guide is clear. Most builds take thirty to forty minutes — see assembly instructions.
What happens in a power cut
The TV stays safe in its last position. Once power returns, lower or raise as normal with the remote.
Will my mattress fit
Yes — our Double follows UK standards. Pair with pocket sprung, memory foam, pillow top, or orthopaedic.
