Small Double TV Beds

A small double size accommodates up to two people or one person comfortably. A small double bed and mattress are 120cm wide and 190cm long in metric dimensions. This equals 4 feet wide and 6 feet 3 inches long. A ‘small double’ (4’0”) bed (also known as a ‘Queen’ or a ‘Three Quarter’) is wider than a single bed but smaller in width than a double.

A TV bed is your chance to savour box sets, movies, and anything else you enjoy on television, all from the comfort of your bedroom. By pressing a button, you can command the TV smoothly out of its storage space within the frame and get on with your viewing. You’ll find TV beds in different styles and sizes to suit your tastes. Thanks to optional extras such as ottoman bed storage, you can make your TV bed as practical as it is comfortable.

TV Beds FAQ's

What is a TV Bed?

A TV bed is a bed that stores a TV in a built-in compartment at the foot of the bed. To operate the TV bed and bring the TV up, you use a remote control or press a button, and the TV will pop up. Then you can relax with your favourite programmes or movies. It’s incredibly luxurious.

A TV bed allows you to hide away unsightly wires, which is not just good for the style but also stops you from tangling your feet up in them. If you’re a gaming enthusiast, film buff, or gadget lover in general, you’ll be able to switch between your games and TV or movie channels quickly, comfortably, and without any fuss.

How big can the TV be?

Cramped for Two: A small double may feel cramped for two adults, especially those who value personal space while sleeping. It provides only a bit more width than a single, which can be insufficient for regular use by couples.
Less Comfortable for Sharing: The narrow width can limit comfort for couples who need more space to move around during sleep.

Limited Storage: Smaller size means less space for under-bed storage compared to larger sizes that might have built-in storage solutions.

Custom Bedding: Finding custom or specialty bedding can be more challenging and potentially more expensive.

Compromise on Comfort: The compromise in space might affect overall comfort, particularly for individuals who prefer more space while sleeping.

7. May Not Fit All Room Sizes

Room Size Fit: While it fits well in smaller rooms, it might not be the best choice for larger rooms where a larger size could provide more comfort and style.

The limited space and design constraints can affect its functionality and aesthetics, and it might not be ideal for frequent use by two people. Additionally, there may be fewer options for bedding and accessories compared to more standard sizes. Understanding these drawbacks can help in determining whether a small double is the right choice for your needs.
