Over the past two years, we have all been spending a significant amount of time at home, resulting in everyone looking for new ways to relax and enjoy our living setups. Decorating and swapping furniture around, have you ever thought about swapping your bed for a TV bed?
Display technology has come on leaps and bounds with super slim screens, and as bed design becomes more innovative, built-in TVs come together and consolidate into one piece of furniture.
If you are searching for a design statement as practical as elegant, a TV bed could be the perfect centrepiece to turn your bedroom into a cosy sanctuary.
The idea of a widescreen at the foot of your bed sounds perfect. After all, what better way to watch your favourite film or TV programme than snuggled up in bed under your duvet with a glass of wine!!
But there is more to a TV Bed than the bedtime viewing setup…
1. Saves you space
Say goodbye to cluttered TV stands and wall brackets. This is a luxurious space, an alternative to placing your TV on a cabinet or on top of a dresser: Decluttered space and tidy minds who don’t want that.
The framework of your TV bed securely houses your TV, and you are saving money as you don’t have to buy a stand, and that’s a bonus too.
Most TV beds include ottoman storage, ideal for storing your gaming console or the family’s extensive collection of DVDs.
TV beds are perfect for smaller bedrooms because they offer extra storage. Are you running out of space to stash your towels, bedding or clothing? Then you can open sections of your bed, pop them in and forget about it.
2. Customise the bed to suit your taste.
A bedroom should be a place of serenity and calm against the day’s chaos.
You have spent a long time designing your bedroom, adding the proper lighting and accessories. The furniture, pillows and bedding are all a perfect match. So why would you want to ruin the theme with a TV that dominates the bedroom? Luckily with a TV bed, you won’t choose from various sizes and luxury colours to match your room and make it the focal point.
3. Hides messy wires and cables.
What better way to watch TV without being distracted by all the wires?
A TV bed will hide all the clutter of wires. Most TV beds have special compartments and storage spaces for cables, remote and satellite equipment. Premium TV beds may even have room to build a surround speaker system. Messy wires will be a thing of the past, and no more worrying about tripping over them.
4. Creates the perfect home cinema.
If you are a busy parent with kids running around causing chaos, work nine to five, or need a safe, peaceful place.
Nothing is better than unwinding and relaxing with a glass of wine, watching your favourite film as you sink into your comfortable bed. What luxury is just like being in a hotel room? The TV bed transforms your bedroom into a dreamy home cinema.
5. They are very affordable
So, the indulgent aspect of these beds is now apparent, but what about the affordable part?
Well, it’s easy, really… yes, they are affordable. You are cutting down on buying a stand for the TV or brackets. You can have that one luxury item that will solve several problems, including extra storage space and decluttering your bedroom, all at an affordable price. So go on and treat yourself to that one bit of luxury.
6. Streamline your bedroom
There is no requirement for extra furniture to put your TV on. It is tucked neatly in the bed’s footboard and works well in a smaller bedroom. There is also a convenient section to store a DVD player or games console, preventing all the different unsightly wires from trailing around the room.
7. Full home entertainment system
If you want to go all out on the tech front, you can choose a tv bed with all the bells and whistles for the feel of a home cinema right in the heart of your bedroom. Features can include a surround sound speaker system with a subwoofer, blue tooth connectivity and built-in USB ports enabling you to connect your devices. Integrated remote control with adjustable bass and auto-switch off when the TV is lowered back into the footboard are also helpful.
8. Great for the weekends
What could be nicer on a weekend morning than a lovely long lie in watching tv or streaming your favourite boxset from the comfort of your bed? The TV will quietly rise from the bottom of the bed at the touch of a button, and off you go. Heaven!
9. Extra Storage
Many of the tv beds are also ottoman beds, so hiding away your tv, there is plenty of storage space in the bed base to house all your extra bedding, clothes or anything else you may wish to keep out of sight. Again, a handy feature if it is in a smaller room.
10. A touch of luxury
Create a chic and luxurious room with your tv bed as the show’s star. Many of these fantastic beds can be customised with a choice of colour and fabric styles so they can be as stylish as you want them to be and have the extra benefit of the technical aspects.
How To make a TV bed fit your bedroom style.
When making a significant purchase for a critical item of furniture, such as a TV bed, there are many things to consider. From the price and practicalities to the overall look, here are a few things to consider when buying a TV bed.
Size matters: Before buying that new TV bed, consider the size. It would help if you made sure the bed fits into the bedroom, although one of the benefits of a TV bed is the storage capacity, so you may be able to take advantage of choosing a larger bed. It is also essential to consider the size of the TV and how far away from you it is when viewing. A helpful guide would be if the distance from the foot of the bed where the TV is located to where your head is were 180cm. We recommend a 32″ TV as this gives the best viewing capabilities.
Storage solutions: TV beds have various ways to help you declutter your bedroom. They may come with up to four drawers underneath for storing bedding, towels, and linen with easy access. Many come with the option of an Ottoman lift. Lifting the entire mattress to provide larger storage space has become an increasingly popular option.
Additional storage: A TV bed is a great way to maximise limited space. You don’t need to mount a TV on the wall or use a bulky stand. Most also have other handy compartments. These can hide messy wires and house additional devices, whether a console or set-top box. Some, like the Star TV Par, have various media features, such as Bluetooth connectivity, surround sound, and USB points, making your bedroom a home cinema at the touch of a button.
There are plenty of options for getting the bed to match your décor. TV beds come in various colours and fabrics to match any design scheme and reflect your style.
Adding a TV bed can be your chance to add that bit of luxury to your bedroom and, with one purchase, bring it into the 21st century.
