Best Heights, Mounting Tips & Viewing Angles for TV Beds
Setting up your TV bed isn’t just about picking the perfect TV bed frame—it’s also about ensuring you have the best TV viewing experience. A proper setup can make all the difference in comfort and entertainment. At TV Beds Northwest, we want to help you create a cinema-like experience from the comfort of your bed. Here’s how to get it just right.
The Best Height for Your Bedroom TV
The question we get asked a lot is: “What’s the best height to mount my TV?” Ideally, the centre of your TV screen should be at eye level when you’re in your natural seated or lying position. For TV beds, that’s often a bit lower than what you’d expect for a living room setup. Having your TV at the correct height can reduce neck strain and improve your overall comfort while binge-watching your favourite shows.

Viewing Angles: Why They Matter
Have you ever noticed how certain angles make your TV look darker or blurrier? That’s all down to viewing angles. For the best viewing experience, the TV should be directly in front of you when you’re in bed. If your TV is too high or too far to the side, you’re likely to experience distorted colours or brightness issues.
This is where adjustable TV beds come in handy. Adjustable TV Beds allow you to alter the angle at which you’re sitting or lying down, giving you the perfect view of the screen no matter how you like to relax. Not only does this improve your viewing pleasure, but it also has some health benefits.
Benefits of Adjustable TV Beds
An adjustable TV bed can make a big difference in your comfort, especially if you spend a long time in bed, possibly through health or mobility reasons. By adjusting the head or foot of the bed, you can reduce strain on your back, neck, and shoulders. Many of our customers find that adjustable beds help with better posture, as well as relieve pressure points, giving you a more comfortable viewing experience.
Mounting Tips for a Sleek Look
When it comes to TV Beds, safety and aesthetics still go hand in hand, but the mounting process is a bit different. Most TV Beds come with built-in TV lift mechanisms, meaning the TV is securely housed within the footboard of the bed. This gives your bedroom a sleek, clutter-free look, with no need for wall mounts or visible cables.
Always ensure the TV lift mechanism is functioning smoothly and is properly installed to avoid any issues. Regular checks on the lift system can keep it running quietly and efficiently. If you’re after a bit more flexibility in viewing angles, some adjustable TV beds allow you to slightly tilt the TV for that perfect position, without having to move the bed itself.
If you’re experiencing any trouble with the lift mechanism or setup, take a look at our Troubleshooting Guide for quick fixes and expert advice.
Whether you’re watching the latest film or simply relaxing in bed, getting the perfect TV setup is key to maximising your comfort. There's plenty to think about, from finding the right height to choosing an adjustable TV bed for better angles.
