The Rise of the TV Bed: Why More People Are Swapping Their Sofas for Bedtime Entertainment
Once considered a luxury, TV beds are quickly becoming a must-have in modern British homes — and it’s not hard to see why.
From couples enjoying quiet movie nights to shift workers catching up on boxsets, more people are turning their bedrooms into full-blown entertainment spaces. And with built-in surround sound, ottoman storage, and sleek designs, today’s TV beds are far more than a gimmick — they’re a game-changer.
So, What Is a TV Bed?
A TV bed is a stylish upholstered bed frame that houses a built-in television, typically hidden inside the footboard. At the touch of a button (or a voice command in some models), the TV rises up ready to use, then disappears when not in use — perfect for keeping your bedroom tidy and clutter-free.
Add in sound systems, storage, USB ports, and ambient lighting, and suddenly, your bed isn’t just for sleeping — it’s your personal media hub.
Why Are TV Beds on the Rise?
1. Home Is the New Cinema
With streaming services booming and the cost of a night out climbing, more people are investing in their at-home experience. A TV bed brings the big screen feel to your bedroom — no popcorn-stuck-to-the-floor or queuing for the loo required.
2. Space-Saving Style
Not everyone has room for a TV unit or media wall in the bedroom. A TV bed hides the screen neatly away, helping you make the most of every square inch — especially if you go for an ottoman storage version too.
3. Built-In Sound, Built-In Relaxation
Some models (like our Edge Dolby Atmos TV Bed) come with full surround sound built into the frame. That means no more faffing with wires, speakers, or remotes — just crisp, cinematic sound from where you already want to be: bed.
4. Ideal for Modern Lifestyles
Whether it’s watching a film with the kids, binge-watching your favourite series after a long shift, or using the adjustable bed feature to stay comfy while recovering from surgery — TV beds are as practical as they are impressive.
What to Look For in a TV Bed
Not all TV beds are made equal. Look for:
Sound quality (e.g. 4.1 multimedia or 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos original 5.1.2 surround sound)
Storage options (ottoman bases are great for saving space)
TV size compatibility (most support up to 43” screens)
Fabric and finish (choose one that suits your space — think Vogue Grey, Beige, or bold Black Leather)
Smart features like voice activation or massage functions if you want to go all-in
