What to Know About a TV Bed in Autumn Winter 25-26
As the nights draw in and the air takes on that sharp autumn edge, many of us turn inwards with a desire to nest. Autumn and winter are seasons for comfort, for heavy throws and thicker duvets, for evenings spent in smaller circles. Hygge, the Danish idea of wellbeing through cosiness, fits perfectly with this time of year. It’s also why more people are asking us about TV beds.
A TV bed is the ultimate nesting piece. It combines the comfort of a high-quality frame with the built-in technology of a hidden television. At the touch of a button, the screen rises from the footboard. It means you can watch films, stream boxsets, or wind down with the news without leaving the warmth of your duvet.
Why autumn and winter are ideal for a TV bed
We spend longer indoors during these darker months. Bedrooms become retreats rather than just sleeping spaces. A TV bed brings theatre and calm together. No trailing wires across the carpet, no TV perched on a chest of drawers. The technology is seamlessly integrated, ready when you need it and invisible when you don’t.
This is also when customers look for practical storage. Many of our models include ottoman bases, ideal for stowing away extra bedding or storing winter clothes. A TV bed is not just a luxury; it’s a practical choice when homes are more lived-in during colder months

Frequently Asked Questions About TV Beds
What size TV can I use in a TV bed?
Most TV beds accommodate slim televisions between 32 and 43 inches. Always check the exact compartment dimensions of the bed before buying.
Do TV beds come with storage?
Yes. Many models are designed with ottoman storage bases. These typically provide around 30–40cm of usable depth, ideal for winter bedding, clothes, or bulky items.
What type of lift mechanism do TV beds use?
Most TV beds use motorised lifts powered by linear actuators. These are quiet, reliable, and built with safety stops to prevent accidents.
Are TV beds noisy when raising or lowering the screen?
Premium models are designed to be whisper-quiet, producing only a soft hum. Lower-quality models may click or grind, so it’s always worth checking the specifications before purchasing.
Can I connect consoles or media boxes to a TV bed?
Yes. Many TV beds include built-in compartments with ventilation and cable conduits. This makes it easy to connect consoles, Sky boxes, or streaming devices without messy wires.
Do TV beds affect sleep quality?
Watching TV before bed can affect sleep for some people. We recommend using low-blue light settings, screen timers, or turning the TV off an hour before sleep to maintain good sleep hygiene.
Are TV beds suitable for small bedrooms?
Yes. Ottoman TV beds are particularly good for smaller spaces because they combine storage and entertainment in one piece of furniture. A double or king-size frame usually works best in tighter rooms. The VOX, in our opinion, is perfect for smaller rooms.
How much does a TV bed cost?
In 2025, prices typically range between £1,000 and £3,000. The final cost depends on size, fabric, and technology such as built-in speakers or adjustable frames.
What are the most popular finishes this season?
Soft greys, warm neutrals, and textured fabrics such as velvet and linen are popular this autumn–winter. These tones and textures complement Hygge-inspired interiors.
Do TV beds come with a warranty?
Yes. Reputable manufacturers offer at least five years’ warranty on motors and mechanics. Always check the warranty terms before you buy.
How heavy are TV beds?
Because of their lift mechanisms, TV beds are heavier than standard bed frames. A king size ottoman TV bed can weigh upwards of 120–150kg, so we recommend professional delivery and assembly.
Are TV beds energy efficient?
Yes. The motorised lift only consumes power when raising or lowering the television, so ongoing energy use is minimal.
What customers are saying
We believe expertise is best supported by the voices of people who live with these beds every day. Our customer reviews reflect the difference a TV bed makes — not just in terms of comfort but in how it changes the rhythm of home life. Many highlight how a TV bed creates a sense of sanctuary, a private space to switch off during the colder months.
Bringing Hygge home
Hygge is about balance: the right lighting, the right textures, the right furniture. A TV bed fits into that picture as a centrepiece. It offers comfort and function without fuss. For autumn and winter, when we naturally slow down and nest-build, it’s a considered choice that blends lifestyle and design.
We’ve seen demand rise every year as people prepare their homes for the darker months. For us, the appeal is simple — a TV bed is not a passing trend, it’s a long-term investment in comfort and calm.
