Double TV Beds

A TV bed asks more questions than most bed purchases. It has to fit your room with the screen raised, work with the TV you already own or plan to buy, and still give you a comfortable night's sleep once the screen is tucked away. Storage matters too, because the foot end is already taken up by the TV lift. Our team has been helping customers get decisions like this right for over 50 years, and the guides below cover everything worth checking before you order.

What Matters When Choosing Double TV Beds

Three things decide whether a double TV bed will work in your home. Get these right and the finer details, such as colour and headboard style, are easy to settle.

Double TV Bed Size Guide

Our TV beds currently start at double size and go up to super king. Every double TV bed takes a standard UK double mattress, but the frame itself is larger than the mattress because of the TV footboard.

Always check the overall dimensions on the individual listing, not just the mattress size. Some double TV beds measure well over two metres long once the footboard is included, and footboard height changes when the TV is raised. Measure your room with the screen up, and allow space to walk past the foot of the bed.

See our UK Bed Sizes Guide for room-by-room measuring advice, or browse our King Size TV Beds and Super King Size TV Beds if you have the space for a larger frame.

Double TV Bed Types Explained

Every TV bed has a lift built into the footboard, but the rest of the frame varies. Here's a plain comparison of the main types.

Features vary between models, so check the individual listing to see exactly what each bed includes.

Quick Decision Guide - Which Double TV Bed Is Right for You?

Choose a Standard TV Bed if:

• You already have enough storage elsewhere in the room
• You want the cleanest, simplest setup
• You'd rather put your budget into the mattress

Choose a Side-Opening Ottoman TV Bed if:

• Your bedroom is short on wardrobe or drawer space
• You want somewhere to keep spare bedding, games or seasonal items out of sight
• You have clear access along at least one side of the bed

Choose a TV Bed with Other Built-In Storage if:

• You want to reach stored items without lifting the mattress
• You store things you use every day rather than once a season

Choose a TV Bed with Audio and Charging Features if:

• You watch films or play games in bed most evenings
• You want fewer cables and gadgets on the bedside table
• You'd like the sound to come from the bed rather than the TV alone

One question our team hears all the time is whether an existing TV will fit. Before you order, measure your TV's width, height and depth rather than relying on the screen size. Two TVs sold as the same size can differ by several centimetres, and depth is often what decides whether a TV fits the lift.

Double TV Beds with Storage

The TV lift takes up the foot end of the bed, so storage on a TV bed works differently from a standard storage bed. Here's how the options compare.

Many customers expect a TV bed to open from the foot end like a standard ottoman. On a TV bed, storage almost always opens from the side, so make sure there's enough room along that side of the bed before you order. Browse our double TV beds with storage to compare options.

Materials and Construction

A TV bed combines furniture and moving parts, so it's worth understanding what each part does and how to look after it. Here's a plain comparison.

Always follow the care and use instructions supplied with your bed.

Choosing between colours? Free fabric swatches are available on double TV beds that come in more than one colour, so you can see and feel the fabric in your own room before you order. Call our team on 01928 242829 or ask on live chat to request yours.

How Much Should You Spend on a Double TV Bed?

TV beds cost more than standard bed frames because they include a lift mechanism and electrics as well as the frame itself. Here's what different budgets get you across our range.

A TV bed is also the base for your mattress every night, so it's worth choosing one that supports it properly. A well-built frame protects your mattress and makes the whole setup more comfortable to sleep on.

Charlotte Blythe, Bed and Mattress Expert at Land of Beds: "Measure your room with the TV up, not down. Most people check the bed fits, then find the screen sits too close to the bed or blocks a window. Allow for the footboard, the height of the screen and where your nearest plug socket is, and you'll avoid the problems that cause the most disappointment."

Our Price Promise Guarantee means you won't pay more than you should. Interest-free finance is available on selected terms, and you can also pay with Klarna to spread the cost in a way that suits you.

TV Beds vs a Standard Bed with a Wall-Mounted TV

Not sure whether a TV bed is worth it over a standard bed and a TV on the wall? Here's a plain comparison.

Neither is better overall. A TV bed suits you if you want the TV hidden away and don't want to drill into walls. A wall-mounted TV suits you if you want a bigger screen than a footboard can hold. Browse our full range of double beds to compare.

What's Included with a Double TV Bed?

Inclusion varies by product. As a general guide across our range:

Always check the individual product listing for full details on what's included before purchasing. This varies between products.
