Is there anything better than curling up under your duvet and watching your favourite film in bed? We don’t think so. But the crown for best setup is still up for debate: should you stick with a classic wall-mounted TV, or upgrade to a smart and stylish TV bed that keeps your space tidy and your evenings extra cosy? In this guide, we’ll break down the pros and cons of TV beds vs. wall-mounted TVs so you can find the perfect fit for your bedroom. Browse our full collection of stunning TV beds. The case for wall-mounted TVs Wall-mounted TVs are a staple in many households and have been for a long time. They don’t take up any floorspace as there’s no need for a bulky stand or unit, and they’re really easy to set up. However, some wall-mounted TVs require professional installation due to their complex nature. Let’s dig a little deeper and have a look at some pros and cons. Pros of wall-mounted TVs Space-saving: there’s no need for stands or bulky units and frees up floorspace for other furniture Aesthetic appeal: they look neat and tidy up on the wall, giving a minimalist and organised look Viewing flexibility: many mounts allow you to adjust height and angles for best viewing experience Safe set up: wall-mounted TVs are up out of the way from children and pets, and also have a reduced tipping risk compared to those on a stand Cons of wall-mounted TVs Messy wires: cables can be hard to neatly hide away and may require extra work Structural requirements: some walls may not be compatible with the wall mount due to be hollow or plasterboard, wall reinforcement may be needed Professional installation: you may need to get the pros in to mount your TV if it’s particularly large or requires a complex mount Fixed position: while some mounts have flexible arms to help change viewing angles, others are in fixed positions which can cause issues if you want to reposition furniture etc If you own your home and don’t mind a little DIY, wall-mounting your TV could be a straightforward option. But if you’re renting or prefer a more flexible layout, it might not be the best fit. The case for TV beds A TV bed does what it says on the tin; it’s a bed which houses a hidden TV in its footboard, rising up at the touch of a button for your viewing pleasure. They’re a sleek and modern space-saving solution that pairs comfort with convenience in one piece of furniture. All of that being said, they can be on the pricier side, so let’s have a closer look at TV bed benefits and considerations. Pros of TV beds Clutter reducing: removes the need for TV stands or units, making your room look less cluttered – some even come with additional built-in storage! Built-in features: as well as storage, they have other built-in tech features, such as speakers, USB charging ports, and wireless remotes Clean aesthetic: as the TV and its cables are housed within the bed’s footboard and there are no bulky wall brackets, TV beds provide a clean and organised aesthetic Suits modern bedrooms: can add a modern and stylish touch to bedrooms with a whole range of various colour and upholstery options available Cons of TV beds Higher cost: typically more expensive than typical bed frames due to their mechanisms and technical components TV size limitations: often have a limitation to the size of TV they can house – you must read any size guidelines before purchasing Potential for distraction: watching too much TV in bed isn’t great for your sleep quality, so make sure you turn it off way before bedtime for a restful sleep If you’re dreaming of a bedroom upgrade that’s as practical as it is cosy, a TV bed could be just the thing. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone who loves a good binge-watch without leaving the duvet. Explore our full range of TV beds. Style and space considerations When playing around with bedroom TV ideas, think about the space you’ve got to work with, as well as the overall design vibe you’re going for. A wall-mounted TV can do the job nicely if your bed’s always in the same spot and you’re happy with a more classic setup. But if your room’s on the smaller side, you’re renting, or you’re all about that clean, modern minimalist look, a TV bed is the pick for you. Everything’s tucked away neatly inside the bed frame, so there’s no trail of wires or extra furniture needed. You’re just left with a calm, stylish space that’s as ready for a good boxset marathon as you are. Everyday use and convenience Watching TV in bed is all about kicking back and getting comfy in ultimate luxury, right? Just hit a button and your screen pops up like magic. No faffing with wires, no awkward angles, no getting out of bed to mess with the remote. With a wall-mounted TV, you might find yourself doing a bit of a wiggle to get the best view. And if you’ve got kids or pets running around, those hanging cables can be more hassle than they’re worth. A TV bed keeps things simple. Tidy, safe, and super relaxing – exactly how bedtime telly should be. Which should you choose? Still can’t decide between a TV bed and a wall-mounted TV? Here’s a quick guide to help you figure it out which one would work best for you: Tech-heads and streamers: Love your gadgets? A TV bed’s got your name on it. With built-in speakers, USB ports and a remote to control the whole thing, it’s like having your own little home cinema right under the duvet. Classic interior lovers: Wall-mounted TVs could be a better choice here as TV beds tend to lend themselves more to modern, clean aesthetics. Space-conscious renters: Renting or not keen on drilling into walls? A wall-mounted TV might be tricky. A TV bed, on the other hand, gives you all the fun without the hassle; no tools, no holes, just turn on and chill out. Minimalism fans: Big on tidy spaces? If you’re after a clean, clutter-free look, a TV bed is the dream. No tangled wires, no bulky units — just sleek design and seriously cosy vibes.
