TV bed for small rooms: Big comfort, small footprint
TV beds aren’t just a luxury — they’re a genuinely smart use of space, especially in UK homes where the second bedroom is often more “snug” than “spare.”
Here’s why:
With the screen hidden in the footboard, you save on furniture (and arguments about where to mount the telly).
Many compact TV beds come with ottoman-style bases or built-in drawers. That’s your bedding, cables, and miscellaneous chaos sorted.
It’s a bed. It’s a telly. It’s a vibe. You don’t need to decorate around five separate gadgets when one neat piece of furniture does the lot.
Let’s break down your top picks for compact, clever and cosy TV beds that are ideal for small spaces — whether you’re in a flat, a box room, or just want your bedroom to feel less cluttered.
For: Tech lovers who hoard under the bed
Small room? Big energy. The Wafer is ideal for tight spaces that still want the full experience — built-in smart TV, 120W sound system, Bluetooth audio, and a lift-up ottoman base for serious storage.
✔️ Space-saving
✔️ Ottoman storage for bedding, remotes, general life clutter
✔️ TV tucks away when not in use
✔️ USB ports = no crawling under the bed for sockets

For: Compact doesn’t mean boring
The Chevron is compact in footprint, bold in style. It’s got the same smart lift-up TV action and underbed storage, wrapped in a geometric headboard that adds a designer feel to smaller rooms.
✔️ Subwoofer and surround sound speakers
✔️ Clean, no-cable look
✔️ Great in small double or compact king-size setups
For: Box rooms and single-bed upgrades
Not ready for king-size commitment? A small double TV bed is ideal for guest rooms, student flats, or that tiny “office” you’re converting. Keep an eye out for frames that measure around 120cm wide — roomy enough for comfort, narrow enough for awkward corners.
✔️ Fits in 2.2–2.5m wide rooms
✔️ Pair with a wall-mounted shelf or mini bedside table
💡 Pro tip: Koble’s beds come in multiple sizes - so if you’re tight on room, go small double and reclaim your floor space.
Shopping for a TV bed for a small room? Here’s what matters:
Still think your room’s too small for a TV bed? Nah.
If you’ve got:
…then you’re basically already using up the same amount of space a compact smart TV bed would take. The difference? A TV bed looks better, works harder, and doesn’t require a weekend of cable organising.
It’s one of the easiest ways to:
TV bed is a bed frame with a built-in mechanism that raises and reveals a television, allowing the screen to be hidden when not in use and creating a clean, uncluttered look.
Because it takes up minimal additional floor space and hides the screen when unused, a TV bed optimizes layout and avoids needing extra furniture or wall space.
No - quality TV beds use smooth, controlled lift mechanisms (often gas-spring or motorized) engineered to limit vibration and protect both the screen and frame.
You may face higher cost, more complex installation, maintenance of mechanical parts over time, less flexibility for upgrading screen size, and constraints on mattress and bed height design.
Cables are routed internally through the bed frame and guided through channels or conduits inside the mechanism so that they stay hidden and untangled.
