TV bed vs wall mounted TV: Which is best for your bedroom?
Wall-mounted TVs have their place. They look sharp in a living room, and in the bedroom they can feel modern… as long as you’re okay with the black rectangle looming over your space 24/7. And unless you’ve got a media wall budget, you’ll still have cables to hide or furniture to shuffle around.
A TV bed is a bit of a show-off - in the best way. No screen in sight until you press a button. The TV lifts smoothly from the footboard, plays nice while you’re watching, and then disappears again when you’re done. It’s a cleaner look, a calmer vibe, and it keeps your bedroom feeling like, well, a bedroom.
Here’s the thing wall-mount evangelists don’t always tell you: getting the right height for watching TV in bed is tricky. Too high and you’re craning your neck; too low and you’re peering down like you’re checking security cameras.
With a TV bed, the screen is positioned perfectly for a lying-down Netflix session. No pillows stacked at odd angles, no neck strain — just a direct line of sight from duvet to drama. And because the TV is built into the bed frame, you don’t need to worry about finding the “least awkward” wall.
Mounting a TV on the wall sounds easy until you realise you’ll need to drill, line it up perfectly, hide the cables, and probably re-paint afterwards. And if you’re renting? Good luck explaining those holes to your landlord.
A TV bed is self-contained. No wall damage, no dangling wires, no need for a separate unit to house your sound system. Many models even hide your consoles, remotes, and Blu-ray player (yes, some of us still have them) inside the frame.
Wall-mounted TVs can be smart — but they rely on whatever extras you add: soundbars, consoles, streaming sticks. That’s more gear to find space for, and more cables to corral.
Modern TV beds often arrive fully loaded: built-in surround sound, Bluetooth, USB charging ports, sometimes even hidden storage for your gadgets. For tech lovers, it’s like getting a bed and a home theatre rolled into one — without turning your room into a branch of Currys.
This is where it really comes down to lifestyle. If you want your bedroom to double as a private cinema, a TV bed nails it. It feels indulgent, intentional, and a little bit James Bond. You press a button, the screen rises up, and suddenly the room has a whole different energy.
A wall-mounted TV is fine if you’re after minimal effort and don’t mind the screen being on display all the time. But it doesn’t exactly set the mood — unless the mood you’re going for is “sports bar but with duvets.”

If you like drilling holes, hiding cables, and sleeping under the watchful gaze of a powered-off flatscreen, the wall-mounted TV is your friend.
If you’d rather keep your tech hidden, your space clutter-free, and your binge-watching posture on point, the TV bed takes it. It’s more than a screen - it’s a statement. And once you’ve tried it, you won’t go back.
If you’re going for a TV bed, you might as well go for one that’s built properly — not something that creaks every time you adjust your duvet. At Koble Designs, we design TV beds that aren’t just a gimmick; they’re pieces of furniture you’ll want to show off (even when the TV’s hidden).
Every model blends design-led looks with seriously useful tech. We’re talking whisper-quiet lift mechanisms, built-in 120W sound systems, Bluetooth connectivity, USB charging ports, and fabrics that look as good up close as they do in photos. Many of our designs also include clever ottoman storage or hidden compartments so your room stays clutter-free.
We don’t do “good enough.” We do comfortable, stylish, tech-packed, and made to last. So when you pick a Koble TV bed, you’re not just getting somewhere to sleep — you’re getting a smart centrepiece for your bedroom that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
