TV bed with storage: the dream combo for small spaces

Let’s be real: UK bedrooms aren’t known for being huge. So when you can combine your telly, your bed, and a sneaky spot to stash your stuff all in one?
It’s exactly what it sounds like - a TV bed with hidden storage underneath or around the frame. Most fall into one of two categories:
And yes, the TV still rises up from the footboard at the press of a button. So you’re not giving up any tech for the sake of being tidy. In fact, you’re levelling up your bedroom setup on all fronts.
Aside from the obvious “because I have no wardrobe space left,” here are some reasons to go all-in on this hybrid bit of genius:
✅ Saves space: No need for a separate TV unit or chest of drawers.
✅ Keeps it tidy: Store duvets, spare pillows, cables, seasonal clothes - out of sight, out of mind.
✅ Streamlined look: No extra furniture = no visual clutter.
✅ Perfect for UK homes: Especially handy in flats, box rooms, or smaller master bedrooms.
✅ Doubles up on luxury + practicality: You get the indulgence of a smart bed, but with real-world usefulness.
Right, let’s get into the good stuff. These are the best options if you’re after a TV bed with storage that doesn’t skimp on tech, looks, or quality.
Best for: Smart tech meets full-on storage power
Meet the Wafer: sleek on the outside, genius on the inside. It’s an ottoman-style smart TV bed with a 120W sound system, built-in subwoofer, Bluetooth connectivity and enough underbed storage to hide a winter wardrobe and then some.

Best for: Statement style and tech you’ll actually use
The Chevron brings angles, attitude, and all the features you didn’t know you needed. With an integrated smart TV, ottoman base, and surround sound system, it’s basically a home cinema disguised as a bed.

Best for: Affordable ottoman bed base with TV lift
A budget-friendly pick that doesn’t skip the essentials. The Berlin from Birlea includes a gas-lift ottoman base and foot-end TV mount (TV not included, but easily added). Ideal if you want a simple TV bed with storage that’s fuss-free.
Why it’s great:
Cons:
You may face higher costs, more complex installation, limited options for upgrading TV size, more maintenance (mechanical parts), and constraints on mattress height or bed design.
A TV bed with storage combines the rising TV mechanism with built-in storage compartments (drawers, lift-up panels) to maximise both entertainment and space efficiency.
It consolidates furniture: instead of needing a TV stand and separate storage units, the bed becomes both your media setup and your storage hub, freeing up floor space.
Quality models use robust, well-engineered mechanisms (gas springs or motorised lifts) that are designed to be stable, limit vibration, and withstand repeated use over time.
Cables are routed internally through the bed frame and guided through channels or conduits inside the mechanism so that they stay hidden and untangled.
