The future is here, and if you want proof, look no further than the advent of the TV bed.
These high-tech pieces of furniture squirrel away a full-sized screen in the foot of the bed, making it easy to watch everything from the latest blockbusters to the must-see boxset from arguably the most comfortable place in your home.
TV beds are perfect for anyone who rents without a living space to share, as well as those who want the ultimate in laidback luxury, while gamers will discover the obvious appeal too.
There’s no need to install brackets to the wall as the TV is supported by your bed frame. If you’re looking for multifunctional furniture, especially for those living in smaller homes, this, along with a storage sofa or a sofa bed, comes up trumps.
You’d think such technology would come at a hefty price, but TV beds really aren’t as expensive as you would imagine. Most cost a little more than a standard high-quality bed frame, around the £1k mark, although there are plenty of sales to be found to relieve the strain on your wallet. Some come with TVs included, while others have compartments for your existing set to slide into.
We’ve found the nicest looking options to check out below.
