What Size TV Bed Do You Need for a Bedsit?

In most bedsits a small double TV bed is the right size. It takes a 120cm by 190cm mattress, sleeps one person comfortably and leaves enough floor for a desk, a chair and a clear route to the kitchen area. In this guide we explain why size matters more in a single room, where the bed also acts as sofa and reading spot, and how to measure the space properly before choosing. We compare single, small double and double TV beds in practical terms, show how much clear floor to leave around the frame and suggest layouts that work well in a bedsit, including placing one long side against the wall. You will also find advice on storage, socket positions and renting, a comparison with a standard small double plus TV stand, and a short checklist to run through before you order so the bed fits both the room and the route up the stairs....
