The Best TV Beds with Swivel Mounts

A swivel mount turns a TV bed into a far more flexible piece of furniture. Once the screen has risen from the footboard, it can rotate toward an armchair, a desk or an open floor area, so you can watch from more than one place without fixing anything to the wall. This guide explains how swivel mounts work, the difference between motorised and manual rotation, and who benefits most from the feature. We set out the details that separate well engineered models, including a full rise before rotation, a sensible turning range, weight and VESA ratings, quiet operation and obstruction sensors. You will also find advice on planning the room around a swivel, from reading chairs and desk positions to viewing distance and screen size. We compare swivel TV beds with articulated wall brackets, then cover upholstery choices, installation and cable routing, simple everyday care and ideas for making the most of the feature....
