What Size TV Fits in a TV Bed?

Most TV beds are designed to hold a flat screen of a specific maximum size, and the figure that matters is the one stated by the manufacturer for that particular lift. Screen size alone is not enough, though. The width of the footboard housing, the depth of the cavity, the weight limit of the mechanism and the mounting pattern on the back of the television all need to line up before a set will fit and work safely. In this guide we explain how to read TV bed specifications, how to measure a television properly rather than relying on its diagonal, and why slim bezels and lightweight panels make life easier. We also cover viewing distance in UK bedrooms, how mattress height affects your eye line, where cables should run and what to do if your current television is larger than the lift allows, so you can choose a bed and screen that genuinely work together every evening....
