What size is a King size TV bed?
A king-size bed with TV takes a 5ft x 6ft6 in mattress, which measures 150cm x 200cm. The frame sits wider and longer than the mattress because of the upholstered side rails, the headboard, and the TV housing at the foot.
Allow roughly 160cm to 175cm across and 215cm to 235cm end to end. You need extra floor space at the foot of the bed and clearance around the entire frame to walk and operate the automated TV lift safely.
Leave 60cm to 75cm of walking space on every side you use daily. Keep the foot end clear as well, because the screen travels straight up out of the footboard. A low window ledge, a radiator shelf or a sloped ceiling at that end will block the lift.
Measure the doorway, the landing and the turn of your stairs before delivery day. The footboard section carrying the lift mechanism is the bulkiest single part of any kingsize bed frame with TV, so plan the space in advance.
What storage options are available in King size TV beds?
Two storage builds are available in king size TV beds UK range. Ottoman bases lift on gas struts and open the entire area beneath the mattress. Divan bases hold drawers set into the sides or the foot end. Both carry the same TV lift inside the footboard.
King size ottoman TV beds
A king size ottoman TV bed gives you the largest storage volume available at this width. The base rises on twin gas pistons and stays held open while you load it, so the whole footprint opens in one movement. Duvets, suitcases, winter coats and spare pillows all fit without splitting them across separate compartments.
Ottoman TV beds UK open either from the side or from the foot end. Side lifting bases work well when you have a clear floor along one long wall. Foot lifting bases suit beds pushed into an alcove with walls close on both sides. Check which way your chosen model opens before deciding where the bed sits.
Gas struts carry the weight, so lifting stays light even with a heavy mattress in place. Keep the load balanced across the base rather than piled into one corner.
King size divan storage TV beds
A divan base keeps storage inside drawers built into the frame. Two-drawer, four-drawer and end-drawer layouts all pair with a TV bed king-size frame. Drawers glide on runners and open into the room, which makes them quicker for the items you reach for every morning.
Divan storage suits anyone who would rather not lift a base at all. Older buyers and anyone with back trouble usually choose drawers for that reason. You do need a clear floor in front of each drawer, so a bed set against a narrow wall may only allow drawers on one side.
Choosing between the two comes down to what you store. Ottoman bases handle bulky bedding and luggage far better. Drawers win for folded clothes and daily use because you open only the section you need.
