With smart homes and innovative design solutions on the rise, under bed TV lifts have emerged as one of the most exciting new ways to view television — from the comfort of your bed. By hiding out of sight beneath the bed then rising into position when you want to use them, they merge functionality and aesthetics.
But making this kind of purchase is a big decision, so make sure you know what to expect. We’ll run through the mechanisms behind the workings of bedroom TV lifts and their benefits and drawbacks.
You may have encountered traditional bed end TV lift mechanisms, which typically hide the television in a cabinet at the foot of the bed. Then, when you want to view the screen, a motor ensures the TV rises.
Under the bed TV lifts (UBLs) also use motorised mechanisms so users can conceal the television when it isn’t in use. However, the television remains nestled underneath the bed when it isn’t in use.
This is possible thanks to a clever design that means the screen transitions from horizontal (as it slides out of the bed) to vertical (as it rises up). As a result, the television remains undamaged throughout the lifting process. You can watch a video from the manufacturer to see this process in action!
Once the television is in place, it slots into the perfect viewing distance for whoever is lying on the bed.
This article focuses on the Future Automation Under Bed TV lift. However, most of the points covered also apply to other models and brands.
Let’s start with the good stuff.
Using an under the bed TV lift means the television won’t be visible when you don’t want it to be.
Our bedrooms are the place of rest — they’re where we go to unwind after a long day. While many of us enjoy watching TV from the comfort of our bed sometimes, we may not want to be met with a vast screen whenever we walk into our resting space.
An under bed TV lift is a solution that helps to retain the zen ambience of a bedroom by keeping the screen out of sight.
The space-saving design of bedroom TV lifts also frees up valuable floor space in your room, helping to reduce clutter.
This makes it an excellent choice for smaller rooms or anywhere space is at a premium. It doesn’t require additional furniture, offering more flexibility over room layout.
You can also say goodbye to unsightly cables — the frame has built-in cable management, ensuring it is safely stowed with a safe mechanism operation.
While most people want an under bed TV to watch the television when lying on their bed, a TV lift can rotate in any direction.
This means you can also rotate it to face away from the bed if you want to view it from elsewhere.
The Future Automation Under The Bed TV lift has a practically silent motor. This makes it a great choice for everyday homes (or houses with other people sleeping in rooms nearby).
Despite the clear advantages of under bed TV lifts, these products aren’t for everyone. Here are some drawbacks to be aware of before you click “purchase.”
Since the Future Automation Under Bed TV Lift has a more sophisticated design and mechanisms than traditional TV lifts. As a result, they come with a higher price tag — and it’s certainly a more expensive solution than simply placing a TV stand at the end of your bed.
Arguably, you can’t put a price on the comfort of your bedroom, but it’s always important to be mindful of budget.
Like many things, under bed TV lifts come with a tradeoff. If you want to benefit from the clutter-free and discreet look of storing your TV screen under your bed, you sacrifice the storage space you would have had.
But on the bright side, you gain that space in the rest of the room!
While the Future Automation under bed TV lift comes fully built and can be integrated straightaway without self-assembly, some people may still find it tricky to set it up.
