Best Bed Frames With TV Storage: Which Style Fits?
What are some good bed frames with TV storage?
A good bed frame with TV storage depends on what you want to put away: the television itself, streaming equipment, or the everyday clutter around your screen. We’d start by choosing between a TV-lift footboard, built-in media shelves, and under-bed storage. Each solves a different problem, so the right choice is the one that keeps your setup easy to use.
For a TV that disappears: a lift footboard
A TV-lift bed has a cabinet-style footboard that raises the screen when you want to watch and hides it when you’re done. It’s the most direct answer if you want the television stored in the frame. Before buying, compare the lift’s stated TV size and weight limits with your screen, and make sure there’s room at the foot of the bed for the unit and its power connection. Also consider the footboard height when the TV is lowered; it will remain a visible piece of furniture.
For streaming gear: a storage headboard
If the TV is wall-mounted or sits across the room, a headboard with shelves, cubbies, or a concealed compartment can hold a remote, controller, and small devices without adding another nightstand. Open shelves make frequently used items easy to reach; closed storage gives the room a tidier look. Our team favors a design with a practical route for power cords, so cables don’t have to drape across the bed.
Built-in charging can be useful here, too. For an example of how lighting, charging, and headboard storage can work together, see our guide to a queen LED bed frame with a storage headboard. That combination is best for bedside accessories, not for hiding a full-size television.
For the rest of the setup: drawers or a lift-up base
Under-bed drawers can give you a dedicated place for spare cables, games, and accessories. A lift-up storage base offers a larger compartment when you don’t need to reach those items every day. Either way, think about access before choosing: drawers need clearance beside the bed, while a lift-up base needs a clear path above it.
We’d choose a TV-lift frame when hiding the screen is the priority. If your screen already has a home, a storage headboard paired with under-bed storage is usually the more flexible way to keep media essentials organized.
FAQ
Can you put a TV on a bed frame headboard?
Only if the headboard is specifically designed and rated to support a TV. For most storage headboards, you’re better off mounting the screen separately and using the shelves for smaller accessories.
