TV mount for the bedroom: comfortable viewing from bed
A television in the bedroom is often mounted higher than in the living room because you usually watch while partially lying down. The right mount depends on the available wall space, the viewing direction, the weight, and the VESA size of the television. With a swivel or tilting mount, you can adjust the viewing angle to the position of the bed.
Also read the comprehensive guide to the ideal TV height. It covers measuring from a lying position.
Which mount is right for your bedroom?
Fixed or tilting wall mount
A fixed mount keeps the television close to the wall. If the screen is mounted higher, a tilting mount may be more comfortable. Check whether the desired tilt angle is actually achievable.
Swivel mount for the corner
Do you have little wall space, or is the bed not directly opposite the wall? A swivel mount can move the screen toward the bed. Check beforehand whether the television can rotate freely without touching the wall. Read the separate guide on TV corner mounting.
Ceiling mount for a TV in the corner of the bedroom
Not every bedroom has enough space for a swivel or tilting wall mount. Is there a cabinet next to the bed, are there windows, or is there little free wall space? In that case, a swivel TV ceiling mount can be a space-saving alternative. You can hang the television close to a corner on the ceiling and point it toward the bed without using a long wall arm.
View our TV ceiling mounts. Check each model to make sure the mount is actually swivelable and, if applicable, tiltable. Also consider the mounting length and the space the TV needs when rotating.
What should you consider when mounting to the ceiling?
- Measure the clearance between the ceiling, bed, cabinets, and the rotating television.
- Check the TV weight, VESA size, and the mount's load capacity.
- Mount only to a suitable load-bearing ceiling structure.
- With a sloped ceiling, the mount must be explicitly suitable for angled mounting.
- Determine the viewing height from the bed and plan a safe cable route.

Frequently asked questions about bedroom TV mounts
How high should a TV be mounted opposite my bed?
There is no universal height. Determine the position from your usual lying or sitting position and test whether you can watch without an uncomfortable neck position.
Is a tilting mount necessary?
Not always, but tilting can help adjust the viewing direction when the screen is positioned higher.
Can a TV be mounted on a sloped wall?
Only with a suitable mount and a structure that can safely support the load. Check the permitted mounting orientation.
