Happybeds Shelly (Cream Fabric, Electric TV Bed)

What size TV can this bed accommodate?

The Shelly TV bed can hold televisions up to 43 inches in size. The footboard mechanism is specifically designed for this maximum screen size to ensure proper fit and safe operation. Smaller TVs will also work perfectly, but larger screens won't fit within the footboard compartment. The TV storage area provides adequate ventilation to prevent overheating during use.

Does the TV come included with the bed?

No, the television is not included with the bed purchase. You'll need to purchase your TV separately and install it into the footboard mechanism. The bed comes with mounting hardware and detailed instructions for TV installation. Most standard 43-inch TVs will be compatible, but you should check the mounting requirements match your chosen television model.

How does the electric lift mechanism work?

The bed includes a motorised lift system controlled by a remote control. When you press the button, the TV rises smoothly from the footboard to your desired viewing angle. The mechanism operates quietly and can be stopped at any position during its travel. When finished watching, the TV lowers back into the footboard where it's completely hidden from view. The system requires mains power connection.

What are the exact dimensions of this bed?

The King Size version measures 229.5cm long × 159cm wide × 101cm high. The Super King Size measures 229.5cm long × 189cm wide × 101cm high. These external dimensions include the headboard and footboard. The mattress sizes are 150cm × 200cm for King Size and 180cm × 200cm for Super King Size. You should ensure your bedroom has adequate space around the bed for comfortable movement.

Is assembly required and how difficult is it?

Yes, the bed requires assembly but comes with comprehensive instructions and all necessary hardware. Most people can complete assembly in 2-3 hours with basic tools. The TV mechanism comes pre-assembled to reduce complexity. You'll need to attach the headboard, footboard, side rails and slatted base. Two people make assembly easier, particularly when positioning the heavier footboard section containing the TV mechanism.

What type of mattress works best with this bed?

The sprung slatted base works well with all mattress types including memory foam, pocket sprung, orthopaedic and traditional spring mattresses. The flexible slats provide good support and airflow regardless of mattress choice. Memory foam mattresses benefit particularly from the slatted base as it prevents heat retention. The bed can support mattresses up to 25cm thick without affecting the overall appearance or TV mechanism operation.

How much weight can the bed support?

The bed frame can safely support up to 250kg total weight including mattress, occupants and any bedding. The robust construction uses quality materials and reinforced joints to ensure long-term durability. The TV mechanism adds structural strength to the footboard area. The sprung slatted base distributes weight evenly across the frame. This weight capacity covers most sleeping arrangements including couples and heavier individuals.

Can the cream fabric be cleaned or maintained?

The cream fabric upholstery should be maintained using dry cloth cleaning methods only. Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment helps remove dust and debris. For spot cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid soaking the fabric or using harsh chemicals which could damage the material or affect the colour. The cream colour is chosen to hide minor marks better than darker fabrics whilst maintaining a fresh appearance.
