August 1, 2024

Summer is synonymous with vibrant music festivals, where music is life and the atmosphere is alive with excitement and anticipation. But making it to a festival in the flesh isn’t always an option. What with work and life commitments, a weekend of letting go and embracing the heart and soul of the music festival experience just isn’t possible for many of us.

And some of us simply just prefer the comfort of our own homes.

Whatever your reason for not being able to attend a music festival this summer, non-attendance doesn’t have to mean missing out entirely.

With a little creative thinking, you can bring the magic of a music festival to your home instead! As long as you’ve got the right setup, you’ll be quipped to enjoy those festival vibes without having to leave the comfort of your space.

From TV beds with built in sound systems to sofa beds, guest beds, and beyond, we offer plenty of options to get that festival vibe-functionality balance just right. Here’s what you need to know to take your at-home summer music festival experience to new heights.

TV beds: ultimate comfort and entertainment hub

TV beds are a game-changer for music lovers. If you want to indulge in the festival experience without sacrificing comfort, this bed type is exactly what you’re looking for.

TV beds come equipped with built-in TV screens at the foot of the bed. And our TV beds even include a TVin the price. They’re perfect for streaming live performances or watching pre-recorded gigs or concerts.

Picture yourself lying back on a plush mattress, immersed in high-quality sound, as your favourite band performs just for you. This immersive experience has the potential to make you feel like you’re right there in the very front row at the music festival. Except you’re not. You’re actually still wrapped up in the cosiness of your own bedroom. And there’s a clean toilet just a few metres away.

Before you decide whether a TV bed frame is right for you, here are some of their other benefits:

  • Entertainment integration. Forget trying to balance your laptop on your duvet. And forget having to strain your neck to be able to see an awkwardly positioned TV in your bedroom. A bed with a built-in TV guarantees you the best seat in the house, ensuring you stay comfy during those long hours of festival streaming.
  • Space-saving designs. Some of TV beds are also equipped with ottoman storage. This additional storage space in your bedroom minimises the need for additional furniture, creating a sleek and clutter-free space to enjoy your festival streaming session.
  • Luxurious comfort. TV beds combine luxury with practicality perfectly. And as long as you pair yours with the right mattress for your comfort wants and needs, you’ll be able to enjoy the best of both worlds for years to come.

Guest beds: hosting festival watch parties

What’s a music festival without a few friends to share the atmosphere with? Hosting a watch party at home is a great way to bring the festival vibe to life.

But these festivals can go on pretty late. And if your guests are enjoying a drink or two while they’re over, guest beds are likely to be essential. Especially if your friends are travelling to your home from further away.

Guest beds are a great idea for every household with the space for them. Having one means that you are always able to accommodate friends and family.Plus in our collection, you’ll find some guest beds that have been specifically designed to be super comfyand space-efficient at the same time.

Before you head out to buy a guest bed ahead of hosting your very own festival watch-party at home, here are some of the key features they boast:

  • Convenience. Generally, guest beds are easy-peasy to set up when needed. And they’re just as easy to stow away again, making them an ideal solution for impromptu sleepovers.
  • Comfort. Many of our guest beds come with high-quality mattresses that deliver a good night’s sleep. This helps to ensure that your watch party guests are well-rested and ready for another day of festival fun.
  • Space-efficiency. When they’re not in use, many guest beds can be folded down and stored away, giving you back that essential space in your home.

Sofa beds: versatility meets style

Sofa beds are the ultimate multi-purpose furniture solution. And their versatility makes them an excellent addition to your music festival setup.

By day, they serve as stylish seating for watching performances and socialising; by night, they transform into comfortable beds for those late-night crashes.

Convinced? Here are some of the key benefits of having a sofa bed in your home:

  • Dual functionality. Sofa beds can be switched almost effortlessly between seating and sleeping arrangements. Basically, this allows you to maximise your living space.
  • Tailored to your tastes. Sofa beds are available in a range of designs, colours and finishes. Think of investing in a sofa bed as enhancing the aesthetics of your living room while doubling up as an extra sleeping space.
  • Comfort and support. Modern sofa beds are designed with comfort in mind, featuring quality mattresses that ensure a restful sleep.

Creating the perfect festival atmosphere

To truly bring the music festival to your home, consider adding a few more touches to complement your TV bed, guest bed, and sofa bed setup:

  • Lighting. Lighting is a key part of the sensory experience at a music festival. So, if you’re hosting a festival experience at home, string lights and LED candles are good to have. They can help you to create a warm and inviting ambience.
  • Sound system. Investing in a good sound system to replicate the booming festival audio experience is a must too. If you’re splashing out on a TV bed, then you’ll be in safe hands as many of our models incorporate great quality sound systems. If this is a requirement, be sure to read the details included in the product write ups.
  • Décor. Finish your home with some festival-themed decorations. Maybe put up a poster or two of your favourite bands, add some cosy throws or blankets, and dress yourself from head to toe in your festival inspired outfit of choice.

Bring the festivals home: our conclusion

TV beds, guest beds, and sofa beds provide the opportunity to recreate the thrilling and communal spirit of a music festival. So whether you’re hosting a watch party, or enjoying a festival streaming binge solo, having versatile pieces of furniture help to raise the comfort and convenience levels, and all while adding a touch of luxury. So this summer, why not let the music play, the lights shine, and the festival spirit take over your home?!
