TV beds. Small double TV beds, to be precise.
Continue reading to find out when and where you can watch the games at home, and why a small double TV bed is the perfect addition to your bedroom for the 2024 Olympic Games.
When are the 2024 Paris Olympic Games?
Olympic events will commence on the 24th of July, with football, rugby, handball and archery tournaments starting before the official opening ceremony, which, as we mentioned earlier, will be held two days later on the 26th.
Daily games will commence (you can find the full competition schedule online), with the final games taking place on Sunday the 11th of August, followed by the closing ceremony on the same day from 8:00pm to 10:15pm.
How can I watch the 2024 Olympic Games?
If you aren’t heading to Paris to watch the games live in action, there are plenty of ways you can watch from the comfort of your own home.
The BBC is the official viewing platform for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, and they will broadcast the games, in real-time, on BBC Sport and BBC iPlayer.
So long as you have a valid TV license, you can watch the games for free on these platforms from your TV and an array of other devices.
Setting up your small double TV bed in time for the Olympics
If you’re planning on watching the games at home in your bedroom, a TV bed is a must.
When choosing a TV bed, you should ensure that it fits snuggly in your space.
A small double TV bed is ideal for most bedrooms and is typically around 120cm wide, which is plenty of space for you to get comfortable and cheer on your favourite athletes.
If you’re planning on upgrading your TV to go with your brand-new bed, you should make sure it’s the right size for your small double TV bed frame, which can house up to a 43-inch television. You should also choose a high-resolution TV, as this provides the clearest and most immersive viewing experience.
Finally, when choosing a space in your bedroom for your new small double TV bed, you should ensure that there’s lots of space left for other furniture.
Enhance your viewing experience
Here are our tips for the ultimate 2024 Olympics viewing experience:
1. Connect all your devices
Most TV beds will come with various features – such as HDMI ports and USB charging connections – that help take your viewing experience to the next level.
You can hook up all compatible devices from gaming consoles to streaming devices like the Amazon Firestick and Google Chromecast, to make watching the games easier (and cosier!) than ever.
Don’t forget to log in to your BBC iPlayer account, and make sure you have a valid TV license in place before you begin watching!
2. Utilise built-in features
Some beds feature built-in features such as LED lighting and soundbars, which you should consider using to add an extra layer of depth to your entertainment experience.
If your frame doesn’t have a built-in sound system, you can easily integrate one yourself, by plugging one end into the HDMI port and the other into the available port on your soundbar.
3. Consider additional accessories
We’re talking blankets, pillows, and all the other good stuff.
Here at TV Bed, we supply a range of extras – from high-quality mattress protectors to duvet covers and pillowcases – that will pair perfectly with your new small double TV bed.
