Formula

Center Height = Reclined Eye Level + adjustment, with headboard clearance check

The calculator estimates a reclined eye level from bed height, sets an initial TV center height, then raises it if needed to clear the headboard.

Worked Example

Bed height: 25 inches. Headboard height: 20 inches. TV size: 55 inches. The calculator returns recommended center, bottom, and top heights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is bedroom mounting height often higher than living room?

Bedroom viewing typically happens while reclined or propped up in bed, which shifts your line of sight upward. The comfortable viewing position is higher compared to upright sofa seating in a living room.

Does the headboard change the result?

Yes. If the calculated bottom edge of the TV would be blocked by the headboard, the calculator raises the TV to clear the headboard top with adequate spacing.

What size TV works best in a bedroom?

Bedrooms typically have shorter viewing distances (6 to 9 feet), so 40 to 55 inch TVs are most common. Use the TV Size Distance Calculator to find the right size for your specific room.

Should I use a tilting mount in the bedroom?

A slight downward tilt (3 to 5 degrees) can improve comfort for bedroom viewing, especially if the TV is mounted above headboard height. This directs the screen toward your reclined eye position.

Can I mount the TV on the ceiling for bedroom viewing?

Ceiling mounts exist for bedroom use and allow lying flat while watching. However, this calculator assumes wall mounting. For ceiling mounts, consult the mount manufacturer specifications for your TV weight.
