There is a version of a wall mounted TV setup that looks genuinely brilliant.
The screen is flush against the wall. The soundbar sits directly below it, perfectly centred, perfectly aligned, looking like it was designed to be there rather than placed there as an afterthought. No visible cables hanging between them. No gap between the soundbar and the TV that makes the two look like separate objects that happen to be near each other. Just a clean, considered, integrated setup that looks like something out of a showroom.
And then there is the version most people actually end up with. The TV is on the wall. The Sonos Playbar is on a TV cabinet below it, slightly off centre, connected by a visible HDMI cable that droops between them. Or worse, the Playbar is sitting on top of the cabinet with the TV on the wall above it, and the two look like they belong to completely different installations.
The Flexson Wall Mount for Sonos Playbar is what bridges that gap between the version you imagined and the version you actually want to live with. It mounts the Playbar directly to the wall alongside the TV as a single integrated unit, and the result is exactly the clean seamless setup that was in your head when you first bought the Playbar.
What Is the Flexson Wall Mount for Sonos Playbar?
It is a precision engineered wall mounting system designed specifically for the Sonos Playbar. Rather than mounting the TV and the Playbar separately on the wall and then trying to align them manually, the Flexson mount lets you wall mount both as one unified piece of hardware.
It holds a Sonos Playbar and a compatible television flush on the wall to save space, allowing you to wall mount both your TV and the Sonos Playbar as a seamless unit.
Flexson makes two versions of the Playbar wall mount and it is worth understanding what each one does before you choose.
The first is the flat to wall mount. This ultra slim bracket holds your TV and soundbar just over half an inch away from the wall with steel construction and a powder coated black finish. Everything sits tight against the wall, perfectly flush, in a fixed position.
The second is the screen mount, which attaches the Playbar directly to your existing full motion TV wall bracket. This design securely holds your Playbar in place while allowing it to move with the screen, so wherever you angle your TV the Sonos Playbar stays directly underneath it for optimal sound.
Both versions are precision engineered in the UK by Flexson to match the size, style, and colour of the Sonos Playbar exactly.
The Flat to Wall Mount: When You Want Everything Fixed and Flush
If you want your TV setup to look like it was built into the wall, the flat to wall version is the right choice.
The ultra slim design sits your TV and soundbar just over half an inch from the wall surface, with steel construction and a powder coated black finish.That distance from the wall is genuinely minimal. When you stand back and look at the finished installation, the TV and Playbar together look almost like a framed panel on the wall rather than a mounted TV with a separate soundbar underneath it.
The mount holds up to 88 pounds for sturdy support and helps you align the screen and speaker for optimum visual integration. That weight capacity covers the vast majority of flat screen televisions in the 37 to 55 inch range that the Playbar is most commonly paired with.
The flat to wall version is the right choice when the TV position is fixed and you know it is never going to be angled or pulled away from the wall. Think of a bedroom TV that faces one direction permanently, a living room where the sofa is fixed directly opposite the screen, or a commercial installation where the display needs to sit completely flush against the wall. In all of these scenarios the flat to wall mount delivers the cleanest possible result.
The Screen Mount: When Your TV Swivels and the Playbar Needs to Follow
Here is a problem that more people have than you might expect.
You mount your TV on a full motion articulating wall bracket, the kind that pulls out and swivels so you can angle the screen toward different parts of the room. This is great for viewing flexibility. But the moment you swing the TV to the side, the Playbar stays pointing at the wall where the TV used to be. The picture is now over here. The sound is still coming from over there.
The Flexson Screen Mount is designed to attach the Playbar to a full motion TV wall mount, so the Sonos Playbar follows the TV however you angle it, for clear, powerful sound that stays locked in with the picture.
The mount fits any VESA compatible TV up to 65 inches using fixed or articulating wall mounts with two vertical mounting arms, and is precision engineered to perfectly match the size, style, and colour of the Sonos Playbar.
The practical result is that when you pull the TV out to watch something from the dining table instead of the sofa, the Playbar swings with it. When you push it back to the wall, the Playbar goes back too. The relationship between screen and sound stays consistent regardless of where you aim the television.
M6 and M8 hardware is included in the box, and the combined weight of the Sonos Playbar and the Flexson screen mount is approximately 21 pounds, which needs to be added to the TV weight when checking the wall mount’s weight rating.This is an important practical detail to check before purchasing. If your existing TV wall bracket is already at its weight limit with the television alone, you need to verify it can handle the additional combined weight of the Playbar and the Flexson mount before proceeding.
Steel Construction: Built to Hold Real Weight Properly
The Sonos Playbar is a substantial piece of equipment and any mount holding it alongside a television needs to be engineered accordingly.
Both versions of the Flexson Playbar wall mount are built from steel with a powder coated finish. This is not a product that has been built down to a price point. It is a product that was built to do the job properly, which means using materials that hold real weight securely over the long term without flexing, creeping, or degrading.
Steel construction with a powder coated black finish ensures durability while maintaining a sleek, low profile appearance.
The powder coat finish does two things. It protects the steel from corrosion and surface damage over time, and it gives the bracket a consistent matte black appearance that sits quietly behind and beneath the TV rather than drawing attention to itself. The goal is for the mount to be invisible in the finished installation. Steel with a good powder coat finish achieves that in a way that cheaper painted materials simply do not.
The Visual Outcome: What the Room Actually Looks Like When It Is Done
Let us talk about this specifically because it is ultimately the reason most people buy this product.
A TV on the wall with a Playbar mounted directly below it using the Flexson system looks intentional. The alignment between the screen and the soundbar is precise. The gap between them is consistent and correct. The soundbar is not visibly attached to a separate bracket that extends from the wall at a different depth than the TV mount. Everything sits at the same distance from the wall, at the same angle, moving together if it is the articulating version.
Cables are the remaining variable and it is worth thinking about cable management before installation day. The HDMI cable connecting the Playbar to the TV and the power cable for the Playbar both need to go somewhere. For the cleanest possible finish, routing these cables through the wall to a concealed junction behind the TV is the professional approach. If in wall routing is not possible, a surface mounted cable trunking in a matching colour is the next best option. Either way, thinking about cables before you drill the first hole saves a lot of frustration later.
With the cables handled and the mount installed properly, the result is a living room wall that looks like it was designed by someone who cares about how things look. Which is exactly the outcome the Flexson Playbar wall mount was built to deliver.
Playbar vs Newer Sonos Soundbars: A Quick Note
The Sonos Playbar is an older product in the Sonos lineup, having been superseded by the Arc and Beam as Sonos’s current soundbar offerings. If you own a Playbar and love it, the Flexson wall mount is absolutely the right accessory to get it properly installed on your wall.
If you are starting fresh and choosing a Sonos soundbar today, it is worth knowing that Flexson also makes wall mounting solutions for the Sonos Arc and Sonos Beam. The engineering principles are the same across all of these products. The specific bracket is matched to the specific soundbar model.
For existing Playbar owners looking to complete their installation properly, the Flexson wall mount remains one of the most satisfying upgrades available for the setup.
Who Should Buy the Flexson Wall Mount for Sonos Playbar?
This is the right product for anyone who owns a Sonos Playbar and wants it properly wall mounted rather than sitting on a surface below or beside the television.
The flat to wall version is the right choice when the television is fixed in a permanent position and the goal is the slimmest, flattest, most integrated look possible. The screen mount version is the right choice when the television is on an articulating full motion bracket and the Playbar needs to move with it.
In both cases the result is a setup that looks finished, works properly, and makes the living room feel like the audio and visual elements were designed together rather than assembled separately over time.

FAQ
Q1. What is the Flexson Wall Mount for Sonos Playbar and how many versions are there?
The Flexson Wall Mount for Sonos Playbar is a purpose built mounting system that wall mounts the Sonos Playbar alongside a television as a seamless integrated unit. There are two versions. The flat to wall mount holds the TV and Playbar flush against the wall in a fixed position, sitting just over half an inch from the wall surface. The screen mount attaches the Playbar to an existing full motion articulating TV wall bracket so the Playbar moves with the screen whenever the TV is angled. Both are precision engineered from steel in the UK to match the size and colour of the Sonos Playbar.
Q2. What is the difference between the flat to wall mount and the screen mount?
The flat to wall mount is a complete mounting system that holds both the TV and the Playbar directly to the wall in a fixed position. It is the right choice when the TV will never be angled or pulled away from the wall. The screen mount attaches the Playbar to an existing full motion TV wall bracket so that when the TV is swivelled or pulled out, the Playbar moves with it and stays directly below the screen at all times. The screen mount is the right choice when the TV is on an articulating bracket and sound and picture need to stay aligned regardless of viewing angle.
Q3. What TV sizes are compatible with the Flexson Playbar wall mount?
The flat to wall version is designed for TVs in the 37 to 55 inch range. The screen mount version fits any VESA compatible display up to 65 inches using articulating wall mounts with two vertical mounting arms. It supports a wide range of VESA mounting patterns from 100 by 100 mm up to 600 by 400 mm, covering the vast majority of flat screen televisions currently available.
Q4. How close to the wall does the flat to wall mount sit?
The flat to wall version positions the TV and Playbar approximately half an inch from the wall surface. This ultra slim profile gives the installation a flush, integrated appearance that makes the TV and soundbar look like they are part of the wall rather than mounted on it.
Q5. Does the screen mount work with any TV wall bracket or only specific ones?
The screen mount is designed to work with standard VESA compatible full motion articulating TV wall brackets that have two vertical mounting arms. It will not work with all wall bracket designs, specifically those with only a single central arm. Before purchasing the screen mount, check that your existing TV wall bracket has two vertical arms and that it can support the combined weight of the TV, the Playbar, and the Flexson mount.
Q6. How much weight can the Flexson flat to wall Playbar mount support?
The flat to wall mount supports up to 88 pounds of combined TV and Playbar weight, which covers the majority of flat screen televisions in the compatible size range. For the screen mount version, the combined weight of the Playbar and the Flexson mount is approximately 21 pounds, which needs to be added to the TV weight when checking the maximum weight rating of your existing TV wall bracket.
Q7. Does the Flexson Playbar wall mount come with all the fixing hardware needed?
The flat to wall version comes with the hardware required to mount the system to the wall. The screen mount version includes M6 and M8 hardware for attaching to the TV wall bracket. It is worth confirming the specific hardware included with the version you purchase and checking that it is suitable for your wall type before installation day.
Q8. Can I route cables through the wall with the Flexson Playbar mount?
The mount itself does not include integrated cable management channels in the way that some speaker mounts do, but in wall cable routing is fully compatible with both versions of the Flexson Playbar mount. Routing the HDMI and power cables through the wall behind the mounted TV and Playbar gives the cleanest possible finished appearance. Surface mounted cable trunking is the alternative option if in wall routing is not possible.
Q9. Is the Flexson Wall Mount for Sonos Playbar still relevant given that the Playbar is an older product?
Yes, completely. Many people own the Sonos Playbar and continue to use it as an excellent soundbar. The Flexson wall mount remains the right product for getting it properly installed on the wall. If you are buying a new Sonos soundbar today, Flexson also makes dedicated wall mounting solutions for the Sonos Arc and Sonos Beam which follow the same engineering principles as this product.
