Is HIDEit Better Than Amazon Brands?

If you're comparing HIDEit Mounts to the “Amazon wall mount brands" (you know them — the plastic mounts, velcro straps, phoney Chinese knock-offs), you're not alone. Gamers, parents, and home setup pros ask us every day:

“Is HIDEit worth it?”
“What’s the best wall mount for PS5 or Xbox?”
“Can I hide my console behind my TV?”

We’ve got answers — and reasons why thousands of gamers choose and trust HIDEit over generic console mounts from fake brands with weird names and artificial pictures.

Is HIDEit really better than Amazon brands?

Yes — and here's why.

HIDEit Mounts are:
- Precision-designed for each console, not a generic wall mount
- Made from steel, not cheap plastic or risky straps
- Designed in the USA, with select Made in the USA options, and built to last a lifetime
- Trusted for even heavy gear like gaming PCs or AV equipment

Amazon console mounts may look similar online, but they don’t offer the same build quality, device compatibility, or installation options.

HIDEit Xbox Series S Mount is easy to install behind a wall mounted TV or next to a wall mounted TV!
What’s the best wall mount for PS5 or Xbox?

You need a console wall mount that:
- Is a device-specific custom fit
- Has been rigorously tested for performance
- Allows full airflow and ventilation
- Supports various mounting options (vertical mounting, under-desk, behind-TV installation, or VESA compatible)

That’s exactly what HIDEit does!

Our PS5 wall mount and Xbox Series X/S mounts are made from 16-gauge cold-rolled steel, powder-coated to protect your gear, and designed to never block ports or vents.

We even offer device mounts for PC towers, handheld game consoles, and more.

Can I mount my console behind the TV?

Absolutely!

Many of our customers choose HIDEit Mounts because we make it easy to create a clean gaming setup or hidden entertainment center.

Our mounts:
- Are low-profile and flush to the wall
- Can be installed behind wall-mounted TVs
- Keep devices secure and hidden without overheating risks

Final Thoughts
If you're serious about your setup, don’t trust your console to a random Amazon listing. Choose a mount that’s: Strong, Vent-friendly, Custom-fit and built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • HIDEit mounts are made from heavy-gauge steel for unmatched strength + long-term security. Plastic mounts like TotalMount simply can’t compete with steel when it comes to long-term strength and security. If you want peace of mind knowing your console is truly protected, HIDEit is the clear choice.

  • Both are straightforward, but with HIDEit you get a fast 3-step installation process that takes just a few minutes. TotalMount highlights its “drill-free” option and built-in level, but the trade-off is stability—plastic mounts simply can’t hold as securely as steel.

  • Not at all. HIDEit’s steel mounts don’t interfere with Wi-Fi. Gamers worldwide have trusted our mounts since 2009 with zero signal issues. The “metal-free = better Wi-Fi” claim is more marketing than reality. After all, your TV mount is steel, too.

  • TotalMount includes plastic holders, but they’re fixed in place so you’re stuck with one style of storage whether you like it or not. HIDEit offers the Uni-C Controller Mounts (sold separately), giving you the freedom to mount controllers exactly where you want them—beside the console, under a desk, or displayed on their own.
