Get one of those folding beds. Use it as a couch and a bed

>>17569741
One of those wooden slat things? That seems like it'd be uncomfortable as both.

>>17569714
Well, I would highly recommend getting an inexpensive pair of noise-canceling headphones, that might help with the reading problem.

You don't have a bed? Where do you sleep?

>>17569755
On a 4" cotton futon on the floor.

>>17569745
I think we're thinking about different things. They're comfy as both a bed and couch. I can't find an image of what I mean

>>17569773
>On a 4" cotton futon on the floor.
Are you a dwarf? How do you comfortably sleep on a 4" mattress, I didn't even know they made those, anon

>>17569783
The only ones I can see are sofa beds with like, strut legs that look like they give no support, and the wooden slat ones.

>>17569799
Sit in the corner.

>>17569714
get an actual futon: the whole point of them is to be folded up in order to create space.

>>17569817
They all seem to require space at both ends to fold out, which doesn't really work for this room. There's also the faff of bedding.

>>17569714
Trying to sleep in recliner chair is something I would definitely not recommend, you might be comfortable while sitting, but you need the space to stretch out and turn for a good sleep.
At least try to find some furniture that unfolds, there's all sorts of solutions in that category these days.

Just looked those up.

mfw £920 for the double

>>17569940
Oh wow, that's a lot. Maybe you should get into servicing rich old ladies, if you got the looks for it.

>>17569969
I don't. I'm also a homo.

I make some money, but less than I should, and thanks to the rampant pisspots taking mortgages to buy, gentrify, and extrapolate their wealth in rentals... yeah. Can't really afford my own place right now.

>>17569714
Just checked.

Room is 2.76 by 2.52m.

>>17569714
Put ear plugs in your ears like pic related and then put a pair of headphones over the top. If you have the cash you could get noise cancelling headphones or even the ear defenders workmen wear if you are autistic enough. I've done this for a while whilst living with noisy people and trying to read, they think I'm an autist but they're midwits so I don't care.

>>17569714
Read on the computer chair or the floor

>>17570034
These are so uncomfortable and hurt my back. But it's better than getting gamer back while sitting on my bed reading.

>>17569714
My problem is the opposite of yours: Plenty of space and quiet, but I hate the assumptions furniture designers make about use cases, and finding a swivel power recliner on wheels that would werk at a desk, or adjusts in as many parameters as the seats in my old Buick does, is a challenge. Is it really too much to ask to be able to loaf like Wallace Stevens with his Muse on--
>it is a theatre floating through the clouds
--without having to move from a designated work area? (Maybe I should write a review in the same faintly bitchy style he used in a letter to the manufacturer of T-shirts that disappointed.)

>>17569714
How bout something like pic related? It creates space for a comfy reading chair.

>>17573007
I'm an adult, and all of the solutions for adult cabin styled beds are DIY, and costly.

>>17574123
>I'm an adult
>who sleeps in a child sized futon in a room too small for an extra chair
Drop the pride. Why don't you just sit in your kitchen and read while mummy cooks or sit in the attic.
>lounge
Lmao, it's a sitting/living room to you, you wannabe. Living in a mouse hole but having the gall to call where your sofa is kept a lounge. What, do you call your a kitchen a parlor? Your bedroom a study? Store your clothes elsewhere and remove the fan. I'm sure you could fit a comfortable chair there. Or do you need a side table for your ashtray and port when you smoke your davidoffs, your lordship? Also you know they make reclinging computer chairs and accompanying footrests

i do this or wear good noise cancelling headphones (i have sony wh3000 or whatever) and listen to rain sounds or river creeks. i read on on ikea Poang chair with its matching ottoman. lately ive been literally just reading on the floor on my back with a pillow and thats been maximum cozy.

>>17574278
What possessed you to write this spergy post? Lounge is the common nomenclature.

>>17574324
How do you hold the book? Feel like holding one straight above you would suck.

>>17574355
Among the very old. Are you old? No one but doting spinsters and wannabe gentry say longue. Or maybe you're Welsh, but you have a standing fan so I assume you're from somewhere hot enough to demand one.

>>17574470
You... do know people sometimes use different words... depending on where they're from, right?

>>17574355
im at a slight recline with my pillow so it sits comfortably on my chest/stomach

>>17574484
And where are you from? You're in the SH, are you?

>>17574517
What's SH? You're a fuckin' weird poster.

>>17574501
Oh fair enough.

>>17574524
South Hemisphere. Are you baiting?

>>17574355
He’s right, why the fuck are you living like a child

>>17574536
I'm not in the southern hemisphere. You went from Wales to the southern hemisphere. Why would I make that leap?

>>17574584
Because my life is trash.

>>17574591
Okay anon, I think you're abusing my earnest nature by being intentionally stupid. I mention the Welsh because they have a greater propensity to use longue—it was an aside meant to cover the bases of my sentiment. I presumed you were from the southern hemisphere because you have a standing fan in your room in February, despite your complaints about floor space. Of course I could be off and you're merely near the equator, but my point was you not likely to be Welsh. Are you not not Welsh?

>>17574650
I'm English. Lounge is the common term. I have a standing fan for the summer. It's too big to store elsewhere (standing AC; still far smaller than a chair).
