teachermom2834 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I’m sitting here in a hotel just waiting to close on my new house so I’m doing some online shopping (though I’m not buying until I’m in the space for sure). We have a large spare bedroom upstairs in our new house. It will be used as a rec room. There will be a TV in there and some bookshelves with books and we will store board games in there but it is just going to be a flexible space. Would mostly be used for teens/young adults to hang out and watch tV/play video games/ sleepover/whatever. I don’t anticipate it being used by dh or myself or our friends. Definitely young people. I don’t know what kind of furniture I want in there. I think I want it very comfy (it’s a hang out space!) and I think I want it flexible enough to move around for whatever the room is being used for. It doesn’t need to be used for sleeping but comfy enough to crash on is a bonus as is easy to push around and put up air mattresses. It is going upstairs so not so heavy and big as to be a monster to move upstairs would be a plus. I don’t necessarily want a futon or something designed to double as a sleeping space because those seem to compromise comfort for the double function. But if you have some seating/sleep combo solution that is actually comfortable that is a great too. We will put our young adults up in this room when they visit but they like our nice air mattresses and we have another spare bed. We had a giant beanbag in the past that was well loved and used for a decade and my dd wants one of those. Any suggestions? General suggestions and specific brand recommendations welcome!

Katy Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Idk your budget, but my friends who purchased sactionals love them. I think the best price of the year is Black Friday so if you can wait that long, that’s an option. On the cheaper but ok quality end, check out Ikea. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 If there is room, I'd want a table to the side that could be used for games/puzzles, etc., in addition to comfy furniture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebcoola Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Ww have a similar room and have a fully modular sofa similar to a lovesac and its great the teens just move it around to support whats going on. Including the occasional crasher. For games we cut a piece of mdf to fit over the large ottoman to serve as the table it stores easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking the modular sofa is what we want. Now to choose one… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was looking at that exact thing earlier and thought it would work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
