Reddit mentions: The best living room chairs

Hey there! I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for but hopefully it'll help all the guys n gals looking to get their ladies the ultimate beauty station! As a professional makeup artist for MAC, Chanel and multiple other brands plus freelancing for years I have gotten many ideas over the years!
Be sure to get her plenty of storage if she has a lot of products and tools. Amazon/ Ebay also sell an electric brush cleaner now which is perfect for gals with a ton of brushes. My bro-in-law did the same project & I still have all the links. He installed lights (like these below) around my beauty-obsessed sister's makeup mirror & they're great. I also recommend a mirror that pulls out from the wall (like hotels have!) And a comfy & stylish chair is a must to make her feel like her fave beauty vlogger. Also, get crafty- you can always think of other ways to use these ideas for ex: instead of buying new, repurpose some cool vintage pieces!

Definitive Man Cave Items:

• Large TV. This tends to be the centerpiece of any good man cave, so you can't skimp on this. One good option is to get a high end projector since they're about as expensive as a mid-range LED TV but can cover a large portion of a wall. This is only really an option if you have the proper layout i.e. good area for a wall or projector screen.
  
• Surround sound to match the TV. This is about as essential to a man cave as candy is to a pedophile's plan.
  
• Appropriate seating area. In my opinion two good swiveling reclinable chairs are great plus a deep sectional couch
  
• Appropriate gaming system(s) for the TV/projector, including sizeable library of games/movies. A DVR is a very good investment if you can't always watch all your sports games. Internet is a must for those gaming systems too.
  
• Some sort of non-video gaming area. This can be filled by a foosball, poker, ping pong, or pool table, depending on what you, your family, and your friends like. Remember though, this is mostly about you, as this is your man cave.
  
• Some sort of bar area. Get a mini fridge that can hold mixers, beer, and liquors that can be chilled (vodka). Be sure to get all the necessary glassware and mixing utensils. Maybe even a small book on classic cocktails if you and your buddies are into that. Try and get bar stools and a high table for the bar area.
  
• In the same bar area, try and get a microwave and a few microwaveable snacks. Not having to leave your man cave for food is great.
  
• Get some sort of decor for the place, don't let it be bare bones. Make it feel like home away from home. Try movie posters, neon bar signs, or big prints of natural scenery, it's entirely up to you up to you.
  
• If you play music, get your gear in there!
  
• If you're really lucky, this area can be attached to the garage so you can put all of your tools there. Depends on the kind of person you are. I consider myself a handy man so I like to have a shop-type area where I can do man things and make man things while saying man things.
  
• Additionally, some sort of sliding door to a grassy flat area is great for any number of things. If you are into footy, you can kick a soccer ball around, if you have friends that smoke (tobacco or otherwise) they can take a quick step outside.
  
• Finally, land mines. Keeps the wife and kids out. Put them all around the entrance and walls. It'll also keep them from finding the clown costume that would reveal that you're the masturbating clown that's been terrorizing your little suburb.

I'm seeing some strong responses to my quirky axis bindings and for what it's worth, I would like to share about it.

Firstly, however, it's a fact that this is a deeply personal process and any of us could make any HOSAS setup, no matter how bizarre it may appear to anyone else, work for us with precision and grace.

Right off the top, we have to look at flying without using pedals. I have a custom desk I built, the top of which sits only 15" off the floor with no room for pedals (I am, however, yogidragon, and sit on the floor in a Japanese style floor chair). So needless to say if I want 6 degrees of freedom I need sticks that twist.

OK so here goes...

I prefer flying fixed weapons, which requires a ton of precision when pointing the nose of my spacecraft where I am shooting. So for me pitch and yaw are my critical primary inputs, followed by roll and longitudinal strafe, then lateral and vertical strafe in that order. Now at this point anyone can pick their preference as to whether or not they would choose left or right hand for pitch/yaw. Right seems to be more common but ultimately it doesn't matter. What feeeeels the most natural is key here. So my left stick is the busiest most of the time. I add roll to dial in my movement and longitudinal strafe (forward and back strafing - essentially like throttle control) also needs a lot of precision and I find that this is easier living next to roll on the right stick.

With my most important analog controls set, what about the rest, and what's up with the (admittedly) weird vertical and lateral strafing? It's logical, actually if you consider the following...

I find that vertical and lateral strafe are used most often in just getting around in the 'verse, and much more dynamically in dogfighting. But it is landing and launching where they are so important. Should I place these controls on the excellent analog thumbsticks? I tried it and it felt ridiculous to me, out of context with the larger range of control of the main axes. Virpil's twist axis is super smooth and very accurate, and I feel much more comfortable and in control of the ship this way versus using the thumbsticks (which I prefer to use for external camera control on the right and setting throttle limits on the left, like a mini HOTAS).

In the end, when all 6 DOF come together in my hands it seriously is a kung-fu ballet and a dance of subtle and precise control that I love. To each his or her own, always...

Pretty good basic instructions. Key points:

• Get good at musculoskeletal relaxation first. With no intention of getting to trance, lie or sit in a comfortable position with back straight, and practice successive muscular relaxation. I start at my feet and move upwards, tensing and relaxing every muscle I can feel. When relaxed, there is a sort of "letting go" feeling, the muscle/limb feels almost like empty space.
  
• Don't attempt to get into trance until you can relax and "let go" of all of your body. It'll just be a waste of time.
  
• Don't fall asleep. Don't use caffeine. I find being at a slight upward angle helps in preventing sleep, and also makes my jaw more comfortable. It must be relaxed, and I find it uncomfortable if it hangs open. I use a chair specifically for this purpose, similar to this, which allows me to choose the angle of my recline.
  
• Using visualization techniques as suggested can be quite effective, once you are in trance. The challenge is being sufficiently deep in trance that your "energy body" or whatever is "loose" enough, but still retaining enough conscious awareness that you can formulate intent. It's a tricky balance to strike!
  
• I highly recommend Robert Bruce's instructions, here. If you like it, please buy the book to support the author.
  
  Good luck!

You know, I just signed the lease on a new place with a friend, and we were looking up this exact thing. I'll try to gather up some links of neat stuff I've run across before!

Here's one guy's "Deus Ex-esque bedroom" Those hexagonal mirrors can be found in sets for quite cheaply, and since then I've seen this pattern replicated.

Infinity LED mirrors can be made super easily and very cheaply, and they look awesome.

Hackerspaces can have some crazy ideas. Most of them look like they take a lot of work. Many of them just involve lots of neat junk.

Someone had mentioned a (fairly?) simple home automation project wherein all the light switch housings were replaced with cheap Raspberry Pis with attached cheap touchscreen displays to control lighting and whatever else you connected to it. Seems neat.

Drones are consumer-ready and pretty cyberpunk... get some drones?

Those neat noir "bars" caused by high-contrast blinds with light sources behind them.

This chair in black. Kinda. Also this chair. Kinda.

Etsy can have some pretty sweet stuff sometimes!

This pendant lamp.

Basically anything using LEDs can look neat. Or tacky. But mostly neat.

Low beds can be pretty neat and fitting. I personally love having just basically a mattress bed on the floor. It's makeshift, but it's my favorite type of bed.

Anything involving weapons could be considered cyberpunk decor (going more for the dystopia vibe). Regardless of whether you own one or even can own one, this quick-access hydraulic lock box is neat, and meant to be used in a living space or bedroom. I'd put other things in it, just for the fun of it.

If you wanted to really up the dystopia/low-life aspect, you could get replica (like airsoft?) firearms and mount them on a wall or something. Obviously don't do this with real guns. That's retarded.

Articulating monitor mounts to be used with desktop monitors are pretty sweet and can add additional tech vibe, as are articulating laptop stands for the same purpose.

Wanna take apart a computer and hang it up? Impractical, but så kult!

Lights, lights, lights. This time, lights around the shower!

Mount your networking stuff to the wall. Modem/router/switches and whatnot. Don't be afraid of lights and cables.

I'm still looking around at more things and gathering more ideas. Most things you'd have to make yourself, and that's sort of what I plan on doing for almost everything. Is this helpful at all so far? I can keep going.

She used to say she could taste sleep and that it was as delicious as a BLT on fresh french bread ...

1. this bed looks classy and gorgeous, and it's totally useful because you have tons of space underneath it, and in the floating headboard.
   
2. this popcorn is literally called chocolate dreams and popcorn is the perfect snack for bedtime. It reminds me of cozying up in bed falling asleep to a movie. Plus chocolate....so yeah.
   
3. i love these cat pajamas ... when we were growing up over time my sisters and I eventually all found our "cat pants"... which are flannel pj pants that have cats on them. Some are cartoon cats, and some are little cat pictures, but my 4 sisters and I would say "time for cat pants", which means COMFY TIME!! LOL over time we've had to get new ones, and when we all get together we'll veg out in our cat pants.
   
4. this is a cool nightlight and it changes colors!
   
5. this will help the baby sleep plus it's beautiful and comfy for the mama :)

Your price range is going to be the main factor in a decision like this. If you're able and willing to shell out $1,000-2,000 a zero-gravity recliner is your best bet and will be an amazing chair for you. If you want something a little cheaper chairs like this are great and offer a reasonable amount of support and comfort; alternatively, for a pure recliner I would recommend Barcalounger over Lay-z-boy (I find them to be a little more fashionable and they tend to hold up better for longer. Below that price range is a more standard recliner and speak to your physician about supplemental support (this may be as simple as a lumbar support pillow).

We finally finished the baby's room! I've been a Muppet lover since I was a little girl and luckily my husband is always on board. We had a Muppet themed wedding five years ago. **Edit** Since people have been asking, here are two photos from our wedding in 2014 (Cake and Table Setting). More pictures of the nursery can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/IADSUG8

Crib: Originally my husband wanted to build the crib himself, but after talking about safety concerns while interviewing a pediatrician, we decided it was best to just buy one. This was from Target.

Rocker: was from Amazon. I found the same brand at a home store in my town and tried it out before buying. It is still slightly stiff, but I know it will get broken in soon. It was about $100 cheaper on Amazon.

Curtains: Also from Target.

Rug: We already had this rug in the house. All the walls are pretty much this same color and we have hardwood throughout so I bought a bunch of colorful rugs when we moved in. This one seemed perfect for the room. It was purchased on Amazon a few years ago and I can't seem to find it in my purchase history.

Dresser and Nightstand were purchased for $40 from Facebook Marketplace. My husband painted them.

Muppet Movie poster was a Christmas gift from my husband on our first Christmas together. The other Muppet collage was made after our wedding. Instead of table numbers, we had table Muppets. Each of the pictures in the collage was framed separately and you were assigned to the "Gonzo Table" etc. I turned them all into a big pictures after the wedding.

Pouf: was from the At Home Store. It doesn't look like they list it on their website anymore, but it is similar to this one.

Update! I found the rug on Amazon! sunburst rug

It's top-grain, not full-grain leather. Top-grain is, generally speaking, the second best quality leather. So it's not bad, but for that price, you can do better. If you want that exact design, amazon's new furniture cover rivet sells something extremely similar for a few hundred dollars less and it also has top-grain leather.

If you want full-grain leather, https://www.article.com/ has some options for a bit more, or structube has a really nice looking full-grain leather option for even less: https://www.structube.com/us/kinsey-100-leather-armchair-59-04-04?pid=19807

Hope that helps. If you want the benefit of being able to try it in person, and have a west-elm near you, then it may be worth it to just go for the west-elm. If you are buying online regardless though, it may be worth looking into these other options.

>Not for me. It's necessary for quality of life due to my disabilities.

I've a lot of things to say, but to just really drive my point home, I've found those for around $300 on amazon.

>Actually now that I look online, either mattresses got a lot cheaper between then and now, or I seriously got ripped off >:/

Things get cheaper overtime.

>the biggest expense was the electric recliner. $1200, it's medically certified.

A recliner really doesn't need to be medically certified, and if you're on disability, you may qualify for some sort of compensation from the government for it. And also, again, I've found some for around $300. But if you really, really wanted one that was 'medically certified' there's this Serta which is $200 cheaper.

>I'm on disability. I'm mentally and physically disabled.

Well, I'm sorry for that. Do you have family? Have you contacted disability with regards to your needs?

>I have these things accounted for; my conditions leave me with a lot of time to think about things like this, even if it takes me a little bit longer than most people would to think about them, I have plenty of time. I account for these things, and this sort of financing was necessary. Insurance doesn't always cover everything you need.

Fair enough. I'm simply concerned that you may be using loans as a means to purchase things you don't need. If it assists with your disability, go for it.

>Usually when I end up on the floor, it's not by choice.

Look man. I don't know you. I can peer into your text and say you're disabled anymore than you can do to me. I treat you like I would anyone else, and most people can live like that. Most people can sit down on a rug. It sucks that you can't, but I don't know that until you say so. Which is why I am more understanding now of your decision. I simply want to help you avoid having to take out a loan if you don't need to.

>But it was a necessary expense.

Fair enough. Though, now that you have this one it may be worth trying to save now for when you need to replace it, since that day will indefinitely come.

I have this recliner/glider (sorry can't hyperlink, on mobile while nursing baby) http://www.amazon.com/Pulaski-Swivel-Glider-Recliner-Coffee/dp/B00CM8EC84

It's not the color I would've chosen in a perfect world, but the price was great compared to everything else I could find. I put it in his nursery. Craigslist in my area was a dead end.

But yes, I love that it reclines AND glides. I tend to feed baby elsewhere during the day, but I feed him primarily in the recliner at night. It's extremely comfortable, although the foot rest is a little difficult to snap back into plane. I don't feel comfortable bedsharing in on our full-size mattress unless husband is away working a night shift.

I rock baby in it when he's fussy and feed him with it reclined. I use a regular bed pillow propped up on the armrest for support. And yes, I fall asleep in it. I know that everything everywhere says that's terrible so I feel guilty, but if I didn't my rest would be completely inadequate. I try my best to be safe about it.

Since it's a church, is there some other area you could securely store your bike? Like a storage closet or room? Even if you had to lock it while it's in there, that would free up more space. Then you could put a nicer big lamp in that corner. Something like this which would help with that minimalist feel you're going for.

An accent chair like this would also look nice, be comfy to read in, and more in line with the look you mentioned. Similar ones are frequently at places like TJ Maxx or Target.

shrdbrd you lazy bum, heres some cool stuff

1. I love these plastic pizza cutters. I have one and it works better than the metal ones!
   
   
2. We keep a baseball bat under the bed, to crack some skulls.
   
   
3. I love Duolingo. Makes it a little easier to learn a new language!
   
   
4. Thug Life
   
   
5. I love my couch! It's an old black leather couch that isn't so pretty anymore, but it's SO comfortable. Me and my cat snuggle on it all day.
   
   
6. I really want this Disney wall art cause Disney is life. I also want this awesome chair, but it's way too expensive.

That will work, but it's a cheaper model. This is the one I have. Change the color choice to Sage for a pic of a fabric option. Here's another in a beige color.

I wasn't keen on the one you linked to mainly because of the arms and limited neck support. I use a keyboard tray, so no go with curved armrests. I settled on the one I have because of the flat arms and adjustable head/neck support. It has a zippered pocket so you can add more padding if you want. I had an old memory foam pillow that I cut down to fit the space to get it perfect for me.

Hope that helps. I research the hell out of stuff before I spend more than $100. There are some other brands that were good, but I kept coming back to Mac Motion for the build quality, style and price. There are definitely better choices too, but not within my budget.

EDIT: I was wrong about fabric being cheaper. The mac motion 819 series is the same price regardless of finish.

I really think you should buy this chair I know it is already on your wishlist, but it makes sense to buy something from your wishlist because it is obviously something you like. Also, being that you seem to read, having a comfy chair around is always a good thing to have.

I was going to suggest some art supplies for you, but they were all under $50 so that wasn't going to do.

For me, I would love this shower curtain It sort of relates to the chair being that it is black and white and gives an added design quality to my living space. =3

Dang girl, that must be some refund!

I'm also indecisive so I completely understand why you would figure out what to buy through a contest.

Here is the stand. I completely recommend it if you're in the market for one! Only $45, easy to install, looks nice, and completely stable. This is the chair. It's good for kicking back. I do have an upright office chair as well when I need to get serious.

The table itself is usually about 30in by 30in. You can buy larger, but you'd be surprised how much you can fit on that space. We use it for laptops and as a dinner table, and it works fine. If we tried to add people on the other two sides, it would probably get a little cramped.

The kakeshiki (over and under blankets) are typically about 72-80in on each side, but you can find them much larger (like the under blanket in this gif being room sized). Ours is 80in on each side, and our kotatsu is oriented diagonally to the shikibuton (under-blanket) so it looks like this. That gives us a lot of room to lay down while sticking our legs under it.

There are legless chairs you can use to alleviate sitting on the floor if it causes you an issue. These are called zaisu (example). Or you can buy a shikibuton with a built in roll at the edge which is kind of a fusion between a sofa and a shikibuton. I've only ever seen it called a kotatsu sofa because it has no real precedent in Japan (this page shows what the hell I'm talking about). But that sort of kills the space-saving design and easy stowability of the kotatsu.

We do just fine with using spare blankets and pillows for padding if we feel uncomfortable sitting on the floor for extended priods. Something worth mentioning is that you can make a kick ass fort with a kotatsu and a few chairs covered in blankets.

EDIT: Just went through the arduous process of uploading a picture from my phone to Imgur. I took that immediately after setting up the kotatsu before she moved in. The room is 15.5ft x 11.5ft, so I hope that gives you a good idea of the space consumption. One bonus point is that it's easy to just move to the side if you want the space for something else like party games in front of the TV.

Amazon has a few of the same or very similar, but it is amazon and the quality could be amazing or it could be meh.

Your #1 layout looks best to me. Yes it's a little cramped, which is why if it were me I'd nix the dining table unless I got sufficient use out of it. If it's to be kept and you need more space for the couch, push the couch against the dining table when it's not in use. If you'll nix the dining table, consider going Japanese with floor chairs around the coffee table.

Sorry for the poor lighting, north facing room means not a lot of natural light! Just need to get some gallery frames to put on the wall between the crib and dresser. There's also a book shelf to the right of the chair that you can't see.

Let me know if you want to know about any of the other items. And yes I know he can't have stuffed animals in his crib, they won't be there when he's in it :)

​

I have a 4moms pack n play/bassinet in my room for at first but hoping to get him in here ASAP! Now that the room is mostly complete I'm twiddling my thumbs sterilizing pinkies, getting supplies for padcicles, etc.

It's this one, I'm waffling on it. I think I'm gonna wait for it to go back down to like $200 then slap my $70 of Amazon credit at it and be done with it. I'm patient...

I have something like this. Game for 10 hours at a time in it and its comfortable all the way.

Dang girl work that tax refund.

You obviously need this chair along with this chair

Surprise me. :)

this! because there are only two left in stock and it looks amazing!

dang girl.

Can't comment on that specific chair, but similar chairs aren't hard to find.

I don't know if I'd necessarily recommend buying one online, unless there are lots of reviews. There are lots of these kinds of chairs around from various manufacturers, so the build quality can vary from "buy it for life" to "disintegrates in shipping". I had one ~18 years ago that lasted maybe three years before the frame broke. I had paid maybe $80 tops for it, though, so I wasn't expecting much. It was comfy while it lasted, though.

i tried the babyletto kiwi (https://www.amazon.com/Babyletto-Electronic-Recliner-Swivel-Glider/dp/B01N16CUB6) in a local store and really liked it. it's tall enough to rest your head if you're taller and the recline function (button instead of lever) is really nice. the only thing i worry about is that the electrical components on the button could eventually go.

Looks like Amazon has a sale on it too for about 110 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/Baxton-Furniture-Mid-Century-Scandinavian-Chair/dp/B018KA0PKG

Thank you! Here’s the link to the chair

These are really fun.

Cool!
