So specs aren't as important as form and function in this case, but I figured I'd get them out of the way first just in case you are curious:
Really the only elements that matter here as far as building a couch setup are motherboard and case, as they pertain to the form factor. I chose Mini-ITX to keep the size down, which helps the PC fit nicely under my TV alongside my consoles. The Elite 130 is big for an ITX case, but still got the job done for what I need. Specifically, I chose it for its ATX PSU and full size GPU support, in addition to its affordable price. For reference, ATX PSUs are generally the standard size power supplies for a PC. Smaller PSUs tend to command a significant premium compared to ATX PSUs of the same quality. Speaking premiums, you can end up paying a hefty premium for smaller and better designed ITX cases. just look at /r/sffpc if you want an example of how beautiful (and expensive) these things can get. There's some really awesome stuff in there, but honestly what you need will depend on your use case. If you're going to be doing any gaming, then a case that supports a GPU is a must, and you'll pay for cramming more power into a smaller space. However, since your current couch build is a Vista laptop, this may not be an issue for you at all!
In any case, deciding where you're going to put the PC is important. If size is a concern, there are still great options out there if you don't need too much performance. There are other Mini ITX builds that could accomplish this quite nicely, but if you don't need any PCIe slots at all, ASRock makes a beautiful Mini-STX machine called the DeskMini that is only 6"x6"x3"! I'm not 100% sure that the remote start I first mentioned would fit into this case, but I have a non-ASRock MiniSTX machine at home, so I can take a look and speculate if you'd like. And even if not, you could get that same function through Wake-On-LAN if you have an ethernet connection. Anyway, you can get a barebones model for $170 that supports the latest 8th and 9th gen Intel CPUs, but you'll need to add the CPU and SSD on your own. There are fully built models available, including AMD Ryzen models starting at $500, but again, depending on your needs, that may be more money than you need to spend. For instance, adding an Intel i3-8100 CPU for $135 and a Crucial SATA M.2 SSD for $63 brings you up to $368, and leaves plenty of upgradability down the line. Additionally, you could scale that price down further by lowering the SSD capacity, getting a Pentium CPU, buying used, etc. Let me know what you currently (and want to) do with your couch computer, and I'll be happy to help with a performance recommendation!
Moving on to peripherals, a wireless mouse/keyboard combo would certainly work well! There are plenty of bluetooth and USB dongle-based options on the market for you to consider. I personally use a Roccat Sova lapboard, which is wired, but I decided that was more important for me as it comes with USB ports for my headset and mouse. Plenty of options are available that are both cheaper and better suited for a wireless mouse and keyboard anyway, so don't feel like you need to go this route! Another product to consider is couch table. I used this model for my mouse before I learned about that Roccat lapboard, but I still love that table for couch use in general!
As for the display, I use my TV. It's a 4K TCL 55p607, which got great reviews for its price when I bought it. Full disclosure, TVs generally aren't as good as PC monitors when it comes to use with a PC. Refresh rates and input lag tend to be the biggest differentiating factors, but this video will do a far better job of explaining it than I can. Overall though, TVs as displays only get more viable every year! Just don't expect the budget set from Walmart to be as easy on the eyes as a high quality model. If you're going to be staring at it for hours at a time, it will likely be worth the investment to research and buy a better model! One other thing you will likely have to play with regardless of TV quality is visual scaling. Since default settings assume you are sitting a foot or two from the monitor, text and graphics will be very small at first. Customization options are getting better though; Windows has settings for text scaling now, and even has an automated tool to fix programs that aren't cooperating in this regard, but you will still likely have to tinker with settings in some programs to get things comfortably readable from the couch.
Something else to consider is audio, HDMI inputs, and overall technology compatibility. I have a surround sound setup via a Yamaha receiver. All my consoles (and my PC) plug into it, and it feeds HDMI to the TV. However, I ran into a snag on this front. My receiver is a few years old, and thus cannot support 4K at a refresh rate above 30Hz. Here's another TechQuickie video on refresh rates, and yet another about TVs faking better refresh rates (which should absolutely be disabled if you got this route). So since the receiver sits between the TV and the PC, that means that me getting both surround sound and 4K for my PC got very complicated. In the end, I decided to forego the 4K resolution and instead opt for the simplicity of sticking with 1080p at 60 Hz for my gaming PC. It ended up making sense to me since my hardware specs were better suited for 1080p gaming anyway, but again, higher resolution tends to be easier on the eyes when it comes to everyday PC use, so your mileage may vary.

Sorry this got long winded, but I hope this answers a lot of your questions. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions, I'd be happy to help in any way I can!
Hey guys,
So, my mom is wanting to upgrade her old equipment to something newer/better. Please forgive me if this isn’t the correct sub to post to.
Current setup:
I don’t have much specifics on the current equipment (model numbers etc)
-Sony TV, works fine. 2 HDMI ports I believe and one analog video (RCA). Doesn’t appear to be “Smart” and doesn’t have apps
-Old Phillips 5-disc CD player / radio / tape
-2 old Sony speakers from the 90s
-Apple airplay receiver (not shown, can’t remember what it’s called but it’s the old unit that looks like a large all in one A/C adaptor and plugs directly into the wall)
-BluRay player
-Comcast box
-Wii (optional, for the grandkids)
Thoughts/needs:
She really loves to listen to a lot of music. But 99% of it is CDs and classical music on NPR. A few years I went down the road of ripping her CDs into MP3s but she’s constantly out of space on her phone and most of her stuff is not on streaming services. She also doesn’t like the huge floor standing speakers she has anymore and wants something with good sound but affordable and not too big.
I’m thinking about mounting the TV on the wall and adding in those shelves that mount below it for the cable box and BluRay player. And just for compactness i was leaning towards some kind of sound bar. Sound quality is important but nothing really expensive. An alternative I guess could be speakers mounted next to the TV or in the corners near the ceiling (but then I’d need a sub probably). Her living room is pretty small so nothing huge is needed. To keep things simple I was trying to stay away from a separate receiver but if you think she could benefit from one then please let me know!
I’m really struggling with the CD situation. I’ve got her slightly interested in Spotify but the fact that her CDs are rare/oddball and not on major services is proving to be a challenge. For those with more experience, would uploading her stuff to Google Music be a good option? Then she could stream + cast it from her phone to a BT sound bar? Or can the BluRay player function as a “stand-alone” CD player? When I say stand alone I mean the ability to play CDs without having to turn on the TV. It has a “Coax Digital” out but I don’t have any experience with how that works or if it’s possible with a sound bar.
So I guess the biggest advice I need are how you guys recommend handling the CDs and also the speakers. Feel free to comment on anything else though, of course.
Thanks in advance!
Pretty good basic instructions. Key points:
Good luck!
I love my Klymit. The thing folds up to the size of a Nalgene bottle and is way more comfortable than you'd expect. I'm 5'10, 190lbs and like to sleep on my side and sleep great on this.
Other alternative (which is decidedly NOT convenient and is bulky, but is insanely comfortable if you're going car camping or using it stationary in your apartment and don't need to lug it around) is getting a memory foam mattress like this. I pull this out when friends crash at my apartment and they have all raved about how comfy it is. It's also great for cold weather camping, since the foam is a great insulator. I had this one on a trip that got down to 37 overnight and it kept me super toasty.
This mattress that I got for it's portability. It folds into thirds which makes it easy to transport in my CR-V with all my other stuff.
Since you mentioned folding a section of the bed, this could potentially be a good option as it's designed to fold itself. Although I'm not sure if they make a bigger version that a twin or not.
This mattress seems similar in concept though, and comes in full size. And the fold pattern actually looks like it might be better too for your needs. But of course measure first.
I can't speak for the second mattress I linked, but the first one is very comfortable despite only being 3" thick. I'd guess the second one is good too.
Best of luck, and I'd definitely love to see what you come up with!

I had one of these for a while, and I like it a lot. My floor is bare concrete, though, so I have to layer it up with a few thicker blankets. Would probably also work to get two if you were in the same situation. It's a firmer, more rigid mattress. I like the rigidity of it. You don't sink into it at all, so you end up laying very flat. That was a big improvmeent over my last mattress, which was wearing out and getting a dip in the middle. I wouldn't mind it being softer, but that often comes at the expense of losing the rigidity, so there's a trade off, and I'm pretty content with it where it is. I also love to take it camping. It's not good enough on its own for concrete, but no dirt and maybe some grass? Perfect. I love it.
They do take a little bit of care, though. You have to pick it up at least a couple times a week to let the under side and the floor under it air out to prevent mold. Folding it up helps stretch and fluff the fibers back out to keep it comfrotable. Some recommend taking it out and beating it occasionally to fluff it and get dead skin cells out, but I haven't done that. You do definitely want to fold it up at least regularly. After a few days, it gets noticeably harder.
However, now that it's thoroughly tested and approved, I'm planning to upgrade to a similar one. http://www.tatamiroom.com/cgi-local/catalog.pl?category=PLATFORM_BEDS-40#30 Here's a place I can get a fairly cheap king size one that's also thicker than the one from Amazon. I'm planning to upgrade the size and build a bed frame for it. Something with slats to let it get some airflow underneath it and help stave off mold. I'd really like to design something multipurpose, especially for if the mattress is folded and stored, but I haven't been able to come up with anything I like yet, so I might go for a simple platform with storage underneath.
I've been sleeping on this mat from Amazon since I moved into my new place 4 months ago and haven't bothered getting a 'real' bed. I'm actually planning on getting the same one in the full size! This one's just a single padded cushion that you can fold up. It's about 4 inches thick. I have it on a hardwood floor with a yoga mat underneath so it doesn't slide around.
I believe most people add additional pads to it, but I think it's perfectly comfortable on it's own. I like firm-ish mattresses, and it's a lot more comfortable than I had expected. Even when I first got it, I didn't have any trouble falling asleep on it. It took a few nights to get used to, but after that I've never had any back pain. I've read that using futon mattresses are much better for your back, too.
Regular mattresses feel almost too cushion-y for me now... I'm in love with my futon. I especially enjoy the fact that I can fold it up and take it anywhere without needing someone with a truck to move it for me.
Here are a couple things I've tried.
Japanese Futon
I spent a year in Japan and used a Japanese futon during that time. The mattress was about 2 inches thick and packed pretty solid with cotton. The futon was usually on a flat, but smooth wooden platform bed. I also sometimes used it on the carpeted floor if I wanted a softer surface. It was really comfortable, but you can't get away with a soft pillow. You need something that gives more support. I had a memory foam pillow at the time. I use a buckwheat hull pillow now and have a very firm memory foam mattress.
Don't get mixed up with American futon mattresses for folding frames, those run closer to 6 inches thick and are as difficult to move as a typical mattress.
Here are a few on Amazon to give you a sense of what to look for. This site also shows a three section foam pad that you can place under a futon mattress if you want something softer.
I saw "throw beds" at Target the other day for around $50. They were basically small, narrow futon mattresses. I can't seem to find them online or I'd include a link. These wouldn't be comfortable directly on a hardwood or tile floor, but if you've got a carpet or rug with some padding underneath, it feels pretty good.
I'd recommend trying something like that out on the cheap if you can before dropping the cash for a Japanese futon and possibly a foam pad.
Camping Sleep Pad
I also have an inflatable sleeping pad that's insulated for backpacking camping. It's really narrow, so it's not as comfortable as a typical bed, but the insulated aspect of it is really nice. It also packs up really small.
I slept on one of those guest bed air mattresses for about a year. I had to layer a lot of blankets under me in the winter or I felt really cold.
I very very highly recommend the walker edison stand that I currently use. It looks great, was super easy to assemble, and the thing is so fucking heavy I feel like it could handle anything I throw at it. Pretty good price too.
http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Glass-Metal-Component/dp/B00166BWZ4/ref=sr_1_1?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1415216844&sr=1-1
He probably means something like the second picture down. Unless you have a mattress specifically designed to be frameless, it's always better to have a frame. Not only will it prevent mould and morphing like he said, but it provides better support for you and lengthens the life of the mattress. If you really don't want one, it's best to instead invest in a floor mattress like a Japanese Futon, which is light enough to roll up or hang to air during the day.
I'm single, but let me tell you about my Heaven Bed. You might not find a more comfy option. I bought a shikifuton from Amazon and repurposed a 3" full size memory foam pad. The shikifuton is only wide enough for one person, so you would need to get 2 (it saves space over air mattresses). The luxurious part is taking the cheaper 3" memory foam, using a box cutter to slice it in half, double stack it... now you have a perfectly fitted 6" of memory foam.
It's more comfortable than my bed and is worth the price. The foam can be squished down to very little.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VQNM2I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I recommend checking out the Japanese shikibutons. I had one for about a year and it worked out great for my small bedroom. There are models that can fold up into a couch when coupled with a special frame. There are ones you have to roll up every day to keep it from flattening too much.
I used a fake bamboo picnic mat to keep the bottom of the buton clean. It ran me about $80 US but well worth the money. I recommend, if say you buy a twin size, to buy the next size up for the fitted sheet. It will help keep the sheet from undoing itself.
I hope this helps! https://www.amazon.com/Futon-Furniture-Traditional-Japanese-Mattresses/dp/B003VQNM2I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505107924&sr=8-2&keywords=shikibuton

Have been pleasantly surprised by it so far! I thought it would feel totally ok, but I've really liked it! The folding dimensions work perfectly for us - big enough to spread out on during the day, then fold out to full size at night. We have a Leesa (similar to Casper) at home and it hasn't felt like we have up much in terms of comfort.
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 are some thoughts

Congrats on the new place !!
May I suggest this beautiful coffee table as a lovely center piece or a side table? You could follow this up by adding these mystifying lamps
I also think this Iron Wall Medallion would be an amazing eye-catcher when guests come into your new home!

Edit- more info
I used two of these tables from amazon. It's based off the Ikea lack cabinets. We didn't have an Ikea around so I went that. They work, but you will have to mount your psu enclosure below. As for the other stuff..
The monoprice comes with a scraper and a small drill bit (altough I've had better luck with .09 guitar string) And as for the sd card thing, you can go that route if you want, but I will say the octoprint set up was the best upgrade I ever made to my monprice.
Amazon's got a pretty good $15 end table as well. Super easy to put together.

Almost as good as sleeping on a real mattress.
Then the pro move is to get a folding bed frame with tall legs. This frame will fit above most storage bins, definitely the blacks ones with yellow lids! Now you don’t have to sleep on the floor AND you have storage for your bins!

We have a japanese futon. They're super inexpensive, comfortable, and they roll up to give you more floor space.
I've been sleeping on one for about 1 and a half years now and I never want to go back to a regular mattress, my back isnt in pain when i wake up anymore lol. We own like three of the queen size ones for different rooms.
I honestly enjoyed the mattress as much as my bed at home. It's this one off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01INZBCJG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_JSGUzb0GYEEBC
Just had to open it up and let it air out a day or two to fully expand and you're good to go.
Thank you so much for holding this contest OP. I hope that today gets better. :)
Although I did not own a bed, I purchased this full-size futon when I was at my old job. It was extremely plush and thick, which shocked me because I thought most futons were thinner. I would recommend it either for sleeping, or as furniture.
I have one of theseand im extremely happy with it. More comfortable than my old bed. I have arthritis in my spine too, so that says a lot.
Im actually going to get another one soon. I have a 24” one and gonna get a 36 or 48... luxury. Lol.

Yep pretty awesome, I put my tv on the top part, PS4 goes on that second piece.
Craigslist is your friend for couches. I got a $3k (new) leather couch in good condition for $200 that way. That was one of many choices at the time, for no more than $400. It's long and comfortable to sleep on and I could probably sell it for $200 when I move. Add another ~$100 for a nice Japanese futon and you've got beds for 2 guests.
So this is the one I currently have

I've had back problems before and initially bought it for that reason, but now I have a hard time falling asleep on a traditional western bed. I'm a stomach and side sleeper. I think if you were a back sleeper the transition would be a lot easier. But I also learned that sleeping with another pillow for back support depending on your sleeping style was important too.
http://www.lumobodytech.com/2013/06/improve-your-posture-while-you-sleep/
I've had no problems with my back since switching and can honestly say I'll never go back. (no pun intended) IMO, pay the shipping and invest in the shikibuton. It's the best purchase decision I've made in a long time.
Agreed. But also not wrong, you folks are hooped if you don't run at this deal. RFD is swarming.
Returns are a thing, you'll be fine.
FYI: The OEM stand is garbage, consider these options.

Works great, I've driven a 500 miles with it permanently in the back and haven't had any problem with movement or shifting. Also is a good way to organize the trunk.
I actually slept on this for over a year, last year, before getting married. It was great. Definitely takes some time to get used to though. After a few days your whole body starts to crave a traditional mattress, but it adapts.
I'm not sure if this is actually a traditional futon though. Anyway, it was great, and I could roll it up when I needed more space.
That is why I chose a free standing TV mount instead of a wall mount. I wanted something that could be easily moved without having to be remounted to another wall. Here is a link to the one that I bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BY3JVE2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I have been happy with it, and I left off the shelf since it was not needed.
> Might need a thinner and/or lighter futon mattress. Anyone have any ideas?
I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VQNM2I/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 as my in-house sleeping surface and it's wonderful. Dunno if they make double bed sizes, but for a single person it's great.
Height looks perfect. Those toothpicks would make me nervous too though. As they're ridiculously popular with manufacturers at this point, already decided I'm gonna go with one of these stands upon next TV purchase (& assuming yours is a 65"). Kind of averse to mounting things on the wall myself. Probably able to raise just enough for speakers to go under. If ya don't like, meh, got a nice sturdy stand anyways.
I think this studio is kind of cute/cozy! If you can change the bed for a futon, that's a bed and couch in one.
Is there enough room to put the big table where the small table is in the pictures? You might be able to fit a couch where the big table is, and put the small table in front of that? Or get rid of the small table all together and get some shelving instead... with perhaps a love seat?
If you want to go Japanese style, you could get rid of the bed, and get a roll-up bed, that would give you more floor space.
I've had a few futons over the years and I gotta say my favorite mattress so far (link below) was 8'' thick with springs. Some of the mattresses are thinner, without springs and for extended periods of use they can be uncomfortable.
I'd make sure the futon's sturdy. If you were to get a metal one (for example) make sure the support bars are thick! If they're not they'll start to bend before you know it.
Another suggestion is to make sure your futon has a metal stopper at the end of the frame. This keeps your mattress from sliding forward. If you have a thicker mattress or if you move around a lot you'll want something to keep your mattress from sliding forward which is where the stopper comes in handy.
This would be a good example of a metal frame with thicker bars and a stopper...
https://www.google.com/search?q=metal+futon+frame&amp;rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS715US715&amp;espv=2&amp;biw=1536&amp;bih=779&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwi1gJ-lqNLQAhUI7SYKHV3iB7gQ_AUIBygC#imgrc=Aeg1iPh-iiJHPM%3A
If you look at the front of the bed you'll see two bars that go vertical (I just call them stoppers, no idea what they're actually called.) Those are important to keep your mattress from sliding down!
And here's a link for a killer mattress (I'm using it right now for my futon which I sleep on every night.)

If you're cheap, get a second sleeping bag from a thrift shop and stuff it with eggcrate foam. I slept on one of those for a few months and it was not bad.
I slept on one of these for a few months and loved it. I slept with it on a carpeted floor, and I made a point of rolling it up every morning and airing it out every weekend and had no problems with moisture or mold.
I've also just tossed that shikibuton on top of camping cots and found it totally comfortable. That would give you plenty of air under it.
Unfortunately, my husband is pretty insistent on a larger bed and insisted on a regular mattress as well.

The IKEA SIGNUM cable tray is a miracle worker. Easy install on the underside of the tabletop!
That's why I like to use a swiveling tabletop stand even for larger sets instead of relying on the TV legs, even when you do have a good flat wide surface already. Gives plenty of flexibility for sound bars and swiveling the picture directly towards you more for slightly varying seating positions.
Ok, and for that area of the world, is that better than the norm for her financial situation, less than, or the norm? To me it seems like it would be either the norm, or a little better.
I have slept on the damn floor with no mattress for longer than I'd like to admit, and or slept on one these for probably 6+ Months. https://www.amazon.com/Sleeper-Folding-Foldable-Density-Pounds/dp/B00G2RYF4C/ except a much cheaper version. As for no closet? I haven't had a closet in... well I have no clue probably 10+ years. My point is not having a closet is not really a big deal.
You really shouldn't ever stack things like that, or have a force pushing down on the ps4 from the top...any chance you could build a little table with legs that are wider than the ps4 for the monitor to sit on?
edit: I mean something like this but maybe you could save $50 and build yourself..or find for cheaper somewhere else.

Well, Amazon has these Japanese floor futons that seem to get really good reviews, although they're more "rollable" than "foldable", they also have this folding mattress.
The coffee table is probably from Amazon. I have the same one and love it.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Have you considered a stand like this?
https://smile.amazon.com/Fitueyes-Universal-Tabletop-Component-TT107002GB/dp/B018I1XTFU/

You can use a stand for it if that doesn’t bother you (that way the tv doesn’t have to be higher than it is, which looks to be a good height, though a tad low it looks like).
Nice choice of speakers ;)
I moved to sleeping on a small Japanese futon here
I get that one reason for this is probably because high soft beds were an unnecessary luxary especially at that time in history. But additionally I am convinced that 99% of Western beds are too soft and damage the spine. Sleeping on a futon like this takes some getting used to but overall it leads to a lot less tossing and turning and a more efficient sleep because of it.
Dang girl work that tax refund.
You obviously need this chair along with this chair
Surprise me. :)
Thanks, here is an Amazon link for anyone that is curious. On mobile so I'm not sure if it will work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ETN50B8/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Paracord sleeving is rather easy, a 15 foot cable might take you 20 minutes.
Another way to keep the cables off the ground would be a guide. Like a hook angled upward from the chair base to act as an arm carrying the cable. Or instead of going through all of this you could build from the desk instead of the chair, or put a c shape table on each end of your chair.
this! because there are only two left in stock and it looks amazing!

IKEA - SIGNUM Cable management, horizontal, silver color (FBA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/9178905931/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7ow3CbRVXK6Y2
I use one of these and it's worked out pretty well
My dog insists on being on my lap (he's 55 pounds!). Because of this, I rarely work at my desk. I use one of these (Reclaimed Wood Look Finish Chrome Snack Side End Table https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JOAUT3K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FnqvCbR5WWNNH) for working from my couch.
I also would recommend headphones and getting our of the house if you have trouble being self disciplined. I work 6-8hrs per day without turning on the tv or doing chores.
I use a planner to keep track of deadlines, hours worked per job, and pay.
Having a good mouse helps.
I dunno if this is the right place to ask but I was wondering what the best in replicating something like the IKEA Signum but a little cheaper. Don't really feel like it should be $25 for something so simple but I could be wrong.

There's also a coffee table there in the other items by the picture. Great price, real sturdy.
Just get an aftermarket stand. I got one for my X900F and it works great.

I'll post the link below. I got my current bed in 2014 and I think it's a little too soft. Sometimes I had some mild back pains and I randomly found myself tossing and turning a lot. Then I tried various floor sleeping set ups but they were all too hard on my pressure points. This futon feels like the perfect medium. Day #2 I naturally slept in longer than I have in months. So far I've only rolled it up and hit it for maintenance but it has maintained 100% of the shape so far.

I think it'd be cleaner if you could put those consoles away in the cabinet or maybe get something like this. That's my only real critique, it's not a bad station
Thanks! It's this one from amazon:

I used one if these for a year. Really comfy, and because it rolls up it’s perfect for a small room.
Does it have holes for a VESA wall mount on the back? You can get table top stands for VESA mounts. Like this.
This is pretty much all you need (along with some time/patience):

I got it for $149 — the price fluctuates between $120 and $170 and goes completely out of stock often. But, I can attest to it’s quality. Good for the price.

I'll probably pick up the PQ65-F, looks like it's $1200 right now at Costco. I also grabbed a VESA base (link) since the Vizio's legs are wider than my cabinet.
One more question, though - the PQ65-F specs say it supports HDMI v2.0 but this article says HDMI v2.0 only supports 4k @ 60 Hz. So I guess you'd run most content @ 4k 60 Hz, then drop down to 1080p 120 Hz for games?
An IKEA Signum rack would do nicely coupled with some vel-cro cable ties (or zip ties) and a power supply box / cable box

Like I said, you can use a stand to solve this. This one for example.
Not a riser but bought this universal stand for my 65in curved Samsung in order to fit a center underneath.

From Amazon. Looks just like stands that cost 4x more.

Find a way to fit the matching Sierra center or the the Sierra Horizon (with or without the tweeter upgrade to match the tweeters you have). No point in getting anything else.
Or remove the cabinet doors and move the shelf down.
Also the speakers would be better on stands as far apart as they are to you. See Speaker Placement for Stereo Music Listening and Speaker Placement for Home Theater. The subwoofer doesn't have to be next to the TV.

There is stuff like this all over Amazon for less than $100.
[This] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004LQ1RBK/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1420797092&amp;sr=1&amp;keywords=futon) is the one I bought somewhat recent. Been using it for 8 months and I love it. Just read through the reviews, it is definitively comfy enough for nightly sleeping of two.
I linked the chocolate one b/c it is a lot cheaper than the other colors and besides, your going to cover it w/ a bedsheet anyway right?
To answer your original question, it is not super soft but it is soft enough.
Maybe something like this. If you want more height for using it as a sofa, you can put it up on a platform (maybe stack some pallets?), and just pull it down onto the floor at night
Ikea sells them, but I ordered it through Amazon. It was cheaper on Amazon at the time.

Feature list states the top shelf can hold 250# and the other shelves 75# each.
I'm unaware of any good way to rackmount a high-end turntable. How did you set yours up?
I have this bed roll that I use when I'm crashing on a friend's floor or car camping -- when it's rolled up, it works nicely as a floor cushion
Nice set up I like that desk my current one is not very deep at all so I have to mod it to make it more useful I'm looking to get a new one and I think I might get one of these. I had the same problem with cable management but I got the Ikea SIGNUM from [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9178905931/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) and it cleaned up the floor.
Like this? or this?
This is what I just recently bought for my new house. It's not as nice as Salamander stuff, but it was a lot cheaper and it is really sturdy once together too, so I have no issues with it. I guess it just depends on your number of components.
I think you will have to spend well over $200 dollars to get any sort of rack system though.

Folding chair/bed, interesting =)
The Japanese don't even use beds, but instead a bed roll. You could create this for less with some blankets, towels, or even a foam mattress topper.
Beans, rice, and veggies will keep you healthy for very cheap. I suggest frozen veggies for convenience.
You don't need a bed, I've slept on one of these japanese futons for about a year and a half and I love it, feels way better for my back than a normal bed. If it feels too thin, you can put a yoga mat under it for like $10-15.
If you have a traditional phone plan (t-mobile, att&t, verizon) it's probably a good idea to look into changing that (depends when your 2 year lease is up). Look into MVNO's. I pay $20/mo on Ultra Mobile with a $50 smartphone I found on SlickDeals.
Check on Craigslist for furniture and shit. There are often lots of desks for free that you just need to move. You can find someone with a van to move stuff on CL for cheap as well.
I'm glad I was broke because now that I'm earning like $50,000 a year, I can spend a lot of that feeding poor people and shit instead of buying shit that doesn't make me happy and contributes to the destruction of the planet.

My boyfriend and I are moving into our first apartment soon, and we had this exact dilemma. First of all, never buy a used mattress. It is never worth it. You spend a third of your life sleeping, why would you want to spend that time marinating in someone else's dead skin, sweat, oils, and possibly sexual fluids? It is the nature of how mattresses are made, whether spring or foam, that they are more or less impossible to truly clean. So, new mattress. Buy the rest of the bed used if you want--frame, box spring, headboard, whatever the hell you want. But the mattress is something you want to spend money on.
The solution my bf and I found was a Japanese-style futon. We ordered the queen-size, which is twice the width of the one I just linked. Cheaper than any mattress of any size (our original plan was to get two twin-XL mattresses and stick them together to make a king), and you don't need the accoutrements like a frame or box spring. All you need is a (clean) floor, and you can even roll the bed up and put it away during the day to give yourself more room to do other things.
I'm not a vandweller but saw your post on /r/all. Would a hammock be possible? What about an all-foam mattress, and cut it narrower (or fold it in half)? Or something like this
or this
Something like this may help. It won't hide the wires completely but you would have to crawl under the desk to see them.
