To make the most of a small room, choose furniture that serves more than one purpose. One of my personal dilemmas was to find a new bed that was small enough to leave enough space for me to stretch and do active yoga comfortably in the privacy of my own room. My current bed at the time took up most of the space.

After virtual shopping around to no avail, I decided to sit silently and make a mental list of what I needed out of a bed as far as comfort level and the integrity of a full night’s sleep. The pressure points that a mattress entails is what caused me to toss and turn once in a while sometimes waking me up. Long story short, deciding on a hammock was a no-brainer when I found one that is stylish and portable. The key is to refer to your lifestyle, personality and ethics and you will find options that you will find thinking outside of the box.
