sold my bed for this minimalist koala sofa bed

in this video, i explain why the koala sofa bed made the most sense for my new studio apartment compared to a traditional bed/sleeping on the floor. living in a smaller space forces you to get creative and look for items that have a multi-functional purpose. let me know your thoughts in the comments!

This was a great, informative video. Thank you so much!

[@flonought]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Would still be on the lookout for mold if you live in an area that gets humid in the summer- since you're directly on the floor.

[@flonought]

For sure, that is definitely something I’ll still be on the lookout for since it’s my full time bed. My impression from researching was that it would be less maintenance/risk than the shikibuton/floor futon, but I understand it’s still a possibility if not cared for properly. I’m going to do an update video 3 to 6 months in to review how well it is holding up.

Appreciate this honest, thorough review!

[@flonought]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@funkleroz3038]

cant wait to see how your gonna minimasign your apt!

[@flonought]

Glad you’re excited! I’m stoked to do that video too, and am very happy with the apartment. Waiting for my office chair to arrive and then I’ll shoot that video. Will eventually have to get some of my photography printed and framed up also, but I’ll do that later on.

Dope sofa man! Looks pretty comfy and makes it seem like you have a bunch of room when it's in its couch form

[@flonought]

Thanks man! Much more comfortable than I thought it would be. And definitely, it has saved so much space in the apartment. So glad I didn’t go with a mattress and frame.

[@panktikhandwala6924]

hey! very informative video! could you please comment if the sofa is comfortable to sleep on a regular basis? We intend to buy one but use it for regular sleeping purposes. is the mattress holding its shape ?

[@flonought]

hey, thank you! yes, i find it to be very comfortable. i’m a side sleeper, so i can only speak to that position. it’s been about a month of daily use and it still looks/feels great. i assume it will develop somewhat of a ‘lived in’ look over time. i’ll be doing a follow up video about 2 to 3 months in to show how it’s holding up and speak to it in more detail. but so far i couldn’t be more happy with the purchase, especially for my small space.

@@flonought thank you for replying! It was very helpful!

[@flonought]

@@panktikhandwala6924 for sure! happy to help 🙂

as you age if you spend a lot of time on your feet, you will grow to appreciate your feet hanging off the bed for strengthening / not putting pressure on your ankles.

[@flonought]

I’ll keep that in mind. I have a desk job so I do a lot of sitting during the day. Main form of movement is going to the gym regularly and walking outside.
