Did you check on the forums like OLX and here for second hand or old furniture that's an easy way to convince wife's.

Thanks Gautam for starting this usefull thread. Even I am also checking of a reasonable price for seating.

The idea in the snap looks innovative but only problem is that the people seated in the rows behind can't stretch their legs!

Nice idea. Simple and cheap.

Yes, the design in innovative and appealing but I don't people will be comfortable using the seat. The back support are not strong enough as there is only a pillow except in the back row. And also people sitting in the back and middle row will not be able to stretch their legs.

I prefer to have something solid support till my head while sitting and watching. Otherwise it becomes very uncomfortable for me for longer period of time.

My 2 cents

If you are tight on budget, you can checkout some good bean bags. I have seen circular shaped bean bags that are 5' or 5.5' in diameter with a very good upholstery. They workout pretty cheaper compared to sofas. You have the best placement option and give you the best comfort . I am not talking about the regular ones, but bigger round ones. Check them out. I saw them in DNI home theater systems in Bangalore.

Thanks,
John.

I prefer bean bags. I thought of the pallete idea, but the ones i found needed a lot of work, so dropped it.

hi all...sorry..forgot about this post in total..

i used to love bean bags..
but there were a few problems..

1. Not consistent in seating position.. just goes to any shape and i end up horizontal before even i realise..and in a few minutes..im sleeping there..

2. back pain.. though there are a lot of opposing statements eitherways i get back pain if i sit on it for some time..

3. size goes down every month or two.. and i have to refill..

having said all these.. i have tried the normal xl size bean bags with small beans only..
a cousin of mine has a very large round one.. im wondering where ill get that..and how much its gonna bleed my wallet for..

any one has a link??

If you are looking for two levels of seating arrangement, then why not a sofa cum bed. Not the ones which are max 4 ft in width, but the full fledged queen size ones? All you need is a extra cushion to keep them at two different levels and treat it as a seat rather bed.

this is what I did for my HT room with 2 old unused cots. 5 days of work with the Tailor/Liner. It costed me about 17k approximately for material and labor.

thanks gautham .. sorry, didnt take pics when they were doing it .. but this is what was done -

Foam and Rexin coating over the wooden parts
One cot length was reduced by a foot to make sure it fit in the room
the beds were restitched again with foam to give it shape (cot and beds are over 50 yrs old !!)
the back rest was made/stitched out of foam and recron
