Bunk Beds

In general we always liked the non loft bed set up's because of the practical nature of dorm rooms. For example if you decide to go with loft style bunk beds and your roommate has a friend come over - they will likely want to sit on the bottom bed to watch TV. So if you're the 'bottom' bunk person your space is seriously crimped. The dual or side by side bed layouts allow a functional walkway with equal sides of the room - thus keeping everyone happier.

Not all of your bedding needs to be long, only some specific items need to be so - especially your sheet sets, mattress pads and for the lucky feather beds. Dorm mattresses are firm and usually covered in a bio hazard like plastic material to prevent spill seepage. This means your sleep experience will be stiff, hot and crunchy at best. So we recommend a couple log bunk bed toppers plus your twin sheet set to be labeled. Items like your comforter would be nice if they were longer but they are not a firm requirement - only your basic bedding is. Actually to call it basic bedding is a misnomer because the bed is basic - those items are added for comfort.

Chair Designs

Chair design considers intended usage, ergonomics as well as non-ergonomic functional requirements such as size, stack ability, fold ability, weight, durability, stain resistance and artistic design. Intended usage determines the desired seating position. "Task chairs", or any chair intended for people to work at a desk or table, including dining chairs, can only recline very slightly; otherwise the occupant is too far away from the desk or table. Dental chairs are necessarily reclined. Easy chairs for watching television or movies are somewhere in between depending on the height of the screen.

Ergonomic design of Conference Chairs distributes the weight of the occupant to various parts of the body. A seat that is higher results in dangling feet and increased pressure on the underside of the knees.. It may also result in no weight on the feet which means more weight elsewhere. A lower seat may shift too much weight to the "seat bones".

A reclining seat and back will shift weight to the occupant's back. This may be more comfortable for some in reducing weight on the seat area, but may be problematic for others who have bad backs. In general, if the occupant is supposed to sit for a long time, weight needs to be taken off the seat area and thus "easy" chairs intended for long periods of sitting are generally at least slightly reclined. However, reclining may not be suitable for chairs intended for work or eating at table.
