Chairs and Extra Seating for the Dorm Room
Shipping Them Off to College A to Z
The only seating you will find in a dorm room is a basic desk chair (some art schools supply stools) and a bed. Neither of these provide enough comfort for hours of studying. Studying in bed does not lend to good posture, and most desk chairs just make your butt go numb. This is why you will want to consider looking into extra seating options for the dorm room.
Chair cushions are a valid option to add to your desk chair especially, if you don't want to lug a big piece of furniture to campus. Make sure the cushion for your dorm chair isn't too flimsy. Check out stores like Pier One Imports and Ikea for Outdoor furniture cushions that are waterproof and will clean up well.
Video game chairs are low to the floor compact chairs that are very comfortable for hours of video game playing or perhaps reading. Bean bag chairs can also serve the same function.
Sphere or butterfly chairs fold up for easy transportation and are a great seating option for when desk chairs are too hard or dorm beds are too high. They are also inexpensive and come in fun colors.
Futons are great if you are lucky to have a large dorm room or are willing to sleep inches from the ceiling in a loft bed. Beware of cheap futons costing only $100.00 because they will probably not be comfortable. Futons are also a must if you plan to have the occasional overnight guest.
Recliner chairs are a man's best friend. They are heavy, hard to transport, but make a dorm room very manly. Of course you will need a room with the space for one, or two. The best news of all is that your grandpa, uncle, or perhaps dad will have an old one in their basement or garage that they will be willing to part with.
For long hours of studying, you may want to put aside your dorm supplied chair and replace it with an ergonomic office chair. Your back will thank you, and you will have a chair for guests to sit on.
Floor pillows are another seating option for the dorm room. They are great for people who don't want to lug furniture, plus they are easy to stack in a corner when not in use. In addition, they can be used as a backrest of a twin bed so it feel more like a sofa.
