With the rise of WFH these past few years, one of the most common pieces of advice I’ve heard from acquaintances and seen on the interweb is, “Don’t work from your bed. Your desk is for working, and your bed is for sleeping.” But after much trial and error, I’ve reached the conclusion that it’s OK to disagree. In fact, I’d even go so far as to argue that I get some of my best, most productive work done while I’m working from my bed or couch — in fact, most of my undergraduate thesis (whew, how time flies) was written from the comfort of my lounging spaces. While this might be a hot take, in the spirit of Sleep Week 2024, I’ve decided that there was no better time to make an ode to the love of my life: aka my plushy mattress, cozy comforter, and soft bedsheets.
This is the bed I’ve made and I’m more than ready to lie in it. If you’re of the same opinion that WFB (work from bed) is the ultimate & final form of working from home, this article is for you, my friend with a great mind who thinks alike. From space-saving bedside shelves to top-rated blue light-blocking glasses, I’ve rounded up the best Amazon find to elevate your bed or couch to the workspace of your dreams. So don’t sleep on these must-haves, and get ready to do some shopping.
