37. One side of a 2-seater recliner, weighed down with a 12 pound weighted blanket.

This particular recliner feels as if it were built just for me. I have a longish torso, and my recliner is curved in just the right places.

I'm quite sure I could very comfortably spend the night there. I used to be a side sleeper, but became a back sleeper after 2 hip replacements.

Various of our cats often nap with me when I'm on the recliner.

A friend of ours told us this very amusing acronym - SCAN - Senior Citizen Afternoon Nap. I'm all in favor of SCANning.
