Studio apartments and you

Yeah, i'd pick a Murphy bed before i did a futon or a sleeper/sofa. Airmatress could be good, but they can be a pain in the ass. Murphys can double as storage and look decent

i'll save that much in less than a year living here versus some of the other options i had--this is just a month-to-month spot while i get used to the area as well, but i don't think i'll be living anywhere much bigger than this in the near future
still, i think sparse furnishings and a bed in the corner are looking like the better option, if i find a clever way to partition it

how can you cleverly partition 500 sq. ft

Well the sofa he pointed out is something like $2-3k if I recall off the top of my head so price difference isn't huge. =O
that's the $950 question
In Hong Kong 450 sq. feet is a nice sized apartment. I'm sure you can manage.

Really if you don't plan on making a studio apartment your lifestyle of living then I wouldn't worry about it.
Just get yourself some slimline furnishings and have at it.

It can breed sleep problems if you do your daily activities on your bed. There's psychological shit there, but if you just spent 2 hours laying around on your bed watching a movie or something, it won't be as comfortable when you decide to go to sleep.
It is possible to partition a studio using a curtain, beads or IKEA shit. Yeah, it'll be cramped but that's what you get for having a studio.

500sqft is a pretty good sized studio. i definitely agree w/ those who say have a separate bed.

How many sq ft is your trailer?
how long are you planning on staying there?
i've rented an apartment a bit smaller than that in the past, you might run into trouble especially if you have a lot of shit (tv, couch, coffee table, dining table, exercise gear...)
if you'll be there for a short period of time (<1yr) i wouldn't waste 1500 bucks on a high-end murphy bed and just get a 4" camping foam or something
