On furnishing a bedroom, Sumo lounge

So, I am redeploying back to the states soon, and I have sold/given away everything I own. So, I am looking to purchase all new furniture (and clothing, but that is another topic) I have all but settled on purchasing a sumo gigantor for my room. Both as a couch type seating arrangement, and a place to sleep. I am looking for a somewhat off the wall design for my room, and this would fit nicely with what I am looking for, I think. Along with some kind of cedar chest or something of the sort to store a comforter in when I am not sleeping. If anyone has any ideas why this would be a horrible horrible plan, or maybe some other bedroom decorating ideas. I would love to hear them.
tl;dr: Buying a sumo gigantor for sleeping/sitting, anyone with experience please chime in on whether this is a terrible idea

Get a bed, maybe lean some extra pillows along the wall so it can be a couch too, but you need a bed
So I would go with others and suggest a bed. It's good for sitting playing games etc just not enough support to sleep on.
Same here. Now, obviously I'm used to a bed, so that might have had something to do with it, but still, they aren't the most comfortable things.
Plus, the most important reason not to get one;
What if you have a girl over?
Ironically, this is the reason I was looking at the sumo sac in the first place, I have been told that someone wants to "test drive" one, I was excited about only needing a single bit of furniture in my room, since I tend to spend most of my time there, I want something comfy to sit on for movie time as well. I was hoping to avoid spending $2K+ on a mattress (If I do get a bed, it will be the best bed) but I suppose if it comes down to that, oh well.
anyone have any other odd styling ideas they have always wanted to try? keep in mind I am working with a relatively small space here.
It's much more awkward, much less relaxing, and cleaning up is a pain in the ass. Sleeping two people in one is cute and cuddly the first time, but night 3 you just want some space.
There's nothing wrong with getting a Sumo, but don't make it your primary sleeping quarters. Imagine sleeping, sitting, gaming, eating, and having sex all in the same chair.....Then make that chair very difficult to clean.
How about a Futon?
As a "couch" replacement though, these things are pretty cool. My friends are obsessed with it and I love it in the living room.
