Not an odd belief as such. But I've pretty much lived in 1 bedroom apartments all my life. And I'm social animal who hosts a lot. So there's always been a bed-dressed-as diwan in my living room. Not "day bed" or pull-out-couch cos they aren't as comfy. Proper living room bed.

Started off kinda ad hoc in my first own "adulting" home, which was a 1 bedroom in Bombay. Landlord had left an extra bed. I put it in the living room with some nice pillows. Bombay so people kept visiting and staying over. Turned out to be a great asset for those visitors.
Next home was State College, PA during PhD. A friend had an extra mattress and box set. Did the same. Again, great for hosting friends from all over the northeast. And the practicality of the idea jumped even more in a Manhattan 1 br. Some slept months on it! Living room bed #ftw
Helps having a wife who's also grown up sleeping in living rooms and tiny apartments, so we are on the same page re practicality over "aesthetics". Our apartment is the most un-decor-ed. It's like we are college roommates who are married. 🤣🤣
