Hey guys/girls, I'm looking to optimize my room for setting up my 3 way sensor rift, while also keeping it sort of like room...

Here's my three options.
Setup 1 -

My current room setup, leaving me with a rather small play area.

Second option is flipping my bed mattress and box spring up against the wall to give me a larger play area. After I'm done, I can just drop the mattress back onto the ground.

Setup 3 -

Biggest option, but also might look a little strange. I flip my mattress up against the wall and permanently move my PC desk into the closet space, taking the doors off to open it up. The desk and chair will fit perfectly in the space. I would move my closet dresser over to the corner where my desk currently is, giving me some extra room to play with.



What do you guys think?

well the smallest won't leave you much to move your arms and you will probably hit things like i did.

Most games can be played with a pretty limited space, especially from the Oculus Store (none room scale). Not sure it would be worth moving your bed like that every time. Guess it depends on what you want to play.

My bed is just the mattress and boxspring, no actual frame work, I can easily flip it up against the wall. 
I'm a tall guy, 6'4'', and my room is about 7'6'' in height, but I have a ceiling fan that I'd like to try to stay clear of for the most part so I don't smash anything. So the bigger the space, the better.

I think you're selling the first option short.
In Setup 1, you can extend the play area up towards the closet to give you a 4 x 8 area. I think you're more likely to be moving side to side than backwards and forwards.
It would give your long arms more room to flap around in. 🙂
