Simply put your sofa on a 5' high stack of pallets so you head is at ceiling hight. A Viz top-tip there

Ah, a real word application for Emmett's double-decker couch!

The stack of pallets solution is enhanced if one of them is an anti-clockwise rotating pallet, ideally the third one up the stack.

(Joke, not poopooing the thread. Keep the poopoo away from the fan.)

Set fire to the pallets the sofa is on to keep feet warm

Assuming heat source is a radiator push the sofa close to it (forget the pallets) and erect a gazebo over them, with screens on the sides you don't need to see out of to view TV etc.  Keeping feet warm is effected by sitting with them in a large cardboard box filled with polystyrene bead cushions or an old duvet.  Have a side table with a hospitality tray/kettle and there you go - a cosy nest.

Or have a tented ceiling installed at just above standing head height, using reflective thermal material.

Or try a bit of inversion therapy instead - hang upside down - or just do an occassional handstand.  Against the wall next to a radiator.
