Home birth -not water

I'm currently 24+1 and trying to decide between a hospital and home birth. If I do go for a home birth, it won't be with a pool. I was just wondering, for anyone else who's done a home birth without a pool - where did you end up giving birth? In your living room? On the bed? I keep imagining it as being in our living room, because it's huge, but would that be really weird? Our bedroom is quite small, and our bed is a futon so it's at floor level - would that work? Once we've got the cot put up and in there as well, there's really not going to be much space around the bed!

I've given birth twice in the bath in the smallest bathroom - just room for one midwife and DH.

It was utter bliss. My own shower. My own bed. My own fridge to raid.
