Visualizing the Reality of Building a 'Lazy Room': Nationwide Survey of 55 People Reveals an 'Immobile Lifestyle' and Spatial Optimization Achieved for Just 10,000 Yen
HADO Co., Ltd.'s media 'Monita' surveyed 55 people about their 'completely immobile' holidays. The study found that over half spend 6+ hours without moving. Spending an average of 10,000 yen on items like extra-long cables and grabbers, consumers are building functional 'life-support zones' as a strategic form of rest to combat modern stress.

HADO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Taiga Tanaka), which operates the consumer-participatory media 'Monita', conducted a 'Fact-finding Survey on Complete Immobility on Holidays' targeting 55 men and women nationwide.
With the widespread use of social media and remote work, it has become difficult to switch between 'on' and 'off' modes. We report on the modern-day phenomenon of 'living space optimization', where people seek to recover physically and mentally by building a 'sanctuary where they don't move a single step' on their days off.
Background of the Survey
In modern society, how to improve the quality of rest has become an urgent issue. In this survey, we redefined the behavior of 'spending a holiday without taking a single step', which is often dismissed as mere 'laziness', as a 'strategic rest' to protect oneself from a stressful environment.
How do consumers eliminate the 'need to move' and select items that extend their physical functions within a limited budget? By visualizing this consumption behavior and the mechanism of spatial design, we examine the ideal state of 'true rest' in modern lifestyles.
Survey Result Summary
Establishment of the 'Immobile Lifestyle': More than half of the respondents answered that they spend 6 hours or more, and 18.2% of the total spend 'half a day or more' without moving a step. This highlights the reality that 'turning into a stone statue' (complete immobility) on holidays has taken root among certain demographics.
Low-Cost Spatial Optimization: The most common budget spent on building this environment is 10,000 yen. Rather than introducing expensive furniture, 'efficient laziness' via the introduction of gadgets with specific functions is highly supported.
Functional Gadgets Comprising the 'Life-Support Zone': Items functioning as an 'extension of the body' are essential, such as ultra-long charging cables over 3 meters, grabbers (magic hands), and large-capacity cooling/heating vacuum flasks.
Survey Detail 1: 30% are Completely Immobile for 'Half a Day or More'. The Time that Defines the 'Quality' of Rest
In the survey regarding immobile time on holidays, '3 to 6 hours (32.7%)' was the most common response, while answers such as 'half a day or more (18.2%)' and 'hardly moving from waking up to going to bed (10.9%)' stood out.
These do not simply refer to sleeping time, but rather the time spent staying in the exact same place while awake. Completing all activities (information consumption, eating, drinking, relaxing) without moving from a specific 'living point' is thought to function as a time for 'mental detox' for modern individuals.

Survey Detail 2: 'Immobile Environment' Design Philosophy Emphasizing Investment Efficiency
We found that there is a clear 'selection logic' for the items used to build the immobile environment.
[Externalization of Physical Functions] Introduction of grabbers (magic hands) and side tables. A 'functional extension' that makes all items accessible while seated.
[Permanent Energy Supply] Ultra-long cables of 3 meters or more. Physically blocking the 'forced movement' caused by devices running out of charge.
[Self-Sufficiency of Supply Lines] Deployment of large-capacity thermoses and kettles. Securing water rights to complete hydration in a fixed position, avoiding 'exile' (moving to the kitchen).
Survey Detail 3: Consumers Talk About the 'Benefits of Immobility' and the Partners They Chose
Respondents shared the following anecdotes regarding the deep satisfaction gained from building their own unique environments.
[Female in her 30s / 3m charging cable] 'I physically secure the cable to my bed with a clip. An environment where my smartphone doesn't leave my hands even if I toss and turn directly links to my mental stability. It's an investment to bring my fatigue down to 0% while keeping my charge at 100%.'
[Male in his 50s / Grabber] 'A 1,000-yen grabber (magic hand) freed me from the decision of "standing up" just to grab a remote control a few centimeters away. I realize the luxury of reducing the travel distance to zero.'
Discussion: Turning Space into a Fortress is a Form of 'Self-Defense' in Modern Society
From this survey, it became clear that the construction of an ideal 'lazy environment (= fortress)' is not unplanned negligence, but a meticulous process of environmental optimization asking 'how to eliminate stress (movement and decisions)'.
The '50cm radius life-support zone' achievable with a budget of around 10,000 yen can be described as 'modern siege tactics' to minimize external contact and ensure personal peace. For modern people exposed to an excessive intake of information, this 'immobile rest' has become one of the most efficient and pressing mental care methods.
