Thanks. A lot of good advice for my dire cable management situation. I do need a bed frame but honestly the mattress I sleep on right now was from my landlord's garage. It's hard and my lower back is nearly destroyed from sleeping on it. I'm saving up first for a softer mattress
You can get "flat" extension cords with or without a surge protector at the end.
Instead of coming straight out, the plug is really skinny and the cord is right next to the wall parallel to it.
They also make these little plastic things that clip onto the cord on one side, and stick to the wall on the other. So you can keep the cord nice.
I made a different comment about slat frames. But if your looking for a new mattresses and have back issues, I strongly suggest one of the latex/foam mattresses and a metal slate frame. It's going to be cheaper than just a conventional mattress from a store and way better for your back.
As a short term solution to the hard mattress you can use a mattress softener.
Saving for a good mattress is definitely a priority. For whatever it’s worth, regular yoga can help mitigate the damage and discomfort of the current mattress.
