We never turned on a light, and didn't leave the room at all for the first 8 months of DD's life. She only discovered my bedside lamp on Sunday morning (at 16 months old) and thinks it is the most miraculous thing EVER.
I fed in bed, lying down, all the time. When she moved into her own room, then I fed on the couch in the room between us, and then when we moved house and had room for a feeding chair in her room, I fed there.
Baby Led Attachment is a great way to go to help you trust your baby to get the attachment right by herself. We did this and have neve even had to think about it.
ETA: Our spare bed is in the garage. It's not that comfortable, but that's his choice. He didn't get up for the first 5 months, I didn't ask him to, but now we split it 50-50 (we only get a night waking once a week at most)
