I have a bedroom on the larger size. My bed sits against a wall with a slope above it. Opposite is a chair and ottoman, adjacent to that a chaise lounge. I like to listen both while in bed, and reading in bed, and would prefer stereo sound. I have two era 300, but am now rethinking. My options would be utilizing the two era 300’s, one by the bed, one across( doesn’t seem optimal) and either two era 100’s beside the bed or opposite, or four, two beside, and two opposite. I love even just the single era 300 I have, but two I think is overkill and won’t give me the stereo sound I’d like. Would love the communities thoughts!

If it isn’t a home theater room, the most you can put in the software in a ‘room’ is 2.1 (the rules change in home theater rooms). That being said, you can group rooms together so they play in sync, so that’s a minor bump to you.

Do you want to listen to Atmos based music? Or is it just stereo? Both the Era 300 and Era 100 can play stereo content, but I always prefer separated speakers to get the best separation. 

It ultimately boils down to your music, and your ears. Any of these solutions would be fine.

I have  a pair of 300s that I really like, you get stereo sound in a much larger area than a pair of 100s. Due to the side-firing speakers. I'd consider putting a pair across from the and seating.

In another room I have a Play sitting on a chair-side table and find tne sound quite impressive.

if you post a floorplan, a rough sketch is fine, you might get  better suggestions. Posting a picture from  your phone works well.
