It is a mitzva for a person to live in the sukka during the seven days of the holiday in the way one normally lives at home. This includes moving a table, chairs, and beds into the sukka.
Even though we must treat the sukka like our home, there is a difference. At home, one does all necessary activities, whether dignified or undignified. In contrast, we show respect for the sukka by not doing undignified things there. For example, one should not change a diaper in the sukka. The sukka must be treated like a formal space.
For women, the mitzva of sukka is optional while it is obligatory for men.
