I have offered this solution before. But I don't think you have tired it yet.
Move the laptop close to the TV's attach them via HDMI. You can even close the lid if you like.
Use a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mouse attached to the laptop. You can sit the keyboard and mouse anywhere in the room and move them around if you like. No Casting required. That's my setup in my living room. Works flawlessly.
 
You are not understanding, the laptop would be connected by a short cable next to the TV. You would then use a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse to connect to the laptop. You can lie in bed or anywhere else in the room and use the wireless keyboard and mouse to control the laptop that is next to the TV.
 
The setup I suggested would be to use the TV (s) as your display(s).
This doesn't work if you still want to use your laptop as an additional monitor.
I would think that 2 TV's as displays should be adequate for your setup and not need the laptop screen.
