Bed size

[sleepybadger]

What size is your bed? Is it too big, too small, or just right? If you had to buy a new bed today, what size would you get?

Zen and I share a full/double size bed. Sometimes it's fine. Other times, when Zen's elbow is in my ear or his forearm is across my forehead, or when I come back from the bathroom and he's in full starfish position, it's way too freaking small. I am hoping/planning to replace our bed this year. A queen size bed is only 6 inches (15.24cm) wider than what we have now. A king is 23(!!!!) inches (58.42cm) wider. I like the idea of a king size bed, but it will take up a LOT of our little bedroom. Any thoughts?

For reference, this is our floor plan, we're in the 12 x 12 bedroom.

We have a queen bed and it's plenty big for us, although not always when all five cats join us. We couldn't get a king into our room, not with the bureau and bookcases we have in it now. Sounds like you have the same problem. There are times when a queen size bed is just right.

We probably could fit a king in there, but i think it might be too crowded. I think I'm going to try arranging boxes around the bed to see how it would feel to have something that size in there and then decide. Zen isn't sure it's worth spending the money on a new bed (plus frame. headboard, sheets, etc) if we don't get that much more space.

We have a lovely bed frame. It was supposed to be a waterbed, but we had it fitted with a regular mattress. I fell in love with it at the store and still love it to this day - and we have several matching pieces (all made with stained 2 x 4 and 4 x 4 pine. Good luck!
