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.

I do have concerns about the room being too cramped. When Zen cleans, he puts stuff in boxes for me to sort through so now we have a ton of boxes around that are making me feel cramped. However, im thinking about temporarily arranging the boxes around the bed to take up that extra space and see how i feel about navigating around it, just to get a real sense of it (just holding out the measuring tape isn't enough). Zen also isn't sure its worth getting a new bed for only 6 inches. I'd like to try out some beds but I'd also like the salespeople to not hover. :)

Oh, that's a great idea, putting boxes around the bed to get a sense of the new dimensions.

Good luck!
