What size bed do you have?

We have a queen. DH wants a king. The room is big enough for a king, I just don't know, our bed seems fine to me and is only 4 years old. I have taken a look at the cost of a new kingh size bed and I am shocked! lol

What size bed do you have?

Is it the right size?

What did you pay (if you have a king)?

Re: What size bed do you have?

  • Queen. We're fine with it. The only time we wanted a king was when our son was younger and we co-slept. My husband sometimes got forced out of the bed. We had a king in a hotel room when our son was 4 months old and it was heaven, but I'm not sure if we'd need it for just the two of us.

  • Queen...a King just seems too big.  And the sheets and stuff for them are expensive too.

  • A double believe it or not.  We need a new bed and will probably get a Queen.  But honestly?  DH is a cuddler.  He's always on my side of the bed.  I'm right up at the edge trying to get away from him and he's stuck to me like a postage stamp.  We probably only actually *need* a single because of this little... quirk.

  • Queen. I wish we had a King, I like my space but DH is a cuddler so he was fine with a Queen until we started cosleeping...haha and he'd probably tell you we started cosleeping through pregnancy as baby took up the room then when I slept on my side but even more so now, I tell him to move over.

    I say go for the King! 

  • What size bed do you have? Queen

    Is it thr gith size? I have no idea, I went to a store to buy a bed and just bought the matress on display with it.

    What did you pay (if you have a king)? N/A (but I payed about $1,500 for bed and matress,  but it was a 50% off sale)

    Aside - we could fit a king in our room, but we don't want one.  DH has actually figured out that, I snore more in a king size bed...  because there's more room for me to roll on to my back, vs in a queen bed i'm up against the edge and can't roll.  (DH dreds vacation because he doesn't get any sleep due to my snoring!)

    I hadn't even considered this. Maybe I need to sit down and figure out what it would all cost, then show it DH! lol

  • We have a double (DH's bed when we met) and it's fine for us. We pretty much manage to stay on our own sides of the bed except for some occasional spooning. :)

    That said, we will probably upgrade to a queen the next time we buy a mattress... whenever that might be. We certainly don't feel the need for a king.

  • King and I love it.  DH wanted it, I thought it was an unneccessary expense and now I wouldn't have anything else.  Our original queen bed was pretty old though, not sure I would have jumped at it if it had been 5 years old.

    The frame was $400 at IKEA.  The mattress was over $1000, bought on sale at sleep country.  Honestly, I'd probably just buy the mattress from IKEA next time though.  My parents did that and their bed is as comfortable in my opinion.

    Sheets aren't that bad, if you think you're going to get one just watch for sales at Sears, the Bay and Home Outfitters.  I've never paid over $150 for a full sheet set, bamboo or 400+ thread count.  Around Christmas / Boxing Week is the best time to get deals on the sheets.

  • Thanks for the input. I just don't see the point of a king, not right now. DH has been obsessed with the idea of having one for years. He was very disappointed that, due to the staircase width/angles in our condo that we couldn't get one. It's alot of money to spend if you don't need to. We already have a double in our spare room, but that room will soon be an office. We have a twin that was used in our condo spare room...good lord, I don't an extra of each size! lol We'll wait and see...I think I can put it off for awhile longer.
  • DH wants to get a king size.  We also just got our bed about 4 years ago and don't plan on getting a different size any time soon.  If DH had his way we'd get a new one tomorrow.

  • We have a queen but I think we need a king.  We'll probably replace it in the next few years.  Mel-if you think the king beds are expensive, then have a look at the bedding.  Its crazy $$$$!!!
  • Queen!!! There was no question about what size we'd get because I had a Queen from university so we were not going to down-size, and a King will not fit in our bedroom or fit up the staircase. I'd love a king though!
  • Queen. But we need a new mattress so we may upgrade to king.
