bed help, lol

we currently have a full-size bed and were going to get a queen-size for the new house. our friends mentioned over the weekend that they regretted not getting a king when they got their queen. what are your thoughts? get the queen or go for the king? thanks![Poll]

Re: bed help, lol

  • I got a queen when I moved back to Stillwater after college. While it was a huge upgrade from my full at home [and my twin XL in college], I wish I'd gotten a king. When I move to CO, H and I are definitely getting a king.

  • Get the KING!  Of course, I'm biased, because I don't like to snuggle in the night, so out big bed is the way to go for us.  We have a Cal. King, which is just a little bigger than a regular King, but it's a pain to find bedding for, so I recommend a regular King.
  • king. no question...if it fits, get it!!

  • If it fits and you can afford it, go for the king!  We have a queen, and yes it works, but we both would love a little more room (especially since I know have a body pillow taking up half my side!!).

  • Get the king.  We have a queen and wish we had more room, especially with the baby.  He slept in the bed with us for the first two months.

    Me too!

    Even before the baby, the cats made the queen too small.

  • We have a full. When we go to hotels, we always get a room with 1 king, and it's so big. We end up both sleeping on one half of the bed - not really snuggling, just close to each other. We are kind of small people, though. My BFF whose hubby is over 6' tall needs a king. She has nowhere to sleep in a queen.

  • We prefer a queen, but we're small and we like to snuggle and be close. I also prefer the way the queen looks better. Up until a year and a half ago we had a full, so a queen was a big upgrade for us. haha

  • If we had the room, we would totally have gotten a king. With the cats, it's always a little tight. Plus I like to sleep in the middle of the bed Embarrassed Having the extra room would be nice!
  • I went from a TWIN (yes, really) when I was single to the Queen E & I have, so I voted that Queen was sufficient.  But I want to change my vote.  E is a sprawler.  And a mover.  And a diagonal sleeper.  And he radiates heat.

    I'd kill for a King.

  • I got you beat L, I went from a TWIN at my parents house to a KING when we got married!  Jes is 6'7 so we so need a cali king, but his mom gave us her reg. king (she was getting a new one or something).  It has been great...I'm now a sprawl-er.  Embarrassed   One day we will upgrade.

    Holy... Yeah, 6'7" kinda makes it necessary.  E is under 6' by an inch or two. It was fun, though, when he stayed over my place before we moved in together.  He'd be squished against the wall so he didn't roll off, and I'd be hanging off the edge, gripping for dear life.

  • LOL. Rodgers and I declared Sept 9 our special holiday. Last year, we spent that night with some friends in San Antonio because we had our green card interview the following morning. They had us sleep in their son's room - 2 twin beds. I thought we could push them together if they were side-by-side, but they were L-ed so it didn't work. Anyway, I was still determined that we'd spend the night in the same bed on our special holiday. Even though I was 20-something weeks pregnant. And even though it was summer in SA, and they turned their a/c off at night. We endured it almost an hour before I gave up and moved to the other bed.

  • thanks, ladies. getting back in the new house tomorrow to do some measurements (the MLS listing is wrong for some of the rooms) and see which rooms need to be painted.

    when DH and i were first together, doing the LDR thing, we both slept in my twin bed at my parents whenever he came to visit. good grief, how did we EVER do that?! lol
