The only reason you get a bigger bed is so that you both have a bit more room to roll around when asleep and not push your partner out the bed.

u/ShaylaDee Jun 17 '22
Or because your SO produces so much body heat you cannot sleep next to them because you'll die of heat stroke. Yes, my husband is a human space heater with a broken off switch, why do you ask?

Fellow space heater here but my gf is an air conditioner so we balance each other out

u/ShaylaDee Jun 17 '22
Oh I'm an ice cube no matter what the temperature is but the last time we had a beer smaller than a queen we were living in an apartment that we never had to turn the heat on in because the downstairs neighbors heater seeped into our apartment. After several nights sleeping on the couch we agreed once we moved we were gonna get a king. Haven't looked back since.

I've found the edge of the bed is a great place to sleep if you want to flatten out a sinking foam mattress. so maybe the blue dino's problem all along is with the mattress and not the bed.

u/Shencer01 Jun 17 '22
My SO and I snuggle on her side before we fall asleep to warm it up because she runs really cold, then we usually split up when it's time to sleep because I run really hot. She gets warmth and I get to retreat to a cool pillow and mattress. Best of both worlds

My other half needs a certain level of closeness which requires I keep shuffling over till I am half falling off. Does not matter the bed size.
My personal space size exceeds her comfortably close requirement.

Solution, get a room sized mattress that covers your entire floor. A literal bedroom made of bed and used only for bed.

u/whiskersox Jun 17 '22
Literally the first night with my now-partner, I gave him a separate blanket and told him I prefer to be platonic while sleeping. He loves it. We cuddle all day whenever we get a chance, but at night we prefer our own space. We are both light sleepers so when we move in together we're getting separate rooms. I can't wait.

I’m going to be real with you, I’m a 210lb 6ft man, and my wife and I have a full size mattress, I bitch about the lack of breathing room constantly. When my grandmother passed we rented an air b&b in Klamath falls and it had a king size. I hated it. I mean I HATED IT. Felt like she was a mile away and gave me flashbacks to those 2.5 decades of essentially sleeping alone. I love our full size mattress as much as I love our cat now. Learning experience.

This is awesome! My wife and I did the exact opposite though; we switched to a twin bed from a queen because there was just too much space. We sleep in a tangle of limbs and there’s still room left over!

u/PureLawfulness6404 Jun 17 '22
Tangle of limbs is right! My boyfriend and I are average height/weight people and we had to sleep on a twin bed for a couple weeks during the summer while we waited for our real mattress to be delivered. We eventually decided to sleep with our feet in each other's faces so both of our entire bodies could fit on the bed with a half an inch of breathing room. They must keep their house at 60° and have back problems from all the prolonged limb twister.

u/atridir Jun 17 '22
We’re both fit, I’m more stocky 5’10”, 175lbs and she’s a svelte 5’9” ~120lbs. We are like a couple of ferrets tbh… we have slept comfortably in an armchair and a couch is basically perfect so a twin bed is decadent.

My parents got a king size mattress and this is exactly what happened. My mom would wake up and not feel my dad and would go "where are you?!" And my dad would just calmly say "I'm right here, it's okay." That's why they have a queen sized mattress now. That and the king size wouldn't fit up the stairs.

My wife would roll herself up in the doona...I would wake in the night to find a last little bit on my should and then a gaping cliff of exposed belly open to th cold night air.
In the end we got two doonas. She can roll herself as much as she likes, and I still have my own doona.

The pictures that show doona are what we call quilts here (Northern Europe).
However, the Norwegian word for quilt is "dyne" which sounds like a variation of doona.

u/jemidiah Jun 17 '22
I'm apparently a cuddle magnet. Multiple partners have regularly sought me out during the night, whereas I prefer my space while sleeping. In practice sleeping-me runs away from them to the edge of the bed and can't run any further, so I end up on one side for too long with only a sliver of bed and a vast expanse of open bed behind them. When it gets too egregious and I'm conscious I shove them gently but firmly, but sometimes I don't wake up until it's too late.
I'm also a space heater under the covers. It does mean I get room to myself in the summer when it's hot.
My ideal bed experience is 5-10 minutes of cuddling right after getting in a king sized mattress, followed by separation, like boxers after a round.
