Do any couples sleep in a ‘standard double’ at home.

On a UK holiday and the rather posh accommodation has twin rooms and a double bedroom. The bed is a standard double and I find it utterly impossible for two people to sleep in. Always rolling together or clinging to the edge. I’ve been sleeping on the floor all week which is far more comfortable. We have a super king sized bed at home so this may seem quite princessy but surely no one sleeps in a standard double at home?

We aren’t big people - both underweight - but my goodness the bed is hell.

We have a standard double. It's fine.
I don't think I've ever had a house big enough for king sized beds and all furniture to fit properly.

I do. DH is overweight too but we manage fine. Sometimes have my 3 yo in the middle too.

I couldn’t sleep in a standard double on my own even! Too small!!
