to think standard double beds are too small?

[VegetablEsoup]

away with work.
standard double room.
bed is too short and too narrow. and that's for me alone.

how can 2 people comfortably sleep in one? every night? at the same time?

and don't get me started on the manky decorative bed throw and cushions

should be illegal to call it double. why not call it large single?

Yeo. My king size is too small for me and dh but my room is too small for a super king!

*yep that should be!

Yanbu. I have a Warren Evans superking with ridiculously thick mattress, very often to myself. God, I love my bed.

I've managed for the past 9 years, at times with the 2 kids as well 😀
We have just ordered a king size though and I'm super excited!

We had a standard double for years because that was what you did. We've had a super king size for about 10 years now and when we have to go into double I swear it's like coupling up in a single

Everything seems to get bigger though. Handbags, wineglasses. I could go on

at home we have a superking+separate duvets.
bliss.

Really? I'm in a standard double at the moment with 6 ft 2 DP. I'd prefer a king obviously but we can both stretch out comfortably enough in the double.

Before we lived together, I had a king size and DH had a double. I moved in with him and his crappy small double bed. We're both always complaining that each other has moved onto our respective sides of the bed.

The king size was perfect for just me and the cat

We're buying a super king and I can't wait! You're right a double is too small, especially since we both like to spread out.

Super king and seperate double duvets here too!!! I hate holiday bed roulette. Will it or won't it be a decent bed. I honestly rather stay home than in a place with a small or old bed.

I will forever have a superking. Just for me. FOREVA!

I actually went in and looked at it and blew it a kiss after i'd been away for 10 days. It's love.

I love my superking bed most of the time, the only time I hate it is when it need the duvet cover and sheets washed.

I couldn't settle for a double now.

When my DC need new beds we will upgrade them to King Size (biggish bedrooms) as I can see what the future holds!

Reckon they will be at home for sometime (secretly love it!)

I can't believe we lasted 1o years with a double!My sleeping vastly improved after buying a king a couple of years ago! we've since moved house and have a large bed room which could easily take a superking...trying to resist up grading!

I've only ever had a standard double and it's fine for me and dp (though not extra children). I'm not small, but I am a very neat sleeper - I tuck up at the side and don't move much. I also share a single with dd2 when we have guests, and have also slept across the bottom of a double with two kids in it.

Having a kingsize to myself sounds like the stuff of my wildest dreams. One day

I don't think hotel doubles are actually doubles. It sounds small! We have a double and my 6'2 dh and i fit fine in it with our 2yr old often in the middle!

We have a superking size bed and I hate hate hate sleeping in a double. I like my space.

We can't got a super king in, but got great advice from a friend when buying to get a king bed and a super king duvet. Saves at least some of the arguments and DH is a total duvet hog...

I have a kingsize bed just for me.

The idea of sleeping in a double bed with dh fills me with horror. He's a fidgety furnace.

Ive just got a normal double. Can sleep without touching Dh. Would prefer a bigger bed but bedroom is small.

Super king here with separate duvets too :) Hate anything smaller. And yes to holiday roulette. We love holiday homes in Germany and Austria as they are often large beds with single separate duvets.

A double will always feel small if you are used to a kingsize normally. DH and I have a regular double. I'm a fat cow and he's a giraffe. We sleep well in it (although need an extension for his feet and have a blanket box at the end of the bed!). We do plan to have a king size when we finish our future bedroom which is bigger.

This is a timely thread, we are just debating whether to get a king or super king after 20 years together in a double. Now too small as every night, a small child climbs in and one of us has to get out. We have another one on the way as well. We have the space for a super king but all my lovely duvet covers are king size and would have to replace them although do have a spare room to use them in. It feels wasteful.
Will a king size duvet fit on a super king bed? is a super king worth it? Advice much appreciated

yes to holiday in germany/austria/sweden, where double means 2 singles pushed together and separate duvets.

I'm sooo looking forward to my own half of the bed tomorrow night.

at least this one has a duvet and not sheets and blankets...silver lining and all that.
