Question for couples. Double or King size?

[likeamillpond]

I moved in with my partner 6 months ago and everything is great except he has a double bed and I'm a restless sleeper and he gives off a ton of heat.
I've said we should get a king size as that's what most people have.
He seems to think it's not the bed and that I'm the one with a problem and that most people have double beds and get on alright with them.
I'd have a super king if it was me but the room wouldn't take it.
So AIBU for not wanting to spend every night squashed up in a double bed?
If you're a couple what do you have?

We have a superking, the only real irritation is changing the bedding!

Superking. But if it REALLY won't fit, then a King.

We have superking.

King size but super king duvet cover. Would have a super king bed if we had the space.

King size here and I’d be alright with an even bigger one tbh! We’re both fidgety sleepers

Super king. I couldn't go back!

Super king

I think a double is only sufficient for a single adult. We have a king, really we would prefer a super king but the room could not take it.

I do switch between sleeping in a king and a superking and I do sleep better in the superking, but I do like my space and my DP does like his space too.

We're king size here and a really good mattress no rolling into the middle doubles for the children

We have a double as don't have room for anything bigger. If I had the room I would super king size the bed for sure!

Super king.

If no room for that then a king at the very least. Doubles are just too tiny and we are pretty average sized (me 5’8”, him 5’10”, both normal range BMIs).

Superking if you can fit it in. Bigger the better

However try sleeping in a 4foot bed with a dp and a dog or baby and you will appreciate the space you do have!!!!

Most people DO NOT have double beds. I’ve got a king size but would like to upgrade for a super king.

Can’t do it at present as I’ve got a tempur mattress and that would be very expensive to replace and I wouldn’t be without a tempur ever again.

Even if you are “the problem”, it’s not exactly an unreasonable request to get a new bed so you’ll be more comfortable and well rested. Your boyfriend sounds like a dickhead.

Super king & seperate rooms although I do share with DS.

I don't like being touched when I'm sleeping & we have our own quilts!

King and I'd for super king if I could

Dog and baby together is a bit too much, but is doable if it is essential

Happily had a double for 8 years. Had a baby and was a serious squeeze with 3 of us. Got a super king.

I’m 6ft and my boyfriend says I sleep like a swastika so biggest bed possible is ideal for us.

Would sooner sleep in separate beds than agree to share a double.

Neither, if you have the room go Superking....

Do you think there will be an Emperor or Tsar or maybe Supreme Leader ??

I have a double all to myself except when dp stays. Then double feels small.

We've had a double our whole partnership. Both just under 6ft. Shared it for a number of years with a sprawling child. I'd love, love, love a king size, but the bedroom is too small.

DH and I spent a year in a single every weekend when we were first going out-now that was cosy!

I’d say the bigger the better, BUT is this an expensive purchase that he doesn’t want/hasn’t budgeted for at the moment-is that the problem, more than the bed size?

Super king now.
BUT
Think it’s too big (not for the room). It’s like we are literally in separate beds.
Think our precious King Size was the best.
