To get a fucking huge bed?

[dontletthemugglesgetyoudownn]

I'm about to move to icu and I've been told I'll be doing night permanently for 4 months, 4 nights at once mom-Thursday. That's fine with me it's a bit more money, but we've just moved into a new house and we've got the worst bed ever. It's an 'occasional double' so bloody tiny. I hate it. We stayed in my in-laws spare room recently and it was heavenly. A king size bed from John Ryan by design which honestly felt like sleeping on a cloud.

So coming back to now. I've measured up and it would be doable to put a superking size zip and link bed in our room, but I'd have to lose my bedside table. I'm thinking of saying it could be our Christmas present to each other a night where we don't wake each other up and kick each other repeatedly!

Would you if you could? It would be amazing but Will I miss my table? It has no drawers so I'm not losing storage, it has an Alexa, a lamp and a cup on it 99% of the time and my neom well-being pod. I do have a very low and deep window sill near by too though so maybe I could just put it all there?

I’m so jealous. I’m desperate to change our king to a super king but dh keeps saying the floorboards won’t take the weight. I think he’s just being tight.
Do you think I could just order it & get it set up &
He wouldn’t notice?? I

The bigger the better as far as I am concerned.
Me and DH have always squished into a double bed. We have just downsized and have less bedrooms than we used to have. We are currently waiting for planning permission for an extension to add another bedroom - in the meantime we have more beds than rooms.
So, in our bedroom we now have our old double and a single pushed up together. We now have the bed space of my dreams. No matter how hard he tries my DH cannot invade my space. It is sleeping heaven. I have no idea what size bed a double and a single pushed together is but I'm going to be buying one.

When we moved in our new house, the first thing on the list was a super king size bed, we'd been used to a double. It is without doubt the best purchase I've ever made it's big enough for both me & OH and 3 year DD when she wakes up in the night. Do it, you won't regret it

I get really bad, frequent migraine and I was close to putting a pillow over DHs face due to his snoring. I bought a super king mahogany sleigh bed off eBay for £300 and bought 2 single Ikea Euro mattresses to fit, which are very comfortable. it's in the spare room for me to hide out in with the cats when my head hurts. I love it.

I used to have a superking, but moved and it filled the room. Plus, the novelty wore out after changing the bedding a few times.

A standard 135 cm bed is no wider than two cribs. Though it may be tempting as a space saver, twin bunk beds are no good for a couple who enjoys intimacy.

Best thing we did was go from double to superking. So much more space!

@salsmum

The two things in life that should be good, a bed and a pair of shoes because if you're not in one you're in the other.

So true^

Absolutely separate duvets. Incredible. You can both fit under one when you want!

I love my SKB, I also love the fact that my DH sleeps in another room in a KSB ... the perfect solution .

We have just got 2 coverless single duvets on our superking. Life changing! Just thrown the whole duvet in the washing machine. Never have to change a duvet cover again.

@TuftyMarmoset

What puts me off is the struggle to put on a duvet cover any bigger than a double!

Follow other advice above : if vertically challenged and you have stair banister you can shake over the stair void for extra height.

I ordered it!!! And a base and a headboard!!!

@CatonMat and a shelf 😂😂

We have a super king and I have no idea how we cooed for so long in a regular double. We recently dtaye innone at my parents and barely slept.
The only downside is we have a sighthound who just seems to stretch to fill the space so I still get kicked regularly when she is in with us.

Only have a double - but it is just me, although it would get around the problem that the cat always wants to be in the centre of the bed, so I have to squidge around her.

Don't try weighted blankets then - brilliant to sleep with, hell on earth to change the cover.

Careful what you wish for. I have one. Have had it for years. Difficult to change without help, and new bedding of all sorts costs a fortune. You need super king pillows and cases, too.

@Duckrace I manage to change mine in my own. I also just kept normal pillows, yes there is space around them but who sees my bed apart from me and my husband?

Relatives have a super king in their spare room, it's an absolute joy staying with them purely because we have enough space in bed! Sadly a super king wouldn't fit in any of our bedrooms...

I didn't even know super king pillows existed! saying that, I've just bought a Relyon pillow after recommended on Mumsnet and OMG - it's fantastic. So good when my migraine is really bad, and no ear pain

One spend I have never, ever regretted is our king size bed. I would go ahead and get it.

I treat myself after having an illness to a superking size bed, it was without a doubt the best thing I've bought. I love it soooo much!

You can get cheap bedding, I've just bought some cooling bedding from Asda for £24 M&S in the sale, la redoute always has offers, TK maxx, dunelm... it's nowhere as expensive as it used to be Changing it is ok, I do it by myself

We have a super king. It’s heaven. I’d never go smaller again.
