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, but I love a bigger bed when we are away, we just don’t have room.

my parents have always had a normal double bed and I’m pretty sure my grandparents did too DGM overweight

Slept in one for 20 years, it was fine. I have a super king now, I admit that it's better.
