I have a full, but when I move in with Ian we have every intention of upgrading to a queen with all the trimmings


My bed now is big enough for me (none of the cats sleep with me...I don't know why) but it's otherwise not so great, but I knew I'd only have it for a few years. It's just an IKEA frame with their middle-of-the-road mattress and an egg crate.

I have a full. So with DH, the boys, and myself I haven't gotten a good night sleep in over a year. I want a bigger bed, but it's low on the list of things to buy.

We have a King size also.
My kits don't sleep with us, so we have plenty of room.
My DD has a Queen,my DS has a Queen and then the other 2 DSs have twins.Plus, we have 2 extra twin beds for company.

Just a double here. Seemed big enough until I got cats! Next one will be king size (we don't have queen size over here - at least I've never seen or heard of them - how big are those?)

Mine is only a double, but its just me and Trout so we're okay
With a spouse, I think I would at least need a queen.

I got a double here and its decent for me and b/f. Kricket use to sleep with me by my head but b/f is allergic to cats so he can not sleep with her near his head. She will once in a while creap up and sleep right above my head on the pillow but i'm hoping a queen, possible king size bed is in the near future for us....hes got plenty of room just hope we will keep the lease on the place.

We have a California King, and a relatively new (couple years ago) pillowtop mattress...I hear you about being 4 feet up off the ground!
I have a small table next to the bed that serves mainly to assist kitties to get up on the bed

Queen size beds are 60" wide, and full are 54" wide, so the difference is only six inches.

p.s. I didn't know that California king mattresses aren't as wide as regular king!

Eastern (Standard) King Size Mattress: 76-inches wide x 80-inches long.
Western (California) King Size Mattress: 72-inches wide x 84-inches long.

Movin' on up!
For years, I've had queens and they have been more than adequate for me and three cats. Even when I was married, the queen worked.

The only time, that I had an issue, was when I was involved with a man who was 6' 8" - when he stayed over, we REALLY had to cuddle
Think I'd better stick to average-height men, from now on

We have a king, and its perfect for me, John & the kitties. I'd never go to anything smaller. We are fortunate enough that we have enough room for the king, and plenty of room for our other bedroom furniature!

We have a double bed and it's way too small for us. We're not investing into anything until after the deployment, though...and we'll be getting a king at that point. Erik's 6'5" and I'm 5'9" - we need our room!

We had a double(full) before we moved into our new house in July this year. 2 german shepherds, 1 chinese crested, 2 adults and 2 cats is very tight in a double.

Now we have a king bed. its really high off the ground and the GSDs dont even try to get up there anymore and calista, the chinese crested has relented to sleeping on the recliner. Both cats still sleep with us though. Its a bit more roomy

I have a queen size water bed and it's big enough. There is just me and my 2 cats and one of my cats likes to sleep pasted up against me or on me, so there is usually 1/2 of a bed left available... unless Chynna decides to occupy the pillow next to me. I often wake up and find myself diagonally across the bed through.

I love my water bed, but I would like to get a regular queen size bed because I would like the option of being able to move my furniture around.

We have a full size bed. I would love to get a queen or king size since I'm such a bed hog, but we have always had rather small bedrooms and not sure if I want to go any larger.

Darn it .. I should have kept both sets of drawers
... I inherted my Moms Select comfort designed for a waterbed frame ... It is a queen but with a large yorkie( 13lbs) and a cat and me you would think it was a twin bed ....
