I am trying to decide which size of bed to buy for my new apt. - double/full, queen or king - I would like it to last me for around ten years, so I am wanting to make sure I make the right choice to last that long and don't have to re-buy within the next few years (cost is a factor though, as I am a full time student, so on the other hand I don't want to go nuts and pay for more space than I really need). I share the bed with four cats, and while I don't share it with a human on a regular basis at this point, I'm hoping it's not outside the realm of possibility that I will within the next ten years, so I'd like it to be suitable for two people and four cats. So, how big is your bed, and do you share it with an SO or pets? Do you feel you have enough space with the size you have, or are you cramped (or alternately, do you feel you have more space than is really necessary?). Other thoughts? Thanks!

How big is your bed?

I have a twin bed and it's not big enough for me and the two cats!!
I have a queen sized bed which I share with my boyfriend and the cats occasionally. A king size would be nice but a queen is just enough room. But the cats rarely come on the bed and we only have 3 and they are kittens. I'd say go with the king size.
My bed is a full. It's a hand-me-down from my brother when I got my first apartment. It does fit both Waffle and I, and it even fits Brendan when he stays on a rare occassion, but if you're going to have it for 10 years I would probably go with a queen. The full doesn't give enough room if there's two people who both like to sprawl out. It's a fine size for people who don't move around too much at night. Just my opinion though.

That is what I have had up until now, as my current bedroom is a glorified closet
Queen size here!
IF I had the room I'd have a king, but our "master" (I use the term loosely
) bedroom is only 12x13'. So, we have a Queen which is a good compromise, 6" wider and 6" longer than a full so that you (and the cats
) have room at the foot of the bed. The king is an additional 6" wider on top of that but that is a LOT of extra room if you've got the space for it.
California King sized motionless waterbed here. I couldn't have a bed where I couldn't fit 4 dogs on.
I have a queen size bed. Usually it's just me but once or twice a week my boyf stays over. It's plenty big for us both.
Queen sized and it's not big enough for 2 adults and 4 cats, let alone the 6 who'd like to be on it.
We have a queen and sometimes I wonder if we should have a king. But I don't think a king will help any. Everybody (Hubby and cats) sleep on my side. There's a quarter of the bed on the other side empty. I figure a king will have half of the bed on the other side empty. I am the center of the bed's universe for some reason.
We have a king, but we could use a bigger one. It's usually me and hubby hugging the edge of the bed, while the three kitties are spread out in the middle. We just got a new pillow-topped mattress, and they just can't get enough of it.
I have a queen, but I oh-so desperately need a 'California King'. Or so I think it's called, that gigantic oversized king sized bed?
Between me and the cats, a queen sized bed just ain't cuttin' it.
My next bed is gonna be a big ol King.

I have a Queen and It is just about right for Me and Rufus and Lukey.
I have a queen-sized bed....perfect for sleeping two cats who THINK they are queens!
I think you're pretty safe with a queen.
BUT.....If I was sharing the bed with four cats AND a husband/boyfriend, I would probably opt for a king.
I guess I'm not much help! LOL.
Maybe you could just buy a futon (if you like them) queen size, and then by the time you're ready to buy a nice quality king size and have a boyfriend/husband, you can splurge on a nice king?
I love my futon. I would marry it if I could.....

Queen size. It sleeps the two of us, plus as many of the cats as want to be there. We don't usually have all three of them, but we certainly have had, with no difficulty.
