When it comes to bed size, yes. And no. Ha! You thought this was about something else!
Anyone that knows me has heard me go on about the fact that I prefer a king size bed. And they also know I’m a smaller stature woman, I’m 5′ 1.5″ tall.
Here’s the thing. I grew up sleeping on a twin size mattress, it was just fine, I really don’t need that much room. Now, I could have used more with the amount of stuffed animals I slept with, there really wasn’t much room left for me.
In college, I had a twin, until my roommate left and I put the beds together and made a full, ah… My first apartment, I got a full size futon, it was nice, I could spread out and still be comfortable. Put someone else in with me, gets smaller.
The wasband was 6’3″, he used to sleep on that full size futon on a diagonal! I used to pile blankets and pillows at the foot of the be so his feet wouldn’t dangle!
When we bought our first house, the first thing we bought was a king sized bed, he continued to sleep on a diagonal, but he had the room to spread out. After we split, I didn’t downsize to a smaller bed, I like a king! Sometimes I even kept laundry on the other side of the bed for company!
When I travel, I want the king, I can sleep in a double and a queen, and I have and…I sleep in one spot on the edge of the bed, don’t care, want the king.
At home, PSM and I have a queen, by myself or when he’s by himself, a queen is enough, add a second person and Mollie, the bed shrinks and starts to feel like a full or even a twin!
This weekend, at my dad’s, I was in my childhood bed, a twin, minus the stuffed animals. I was perfectly happy in that bed, I fit just fine.
But now, I’m back on the road, in a hotel and…ahhhh…king size!
