A bed fit for a king? No thanks.
Over the weekend, my wife and I stayed at a nice hotel which due to overbooking, bumped us up to a suite at no charge. The extra space was nice and the room included a microwave and refrigerator which is always a perk. It also had a king size bed. The thing was so huge, I felt like we were sleeping in separate beds and I swear I had to shout across the room just to say good night.
There must be something about a bed of this size that people enjoy, but other than having an extra two feet of storage underneath I certainly don’t understand the appeal. Anyone care to enlighten me?

There’s room for the dogs, the cats, AND the kids!! And you can still get a good night’s sleep…. sorta!

But what if you were smart enough not to have pets or kids?

Some people like to sleep diagonally in the bed. Kings are really nice for fitting two such people in the same bed.

I am 6′2″ and need to sleep on my side with my legs spread like a scissors – it eases my knee and back pain. I take up half the bed. In a queen, I take up more than half. We need a king.

dlb, that makes sense. Making room for the dog doesn’t.

Dog sleeps on the floor. Wife likes to have extra pillows to create a baffle for the snoring noise.

Very simple: Ménage à trois. Or more.
