What size bed do you have?

Ive noticed a lot of guys(bio) have twins or futons.

Age range teen to young adult/college student.

For the longest time I had a queensize mattress, but it took up too much space and it was a bugger to clean when my dog shed, so recently I switched to a twinsize (give or take) couchbed thing (it doesn't fold out, just flattens). It's easier to maintain and takes up half the space of my old bed - in a word, practical.

And I'm eighteen, so, yeah :3

Queen,
I lie in the middle and move around all night, unconsciously. And about six pillows and a bolster,

Hate small beds even though I'm small

Same. Except I have to share it with a 6'4", 189 lb unmoving mass. I usually just push and nest in all of my pillows. Hahaha

I don't want to derail the thread or anything, but I think this is a good a place as any to ask, especially in light of the last two posts - what is up with women and pillow hoarding? xD I've never been able to get a straight answer.

King  ;D

And two women in it! - the number of pillows involved would simply blow any man's mind! I even have a special body pillow which I can wrap my legs around to stop my hips aching.

I have one of those too, you just can't argue with these achy nearly 21 year old bones. They are something awful.  :P

Psh, even my dog tries to steal the pillows sometimes. Fortunately, unlike a girlfriend, I can pull what I need out from under her head. ;D The blanket tends to be trickier...

Seems I'm really pretty normal here. Before attempting to move I had a twin -- the frame's currently in the closet. Now I have my futonbed (full-size). Not sure as other people would see it as an upgrade, but I love it: more room and very comfortable in my opinion (granted it has an egg crate under the mattress).

I think that really is a girl thing. Being ?? fortunate enough ?? to have slightly broader hips than many transitioners I can fully appreciate ::) the extra strain caused when lying on one side.

Yeah. It's really a... blessing. When my sister got pregnant they had to upgrade to a bigger bed because she moved around so much at night. She couldn't lay on her sides because her bones were softer during the pregnancy. :/

I have a large bed, I don't know the correct word for its size. However, I've managed to convert this two-person bed into a 3/4-person bed by simply stocking books up there. I really should clean it out, you know, but it's easier to lug stuff up there than to carry it down from it. It's a loft bed. I'm always embarrassed by it yet I have trouble removing the books.

Standard double bed. Luckily my wife is tiny, so I get plenty of room unless our enormous ginger cat insists on sleeping next to me. Basic law of physics: Cats expand to fit the area available.

I have a normal sized futon, but not the sofa kind... it's the actual traditional futon that you can roll up for storage when not using.
I've found myself unable to sleep in a mattress with base or without base, I just can sleep pacefully if I have my futon right in the floor. Even in the damp winter. I guess I'm more of a traditional man...b'cause I'm the same with the pillows too.

You don't have my option up there. I have no bed. No futon either. I sleep on a camp cot or on the floor in a nest of blankets which I just throw on a chair when I get up.

Anyway!
I sleep on a queen sized bed with hubby.

I have a full but I could sleep on a twin its just what I happened to get at the mattress store. I used to have a futon and I liked that better.
Call me a cheat but I make my own fate.

I have a queen.  ;D My parents got it for me when I moved into my apartment.  And I somehow take up the whole bed to myself, which means I'll have to get at least two queens to push together if I was ever with someone.

My dog also somehow takes up most of the bed at times so I find myself sleeping in small parts or in awkward positions to accommodate the 16 lb mutt.
