Single/double beds

I don't think they'll assume you'll turn the house into a brothel just because you've got a bigger bed!

They should know how you behave, so if you let them know you'll be more comfortable in a double bed, they'll probably be OK with it.

Best of luck - I find it much more comfortable to have space to roll over, when I'm in a large bed on my own.

Thanks.I just hope I have the guts/chance to bring it up before they go out on a mattress buying expedition.

Well, you should really try out the bed/mattress before they buy (advice I've heard is to go when you're not too tired and spend several minutes checking it out).

It's you that's going to sleep on it, after all.

Yep, good point.I think the sales are on so its a good time to go.They cost a fortune!!

I'm with kitchenpete - I'd expect that someone by the age of 30 would want a bigger bed.

I don't know if this is available in the UK, but the Sheraton hotel chain has absolutely AMAZING beds, and you can buy one for your home.

Check out their website to see if they are available there.
I'm sure you could go to a local Sheraton and they would let you test one.
They are the most comfortable beds I have every slept in, and I'm planning on getting one for my husbands birthday later this month.

Thanks for the info, not heard of Sheraton tho.

I can remember getting a sofa bed a few years back.I felt so stupid trying it out.

Chai Tea-Whose the babe in your avatar?

Material Girl, you are 30 and still living at home with your parents? You are asking them if you can buy a double bed?

Why?

BBB

Nooooooooooooooo, Im not asking, Im gona tell them Im gona get one.
Im not asking permission,I just dont know how to say it without feeling ooky about it.

Yes I still live with my parents as Im sure alot of people my age still do.

Girl


Why would you feel "ooky" telling them you are going to buy a double bed?

BBB

Double bed, for 2 people.Theres only one of me.
I dont want them to think Im getting it for a certain reason.

I got a queen in high school and my parents didn't think anything of it. It's nice to spread out!

Besides, you're 30! They know you are having sex my dear.

Girl


Queen and King size are more likely for two people. It's been a long time since a double bed was considered only for two people.

Heck, my 4-year-old has a double bed. (She was supposed to use the comfy twin mattress set we got for her, but became fond of our old futon, still dunno why. Closer to the ground, firmer, bigger, something.)

Bella-If someones having sex with me I wish they would wake me up first so Id notice!!

zzblssszhgg? Huh? Wha?

I remember an american commedian saying he believed the british only used their accent when someone else, i.e. an american was around....

He said - I bet if you wake them up in the middle of the night, they'd sound like they were from brooklyn

That 'babe'? Oh, that's just me, I don't really smoke though.

Actually, that is Gloria Swanson.
Have you ever seen the movie Sunset Blvd?

She did it when she was probably 40 years older than in my avatar. She played an eccentric (read nuts) old actress, (Nora Desmond) from silent films, trying to make a comeback.
In it she said the immortal words...."I'm ready for my closeup Mr. DeMill."
while looking like she just had electro shock therapy.

My daugther got a queensize bed when she was 3 years old,
and she loves it. Especially kids roam around the bed a lot during the night, so the wider the better.

material girl, I hate to tell you, but very few women in their 30s live with their parents. Show some independence and
at least choose the bed you want to.

I don't know too many people outside of high school who try to squash two people into a double bed. Doubles and queens are for one person, or maybe one person and a small dog or two.

Call home, let your parents know that you're looking forward to going out looking for a new bed, and then when you're in the store, lay down on double and queen-size beds. I'd be surprised if they made any comment.

Tell them you need room for your out of control teddy bear collection.
