Cats expand as necessary to cover unfilled bed area (and shrink to fit empty boxes).
That’s a lot of people to kick out before morning.
Agree ophmarketing. Sounds like you’re without pets, yes?
I already hate making the bed. This would cause my brain to explode.
You just might want to keep three of four. Just say’n.
Why?
I mean, why bother?
Whut? Short straw gets kicked out?
That’s no straw!
It’s a valid point you have there, and one that I’ve entertained many times over the years. However, sometimes in life we find ourselves with partners that want things just so, and then we learn that it’s just easier to go with the flow rather than push against it. Know what I mean?
This. My wife and I do at home dog sitting. Once we had a pair of great danes, a beagle-bull dog mix, and an overweight pit mix sharing our queen size bed.
Something…something… sucking …something.
My wife and I were in London and some funky old hotel that had some really big ass mattresses that were bigger than a King, though not as wide as this Ace. Best sleep ever. I could just reach out and hold her hand but had plenty of room to roll around.
I never let the dogs share the bed. The cats were small enough not to take up much room.
Yup. I toss and turn in the process of a good night’s sleep. Dunno why, but I am told since I was born.
I need my space.
When I first moved to where I live now, some friends of mine were moving from the area to NYC, and had to downsize dramatically; I inherited their California King size bed, and it was an amazing piece of furniture, even though it took up half of my room. It’d fit three people and a dog easily; I could sleep horizontally on it, and I’m 6’1". I eventually downsized to a Queen myself – besides having to special-order sheets, I needed some room for furniture besides a massive bed. But I do kinda miss it.
When we switched to a king size bed, I no longer had to encounter a nightly accusation of “stealing all the blankets” so it was totally worth it, in my opinion.
A Cal King is 84 inches long. At 6’6", I am 78 inches long, giving 6 inches of “extra” - except it’s not, because without a headboard your pillows squirt out the end; if you have a headboard, you lose that space for pillows and end up with your feet hanging off the end. A 108 inch mattress sounds heavenly. As it is, I cheat and sleep semi-diagonally, stealing the bottom third of the wife’s side (hooray for a short spouse).
Cats. Nature’s true topologists.
If only those funky old London hotel mattresses could talk… for instance, about the many Elizabethan spies who got their heads bashed in while sleeping there, or about innkeepers who caught their bawdy wives with lusty troubadours in flagrante delicto… shish-kebobed clean through with nasty staves, or about…
… sorry. Happy dreams.
