King size bed-sooo much work - Page 3

I would love a king sized bed but we would have to jump from the doorway to the bed because there would be no floor space left for anything else!

@software Well, hanging sheets out to dry hasn't occurred to me in 50 years, so that's not an issue with me.

I can't see having anything but a king size bed. Having two German Shepherd dogs and us we still need more room. ha ha!

I purchase all of our bedding from QVC and find the prices to be better than what I have seen at the B&M stores for us.I like the deep pockets, the fact that the sheets come in sets and extra pillowcases are available most imes. The gurarantee brings me back every time.

That's why I have the king size now.

DH was a restless sleeper who also kept different hours than me.

Plus we had 2 labs.

Cost of sheets is never the problem, I usually buy a new set every year after the holidays at a deep discount. After Christmas sale.

Now everything is a chore.

I find I'm simplifying my life, one step at a time.

Even though we have an oversized bedroom, if it was just me I'd have a full size mattress. I like the coziness of a smaller mattress. I fall asleep many nights on our living room couch and wake up there in the morning.

We got a king size mattress after this move and I can't believe the difference it makes. After 28 years of a queen, I sleep better than ever. DH gets up several times during the night, and I don't even know it. It is fabulous.

We only have one set of sheets so far so we just wash/dry and put them back on. We have a stackable W/D and no problems with them or the mattress pad/cover fitting. We have a king quilt and I think it will fit fine too.

We change the sheets and make the bed with one of us on each side so that goes quickly. So far, I love it.

Yes it is a lot of work. They get all tangled up in a ball when you try to dry them. I dry my pillow cases with pillow protectors next dry the fitted sheet & finally the flat sheet.

I use the same sheets in the summer & wash & put back on the bed. Too much of a hassle trying to fold them. Same with my flannel sheets in the winter.

The bedding is more expensive but worth it IMO to sleep on a king size bed.

When we visit my sister we sleep on a queen or that's what she says it is. We have to get in bed & stay in that position all night because there is no room to turn over without falling out of the bed. That's hard for me to do since I turn from one side to the other all night long.

I can see buying 2 twin beds when we get older since I don't know that I will be able to handle king size when I get old? If we do that I can tell DH he can make his own bed. LOL!!!

I always wondered why some couples had 2 beds in the bedroom when I was younger now I know. I think it also has to do with snoring husbands plus medical issues. LOL!!!

If you think a king bed is a lot of trouble you should try making up a Sleep Number split king bed! But, yes, it is worth it. I could never go back to a smaller bed.

@froggy

LOL!!! We have a sleep # but not the split. I could not imagine having to climb all over the bed to put the sheets on it.

Must be a real pain in the rear. I don't know how you would get the separate fitted sheets on there.

I make my bed every morning & pull the fitted sheet tight & tuck back in. I want my bed nice & neat like it is after I wash it when I get in it to sleep every night.

I had to sleep in a queen size bed for 5 days on my last trip because all the king rooms were booked.

I'm sticking with my king and if I ever need a new bed, I will pay extra for them to haul it up the stairs.

@VaBelle35

If they don't have a king when we stop we get 2 beds in the room so we can both have our own bed. LOL!!!
