Is a double size bed big enough for a couple?

If neither of you is supersized and you like to sleep spooned together every night, a double bed is enough. But a queen size bed is usually much more comfortable for most couples. Remember that a queen size bed is more expensive AND it also requires queen size sheets, covers, blankets, and comforters, but one you have made those purchases, they will last for many years.

I thought double beds were being phased out since 2022 or at least they were around here last year, and nowadays all I see are King and Queen and Single bed options, and the larger sizes.
Nothing in between like a Double bed anymore which i miss, but then, those are the times 😞😬

What size bed would you prefer if you have a partner?

[asphaltrhymes]

Double bed 🛏️🤤💤

[Asker]

Is it because it's nice and close

[asphaltrhymes]

I just liked the size and the look of double beds. But I guess I'll just had to adapt someday to someday buying a King or a Queen or whatever is the future of bed sizes or present day of bed sizes available. Luckily I'm still enjoying my single bed. 🙏👍

Technically yes. But I'm not willingly downgrading my king bed unless there's no other option!

[Lliam]

Not for me. My wife and I have a king. That way we can have lots of room for sex. But when it's bedtime, we have space to ourselves. I don't like to be confined when I sleep and being touched makes me uncomfortable and makes it hard to sleep. I do like sleeping in the same bed. We can cuddle if we want to.

Eh. Get a Queen at the smallest. If you want to go big, get a California King - the largest size commercially available (unless you get a custom bed frame made)

[RobT312]

Too tight…queen minimum!

[nolabels]

No way.

The same floor and the same side of the house are too close together.

[spartan55]

Only if you are a tiny couple

[SnowedIn]

Not even close.

Minimum is a queen size bed.

Why wouldn't it be?

[slatyb]

No. It's not really double-size. A queen-size bed is as wide as two twin beds.

[Asker]

A Double and a queen size are 2 different beds

[slatyb]

Yes, that's correct, and a queen is as wide as two twin beds. A "double" is about 1-1/2 times as wide as a twin bed.

Should be 🤔

A queen size bed is better. A double only works if the couple enjoys touching each other while sleeping... most want at least some space.

[HighValue]

It depends on your height. I am 6' 1/2" tall and a double bed is too small for me by myself because my feet hang off the end so I would have to sleep diagonally.

[goaded]

Isn't that the definition of a double bed?

[Fireguy17]

it really depends on the physical size of the couple.
Larger people may want a queen bed, or if you need a bit more space a queen is better.

[exitseven]

when we first got married a twin bed would have been enough. Now we have a king size bed. It is just right.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, it is more than big enough.

[honestanswersonly_]

No not really. A double is more like meant for 1 person comfortably

[kellytheman]

For me no it has to be at least a queen. A double or a twin bed is really only met for one person.

[Mangospacho]

Sure, if you’re like 100 pounds each. If you’re taller than 5’7, it’s not gonna work.

[In_Trance]

How big is the couple?

[CubaPirate]

I prefer a king size

[Anonymous]

It will work in a bind.
