subject: Double, Queen, or King - How to Choose the Best Bed for You [print this page] When choosing a new bed you have a couple factors that you must decide on before you head out shopping. Let these factors guide you in your choice of your new bed. Obviously the first factor is how many people will be actually sleeping in the bed. A twin or double bed is usually recommended for a single sleeper. A person of modest size can comfortably fit into a twin bed. A person taller or more robust in size might require a double bed. People that will be sleeping alongside another person, a queen or king size are the most common choice. Occasionally, a double bed will be used by a couple. The next factor in determining your new bed is how much space you require. A single sleeper may require a double bed because they like or need the extra room it provides. A couple liking a lot of space will most certainly go with a king sized bed although a queen in most cases provides more then ample room. Double beds for couples nowadays are rare. They were the norm until the late 1960s. The last factor you must consider is the size of your bedroom. A king sized bed might be nice but if it takes up 80% of your available bedroom space it is not worth it. You should measure your bedroom and attain the measurements of the different size beds you are considering to see if you have available room. Buying a new bed is not rocket science. You just have to consider a few key factors and youll be sleeping in your new bed in no time. For more information about all types of beds, including the double bed, please visit that link.
