Title: Bed sharing 'bad for your health'

We have separate beds. Have done for about 5 years now. We both sleep much better for it.

I particularly liked this bit of the report

Before the Victorian era it was not uncommon for married couples to sleep apart. In ancient Rome, the marital bed was a place for sexual congress but not for sleeping.

So what's your preference?


(With apologies to those who do not have someone with whom they are able to share a bed at the moment)

Separate rooms without a doubt.

She snores like Concorde.

Apology accepted.

I like sleeping alone, no being pushed to the edge, no losing the duvet in the night, no snoring and it's cooler, what  with less body heat being generated, and more room.

I doubt that even my silver tongue would persuade her to have separate rooms. It took me years to get twin beds.

Funny that Mrs DS#3 should snore. Mrs S#2 does too whilst, like you, I do not  angel1

P.S Why is a Queen sized bed bigger than a King sized bed - surely that is the wrong way round  rubschin:

UK Sizes as generally accepted
2ft 6in Child's bed
3ft Single
4ft Small Double
4ft 6in = Double
5 ft = Queen Sized
5ft 6in = King Sized
6ft + Emperor Sized

US sizes
Quote
Twin / Single   39"   75"   39" x 75"   Small, so easy to fit in. Often used for guest rooms.
Twin Extra Long   39"   80"   39" x 80"   Bed linen can be hard to find
Full / Double   54"   75"   27" x 75"   Barely wide enough for two adults
Queen   60"   80"   30" x 80"   The Queen size bed is the most popular choice for two adults, but is still too small for some
King   76"   80"   38" x 80"   The King size bed is a good buying option for those who find the Queen too small
California King   72"   84"   36" x 84"   The California King is narrower but longer than a standard King size bed

Because a double or a king size will fit the Queen sized bed as that is in between the two sizes?

But actually it depends on where you shop.

Mrs JOM and I share the same bed. I wouldn't have it any other way. If she's not there I find it difficult to sleep, and same if I get called out, she can't sleep
