It has always seemed odd to me that king sized bed = 76x80.

Posted by Spawn Jul 13 '12, 13:03

Why didn't the just go on up to 80x80?
Putting sheets on is *so* annoying.
With 80x80 it would not matter plus you could quarter-turn your mattress!

and almost all come with twin box springs which make a noticible line down the middle -- nm - peglegpete Jul 13, 13:08 16
- We have custom split box springs for our queen-size. It's frigging invaluable for moving. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 13:18 10
  - We have a queen-size box spring for our queen-size. It's been moved twice with no hassle. - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:24 8
    - Plus a queen is an entire foot shorter than a king, so you have a little more action. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:29 2
      - I don't think that's something that can be judged purely from the bed dimensions. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:30 1
        
        also depends a lot on the layout of the house - znufrii Jul 13, 13:33
    - Any staircases? -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:26 4
      - well, the condo had an elevator - but the townhouse has two flights of stairs, so yes -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:29 2
        
        Has a lot to do with lay outs. In our condo, you came in the front door and immediately to the left was the stairway up. - Spawn Jul 13, 13:33 1
        
        yep ... space is not an issue at the townhouse. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:34
      - PIVOT! -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 13:26
  - *that's* why they do that! - Mel Profit Jul 13, 13:23
- That must be a crappy mattress. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:13 1
  - Or you are the fabled princess! -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:14
- actually two twin box springs would be 2" too wide - znufrii Jul 13, 13:10 2
  - and for that matter, if we did go with a box spring, we'd have to find a split queen in order to get it up the stairs. - znufrii Jul 13, 13:15 1
    - Heh, the condo we rented before buying the house, we nearly had to mangle the matress to get it up the stairs. - Spawn Jul 13, 13:17
King sized beds have always seemed odd to me. Maybe I just enjoy being in bed with my wife too much... - Jim Jul 13, 13:07 5
- The California King would probably be perfect for me. PPretty rare around here though. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 13:19 1
  - the problem with california king bed is they tend to be not much smaller than the california condo bedroom -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 13:24
- In HS, I fell out of a bed, a few times. Plus, when you are this tall, you need some diagonal space if you do not want to hang over. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:13
- I enjoy being in bed with my wife too, but I enjoy having some bed to be in bed with her with. - Stephen Jul 13, 13:09
- and for some reason they've always seemed wider than they are long. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 13:08
but seriously, why stop there? -- (link) - znufrii Jul 13, 13:05 2
- For all your orgy needs -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 13:11
- Heh. But seriously. 76 vs 80 is dumb. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:06
