    Mrs. Bee and I have a Queen sized bed... I can't imagine going smaller, especially since she's getting big from the pregnancy!

    I think we'd both like to upgrade to a King sized bed, but for now we're ok with the Queen.

    How about you guys... anyone on a Twin or Fullsized bed?  If so, I bow down before you!  Smokey and Sparky the cat like to hop on the bed, so we literally could not survive on a smaller bed!

    Queen-sized bed. We've spent a few nights together in a twin bed... 2 6'3" people, one of whom rolls around like a champ (me)... not pretty.

    I sort of want to get a king, but whenever we sleep in my king bed at the big house or the cal king at the beach house it always feels like it's WAYYY too big.

    Queen and longing for a King.  As it is the cats sleep on my side and I end up all contorted.  Cannot imagine going smaller!

    We are still using a full sized bed.  It sucks because it's actually the bed in our guestroom and we are only using it still because I can't find the bed I want to purchase anywhere.  Once we get the bed, we'll FINALLY move up to a queen size.  We would go larger, the our master bedroom can't handle it in this house.  What size bed do you share with your SO? :  wedding AAAAAlbDUwYAAAAAAGXKkA

    Queen...I actually think its perfect cause i like to feel him next to me. We slept in a king sized bed in Vegas and it was too big, i felt like I was sleeping alone

    We have a queen!  I cannot stand sleeping in a smaller bed.  Somehow in college we could share a twin though?  I'm not sure what's changed since then!

    My FI insisted that we get a King size bed when we moved in together.  He grew up in a Queen size bed, so he wanted at least a queen size bed, but preferably bigger.  He's also 6'2, so it's hard for him to fit comfortably in smaller beds.  I slept in a twin size bed until we moved in together last year, and I still feel a bit lost in it since I'm not used to having so much space.  I always end up waking him up when i snuggle up closer to him. :)  I'm also worried that we may never find another nyc apt that fits our huge bed!

    I'm sure I'll love all the extra space after the wedding when we start trying for kids though. :)

    We had a full and now have a queen. Honestly...if we were on a twin or a king he would still sleep RIGHT next to me.

    we've got a queen. i'd like to upgrade to a king, probably a cal king because the dude is 6'4".  even with a bigger bed i'm pretty sure i wouldnt get any of the extra space. FH always snuggles up right next to me.  we did sleep in a dorm-sized single bed one night...

    King sized.  Given that I have restless leg syndrome and snore, even that isn't big enough for her some days.

    @2dBride- Yeah, I think he might appreciate a king-sized bed a lot of the time because I'm such an insomniac. And I sometimes talk in my sleep like a loon. :p

    We have a queen sized bed, and it's great. My mom likes to say that king-size beds are "bad for marriages" because there's just way too much space. I'm not quite sure if I agree with the bad for marriage part, but I know that I don't mind having to snuggle up!

    We had a full sized bed for over a year, but we finally gave in and got a Cal King.  I'm 5'10" and he's 6'3", so sleeping in a full was kind of silly.  The Cal King is soooooo nice!

    We're on a full size, and I mostly like it. We have just enough room that we can sleep comfortably, be not cuddling, but still be touching each other. I'm always cold at night, so I like the closeness! Although the extra 6 inches we'd get with a qeen probably wouldn't matter all that much. I guess I just don't want to have to build and stain another headboard and bedframe! Making the one to fit our full size bed was WAY to much work.

    Ugh, currently have a full, but DYING for a queen. I think we may treat ourselves after the wedding. I am too tall for a full - my feet are always hanging off the end. Sometimes my FI wacks me in the head by accident when he turns in his sleep.

    Yes...  bigger bed soon!

    We have a queen. We each had a full before we moved in together and it was ok but the queen is definitely better! We have slept in a Cal King before too and that was just awesome!!! :)

    We both have queen beds (we live apart) and it's perfect. We discussed getting a bigger bed when we move in together, but I don't want it. I love being close to him. A queen is close enough to roll over & cuddle, yet big enough that we aren't on top of each other.

    My ex had a California king size bed & we always lost each other! lol Queen size is where it's at :)

    We had a full when we first began and the husband, then FI, complained bitterly! We had a queen in California (with a heavenly mattress, how how I miss it) before moving to Italy where we're back to the full. The good news? It's so cold where we are that the husband doesn't mind the small bed!

    We just bought a queen! Thank goodness. Neither one of us is very tall, but the difference between this and our old full...it's great!

    We're in a queen - but I want a full or twin! I like being smushed together.

    Hell, we'd sleep in a sleeping bag built for one if it were up to me.

    We have a queen, but it feels like a twin. Our two dogs sleep with us too. One is 85 lbs, so it's like having a 3rd person in there, seriously. And our other little one is about 25 lbs. - he finds a spot wherever he can manage. LOL Some nights, they get a wild hair and decide to sleep in the floor or on the couch, and I don't know what to do with all that extra room! We need a king to accomodate our dogs - is that sweet or sad? hahaha Tongue out

    We are in a Queen which is more than fine until the 75 lb dog  joins us...he starts out on the floor ever night but manages to find his way into the bed before morning- we call him the Chaperone!

    We have a king. At first we would take advantage of the space and spread out, but lately we sleep all bunched up in the center, which seems sort of a waste! Nevertheless, my husband has the most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in. It is wonderful.

    Right now - whenever we get lucky enough to share a bed together we sleep in my twin. We'll be moving to a full next month but I'm a cover stealer and spaz out in my sleep - so I know he's ready for something bigger.

    My bed's right next to my bookshelf ... and he calls himself the "bookshelf boyfirend." It's cute.

    We have a full sized bed that we share with one (and sometimes both) of our cats. Our bedroom is very small so there isn't any room for a queen. Besides, we are snugglers so there's no sense in having a bigger bed anyway.

    I have a king, so when the kids are gone we get to share it, but most nights, I'm being swallowed by a giant bed, all alone.  :) 

    There have been a few nights when all 4 of us snuggled up to watch a movie.  i love those times!

    We've got a full right now but we want to move up, it's just not enough room with a dog and two cats who sneak in bed with us occasionally!  We were debating between king and queen until we actually slept in a king at a hotel and it was way too big for us!  So queen it is...we're trying to wait until closer to the wedding in the hopes that we will get gifted the queen linens rather than having to buy them ourselves.

    Full!  It's way too small for me, FI (who is 6'0, 220 lbs), and two cats.  Unfortunately, living in Manhattan, a full is about all that will fit in most bedrooms!

    Envious of all you Queen/King bed-owners!

    @honeybun, I know how you feel. We sleep in a full-sized bed with three 40lb dogs...no, I don't know how it works either! At least we can keep the heat turned down in the winter! Unfortunately, a queen-sized bed would leave us nearly no floorspace in our bedroom. Such a dilemma.

    We have a full and let me say for the record it is NOT big enough for two people and two cats!  On our minimoon, we had a king sized bed and it was insane.  I'd love to at least get a queen, but it's not in the budget for now.

    We have a king and at times that doesn't even feel big enough. During the night we usually are joined by the dog and our two cats, plus we're looking at getting another dog after the wedding. I have no idea how we're going to manage that. Just to clarify, the dog has a kennel, we make her sleep there, but she always sneaks up in the middle of the night.

    Queen, but sleeping with 2 dogs (one of which is a boxer mix who likes to sleep in between us with her legs straight out to the side), it might as well be a twin! I always tell him someday we're getting a California king!

    We have a Queen right now.  Once we get a new place we are going to get a King because I want another cat and our current cat is a bed pig!
