Their x-large looks impossible for two people to comfortably fit, even in their advertising. Also how wide are the bolsters along the edges? How would a 5'9" person even be able to sleep in the standard? My knees would kill if I had to suspend my legs by my feet in order to lay on my back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, sadly these look like they're for average height women at most. As a 6' man, I'm disappointed.

Trying getting out of that in your 50s with arthritis setting in. Oof.

You want this

But you can upgrade to this

Why do you need to ruin my night like this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Can I take it back 😬

Think of happy turtles

Damn i had that sandbox, core memory playing with Pohatu

Put the cushioned edges on a hinge so you can push them out of the way like a door-pillow

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please explain how you picture that would work. How would you be able to push them while that not happening as you tried to lay down on them?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

As a tall person, they would never make this in my size

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I concur. My current bed is 15cm longer than standard because otherwise my feet end up hanging over the edge

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That happens to me too. In my daughter's bed. She's six. And really it's only if I really lay flat. It barely happens. One of the rare wins for below average height!

In my student flat where I have a regular sized bed I have started to sleep diagonally just so I fit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Other tall people would, if it was really that big of a problem

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Tell me you're not tall without telling me you're not tall.

I was going to post this but you are smarter and more clever. Doggy doggy... What now?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I bet it would get really hot if you live in the south, AC can only do so much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I also have always wanted to sleep in a huge dog bed but, unfortunately

Summer

I'm already suffering the tyranny of sweating all my liquids out twice a night, this would add a whole extra dimension of heat (pun not intended)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

OK so what we have here is a winter dog bed summer hammock situation.

If you’re not doing it already, use fans to move the air around your room. The moving air will help remove heat from your body, effectively making you feel cooler. This is done through what’s called convection.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

... Did you actually recommend fans to people who get hot like it's a secret? Is this some old British TV sketch about sheep growing fucking wool or vegetables coming right out the fucking ground lol?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Another reply acting like this is a dumb thing to remind people. Maybe I'm dumb too.

But we used to have a fan that blew air across the bed. Husband loved it, I hated the feeling of air moving across me and would be buried under blankets to avoid it.

After a medical procedure he was sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks while he healed.

I adjusted the fan and ceiling fan so they move air around the whole room, just not directly across the bed. I can sleep without barriers for air tickles, we get the white noise benefit, and the room feela cooler. It works for him too this way when he's in there and keeps him cool enough (I've asked)

Before that I had just assumed you had to be directly in front of a fan to get the benefits, especially when it's too hot outside for the AC to work effectively.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I pretty much exclusively sleep with one of my feet sticking out uncovered over the edge of the mattress. Without the warm foot/chilly foot combo, I'd just feel uncomfortable in this bed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

That is a bold lifestyle choice to announce to the world

What I'm hearing is everyone here would be immediately happier if they could afford to sew together a few body pillows. If only there was a simple solution to this dilemma...

Why stop there? I hear they’ll give you an entire padded room if you ask correctly.
