It’s sad but true. Adam and I both sometimes like to sleep on our stomach with a knee cocked out from our body, which we cannot both do in a queen size bed, not unless we want to bang knees painfully…but in a KING size bed, anything is possible! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cuddle, but when it’s time to sleep, I want to believe I’m in that bed alone*…which is only possible in a king sized bed.
*Unless of course I have a nightmare, and then I don’t want to be alone anymore…I know, I know, you can’t have it both ways…except you CAN when you have a KING sized bed. Can anyone guess what I want for Christmas?

SO TRUE! With a few minor changes, this is exactly how I feel. My wife tends to sleep on her side in a giant V shape. Which means her ass tends to be on my side of the bed (as well as her teddy bears – why a 32 year old mother of two needs to sleep with teddy bears, I have no idea). I sleep on my stomach (so as not to snore so loud the neighbors wake up) with my knee out hugging my pillow. Sometimes I’d kill for a King size bed. Sometimes I’d kill to have a couch comfortable enough to sleep on.

That makes me feel a little better – to not be alone in my non-romantic and way too practical desires. We do have a comfortable couch, which I’ve used occasionally, but Adam gets upset when I don’t sleep in the bedroom, so I rarely go there.

You are SO not alone on this. We’ve always had a king size bed for that very reason: I don’t like to be touched when I’m sleeping. I just don’t.
