The Bed: Supersize It

crabtreestudio A lot of these beds are not custom numbers as much as the trick of an extra wide angle lens distorting them. I have a hard time sleeping in anything more then a queen - what do you do with all the extra space?

vivi only couple who are not intimate need this size a bed

jannie These megabeds seem pointlessly extravagant, and a bit odd. A couple would be so far apart, they'd need different area codes.

catrine36 Geez I disagree with the comments. I wish I had the room for such a bed, would be fabulous!

ivonnenyc Obviously, none of the previous posters have young children!! We go to bed as a couple and, inevitably, end up a troop by morning. I would love a beautiful, extra-wide custom bed!

heju75 this would make my life perfect

LORENA king size is fine for me , I still like to give my husband a hug under the sheets in the morning!!

annie_haz The bed in that final photo looks in need of additional support in the center, I wouldn't trust that one bit! Otherwise I'd be very happy in a custom bed, perfect for cuddles or solo dreaming.

happyexplorer I'd love a huge bed like this. You get good wiggle room and can be wild sleeper without having to worry about falling out of the bed ! Also, if you are a couple that let the cat or dog hop on the bed - even if you have a Newfie that sleeps sideways will leave you with space! I love beds like this because I work a lot on my bed, and there's nothing quite like having enough space.I'd love something like this with one of those desks on wheels that you can roll over your bed. It'd be fab if you had kids: they could sleep or nap on the bed while you're working.

Kathy Merrill I guess crabtreestudio lives alone and sleeps alone. My husband and I have three large dogs who love to curl up with us in our King-sized bed and more space would be great!

Pascale With an extra tall hubby a king sized bed is both a necessity and a luxury. (He still ends up with his feet hanging over the end of the bed!) A few years ago when we checked into the Hotel Monaco in San Francisco the receptionist at the front desk took one look at us and put us into one of their rooms that cater to basketball players - we were unaware that there was such a thing. Hubby was in absolute heaven with the super sized bed, extra high shower head and extra tall bathroom counter.

By the way, our four poster bed has adjustable support posts hidden under the middle of the bed. I suspect the same is true of most, if not all, king sized beds.

jeg700 700 I also have a huge king size bed which takes up all the room in our urban townhouse bedroom:) worth it, with just enough room all around it so I can make the bed with lovely soft cotton sheets and warm cuddly blankets...my husband is like a furnace and I can travel away from the heat in the night but still fall asleep in the cozy cuddle position:)

Laura Warburton I love the big size bed, a king is plenty generally, however a supersize would allow a great sunday morning all the kids snuggle fest. I prefer the supersize in the contemporary setting, the sleek clean lines lend to the feel.
thanks for the post.

lucca We agree. We have 2 huge Goldendoodles, one Labradoodle and one small "scruffy" dog that like to "sneak" in a Sunday afternoon nap with my husband. We would love a gigantic bed!

suz1023 i'd love a super size bed on a sleeping porch. good for all the grandkids and the cats and dogs. make it a hanging bed and it would be heavenly!

kateskouros we've always had a king. that's plenty big for me. i don't want to spend half the morning making the bed -although something tells me many of the people who actually have beds like these have people to make them for them.

marmarmish Lucca - fabulous photo - looks like heaven to me!
Suz1023 takes that one step better!
My first thoughts were other than Angie & Brad, and perhaps Hugh Hefner, who needs a bed that big? But Suz's idea as a napping spot for all has nailed it!

wandm Pushing two beds together doesn't appeal to me visually, but otherwise I like the look and idea of a nice big bed. We have a queen size and two dogs that share our bed every night; we'll definitely go for the CA King next time.

Christina Ebbers I would love to have a big ol' bed one day if I have a bedroom that suits it. Even with just me and my boyfriend and my cat, my queen sometimes feels a bit cramped. I just really like to be able to roll around and spread out so I think a King or California King would be great.

It's not that people with big beds don't like to cuddle. Cuddling is for falling asleep and waking up. All that sleeping in between would be nicer with more space! :)

Chrystine I have a king size bed and can't wait to downsize. For me the large bed is such a pain to make and so expensive to buy bedding for.

LORENA yes difficult to make but with a little help well worth it...i luv mine!!

yabbi Bet I can still hear my husband snore in a megabed, reason why he sleeps in the living room and I sleep in the king bed in the bedroom.

krnewsom We have an old California King that needs to be tossed and two extra double beds that are in great shape. Just today we decided to put them together in our master bed. It is HUGE but with our two dogs, a cat and a very tall husband (not to mention tall children who like watch TV with us) I think it might just work out!
