Shouldn't a grown adult male have a bed that is larger than twin size?

If you live alone, there is no reason to have a bigger bed, unless you want one.

OP are you spying on me?

No one should have a twin size bed. If you are going for a small bed you get a full, it's already small enough, a twin is a joke.

A regular-sized bed does the job just fine when it comes to the biological function of sleep. I don't see what one's sex has to do anything with the size of one's bed.

Double bed. Enough to stay the night, enough reason to leave in the morning.

I had a twin bed for most of my adult life. He ex-BF was perfectly happy to cuddle up right next to me. I know have a full size be. That's as big as I'm willing to go.

Do you actually know someone who has a twin bed, OP, or what is it that set you off on this rant?

Someone is really pissy butt over a twin bed.

Fuck, I knew Datalounge was spying on me!

[quote] Stop blaming the size of your apartment on your inability to grown the fuck up.

What do you blame for your inability to master verb tenses, OP?

What's wrong with twin beds?

I bought a twin bed after the bedbugs left. Just in case they came back. Cheaper than a queen.

Nothing is cheaper DL queen R12.... heh heh.....

Twin is just practical, if you move residences as often as I do.

Yes, a twin bed is the perfect size for my snack purse.

I'm 6'5 and I have a twin bed. It's bad.

How unstable do you have to be to be triggered by the size of someone else's bed? Talk about someone who needs to grow up.

[quote]Do you actually know someone who has a twin bed, OP, or what is it that set you off on this rant?

Today was the second time in two weeks that I had a Scruff hook up with a twin bed. Fucking broke ass hipsters.

[quote]What do you blame for your inability to master verb tenses, OP?

Stop trying so hard. It's not cute.

R16 Present penis or it didn't happen.

He did not want you to spend the night, OP. Get over it. Some people have intimacy issues and a twin bed is a conscious or subconscious way of setting boundaries.

Why on earth would you care what size bed someone has?

I have a twin bed and it's perfect. Buying anything bigger would be like buying a pickup when you're not a rancher/construction worker.

[quote]He did not want you to spend the night, OP.

Who the fuck wants to spend the night. I just want a decent fuck surface that's not the floor.

[quote]Why on earth would you care what size bed someone has?

Because after college you should have a bed bigger than a twin.

As I said above, I bought a twin after a bedbug infestation. I can't wait 'til it's been longer than a year so I can buy a full bed.

R23 An who appointer you the ruler of what size bed someone else has. Also, who fucks on a bed anymore?

I have a solution. Bring a queen sized airbed to his house. They come with pumps and their very own storage bags and you can deflate it and pack it with you as you leave. Be aware they make a very loud vacuum sound when you are pumping them full of air.

Sorry drunk typing..... It should be [R23] And who appointed you the ruler of what size bed someone else has. Also, who fucks on a bed anymore?

[quote]who fucks on a bed anymore?

I do. You swing from a chandelier?

At times I wish I had a twin bed. The bedding would be cheaper.

1st world problems.

R28 Usually on a couch, ottoman, rug, table, chair, bathtub, etc... I can't think of the last time I did it on a bed.

What's a twin bed? Is it something that looks like something else?

Definitely one of the stupidest threads in a long time. The day I care about someone else's bed will be the day I realize I have sunken to a new level of desperation.

Die, OP. Good luck alone the rest of your life.

[quote] Stop trying so hard. It's not cute.

Oh, we [italic]are[/italic] a regular Betsy Bitter tonight, aren't we OP?

OP, I fucking agree with you.

Did you viciously slap either of the twin bed-having Scruff hookups, OP?

R26 what about while I’m pumping him full of air..are they noisy?

[quote]Usually on a couch, ottoman, rug, table, chair, bathtub, etc... I can't think of the last time I did it on a bed.

People like you aren't having sex. You're putting on a show to assuage your fragile ego and lack of any real sex skills. You're like a prop comic. If you're having sex properly, you would cut out the gimmicks.

[quote]Die, OP. Good luck alone the rest of your life.

I have no problem being alone. Can you say the same thing, toots?

"I will not present hole on a twin mattress like some common slut at a bath house."

No turkey meatballs or clean towels for you either, OP.

There's the door.

Upthread 6’5” tall boy..get a xl twin it’s good f9r up to 6’6”

Twin bed sex for 2 is hotter

I have a queen size bed in my own bedroom with my own bathroom and so does my husband over there somewhere. That's the way I've always heard it should be.

R37 Not noisy but be careful to keep any sharp objects, even a tack away from them. It will deflate rapidly. And the bed will sink a little with you both on it, sort of like a water bed.

[quote]Who the fuck wants to spend the night. I just want a decent fuck surface that's not the floor.

A twin bed provides adequate room to fuck, as long as you are not in fact the size of Chrissy Metz.

Are you implying I was not a grown man?

[quote] I have a solution. Bring a queen sized airbed to his house. They come with pumps and their very own storage bags and you can deflate it and pack it with you as you leave.

Thank you for this, r26. I am enjoying the vision of some uptight and rage-disordered DLer hauling his own bed-in-a-bag to all of his tricks' apartments.

R6 Of English it is the hard yes.

My ex has a queen-size bed. I don't really understand why. He's a petite guy who has never weighed more than 150 lbs, and I'm not that much bigger than him. When I stay at his house, we end up sleeping without even touching eat other, at least, part of the night. Why bother?

R6, Yes, I know. I'm very tired.

I have two queen size beds pushed together, I had to have custom made sheets so I can make it up as one big bed.

Shouldn't a grown adult male have a bed that is larger than twin size?

John and I never push our twin beds together.

It depends on how much the grown man is in size. Girth and lengthwise.

I had a twin size bed until I was 29, didn't stop me from having plenty of sex on that bed and even a couple of boyfriends.

My last apartment was so tiny that for three years I slept on a futon chair. When I finally got a twin size bed, which barely fit in, it felt luxurious.

I would downsize to a xl full from queen just to have more floor space but the queen was costly and in good shape..didn’t plan on getting such a small bedroom when I got it. However there’s not much in the way of bed frames for that unusual size.

I vote for, none of your fucking business unless you're the boyfriend. But I like what someone said upthread, nothing is cheaper than a queen.

R55, look for antique or mid-century bed frames. They are cheap as hell. High quality and often in excellent condition.

I have a full size and the sheets are so much cheaper. Lots more room in the bedroom too. I’m about to furnish a second bedroom and am thinking about going for a queen size, but there are gorgeous antique full size beds all over Craigslist and estate sales. People just want to get rid of them.

I sleep like a starfish (splayed out), so even for just me, a twin bed is too small. Yes, first world problem.

AOC is coming for you R58 . How dare you sleep like starfish when most of the world has to sleep like shrimp ? Your bed is costing her 1/235th of her carbon footprint, asshole !

OP you clearly hate yourself.

I have two beds in my bedroom, what is known as a 'matrimonial' in this country, and a long 'single' bed with a very good mattress. I sleep in the single, under layers of blankets. Why do you all require so much room? Are you all 'big girls'? I rarely sleep in the other bed.

When I sleep in a hotel with their big beds, it's no better/worse than my single. Actually, my single is very cozy, a comforting cocoon.

For tall guys, regular twin is puny (especially with a guest). Either a Twin Extra Long or Full Extra Long is optimal with limited space, but in tiny NYC apts a regular twin is de rigueur, so love it or leave it. Nobody under 40 usually has anything bigger anyway, so deal or peel.

Way more choices in linen if you have a twin. Any pattern you want - race cars, My Little Pony, cheeky monkeys, Barbie. My two current favourites are a psychedelic beaver and a sasquatch. Larger mattress sizes - you're out of luck. Just tasteful stuff there.

Fuck no. I'm 6'2 and about 200 lbs. I am not gonna have sex in a twin bed with a guy my size. And I don't need to curl up next to him if he's staying over. Minimum needed is a queen size mattress. I'll be that asshole and say a king just looks too big unless you have a gigantic bedroom. The proportions are just off.

WHats the difference between a full and a double?

Nothing, R64.

Lying in my twin bed as I type this!

For all those size questions. And what used to be called “double” is now “full”.

Double anal in a single bed.

This twin bed is the only size that would fit in my parents' basement. Lay off, cunt.

[quote]Also, who fucks on a bed anymore?

I did. Although I’m not certain you can call what I did ‘fucking’ in the strictest definition of the word.

Bottom drama.

If you're hosting, you're not going anywhere near my hole if you have anything under a fullsize.

I am picturing OP arriving with a picnic hamper filled with bedbug barriers, drop cloths, and lots of green rubberized gloves.

“We can clean or fuck. I’m out of lithium, so there’s that. “

Having a twin bed doesn't mean someone isn't grown up. (Now if they have bunk beds, or they're still using one of those wooden loft type things designed for dorm rooms, then maybe they don't want to grow up.) Until I was 40, I slept on a twin-sized futon. Though I had outgrown my efficiency apartment, I had to stay there to take advantage of a rent freeze. I saved a lot of money that way. A twin bed is cheaper and its smaller footprint takes up less living space. (And it gives you a good excuse for rejecting houseguests.) The only problem is that it doesn't facilitate post-hookup sleepovers.

Twin bed with a pull out pop up trundle would seem like a good solution...thus making a king bed.

I'm 5'5 and have a California King because it makes me feel rich.

R77 fancy bitch, are we?

I had no idea grown that grown people not only sleep in twin beds, but actually like them.

Nursing homes and hospitals have twin size beds.

R16 must be a pocket gay. I haven’t had a twin bed since the dorms in college. It’s very juvenile in my opinion, and completely ridiculous for a sexually active adult.

When we first got together 20 years ago, my partner and I slept in my full size bed when he’d sleep over. He also had a full size bed at his apartment. When we officially moved in together, we upgraded to a queen because we just wanted to spread out a little. On our first vacation together we had a king size bed for the first time and we loved it and would always get kings on vacation when we could. 5 years ago when we bought a house together, we upgraded to a king. Yes, it’s bigger than we need but it’s so nice to have all that room.

Yeah I have never encountered any adult with a twin size mattress either.

R21 = incel.

[quote]Usually on a couch, ottoman, rug, table, chair, bathtub, etc... I can't think of the last time I did it on a bed.

This is... really weird. And because of your need to brag about weird sexual acrobatics I’m convinced you’re actually shitty in bed, or “on a couch, ottoman, rug, table, chair, bathtub, etc...”

I thought the same thing r83. You can tell some posters are shut ins, it isnt immediately obvious to them why what bed you have affects other people.

Shouldn't a grown adult male mind his own fucking business and let others live their lives the way they want?

Not particularly, R86.

As other posters have said: unless you're Chrissy Metz, you have no business sleeping on anything bigger than a twin bed.

Ive been single for the last 5 years and I've had a Queen bed. As an adult that's the only size I've ever used.

R69 Is that a lost Barbara Mandrell song?

R69 likes em BIG

All of our bedrooms had king beds growing up, I went from crib to king bed.

R92 very odd!

The people screaming with outrage about “why would anyone care what bed someone else sleeps in??!?!??” do realize that these are adults pursuing sexual relationships, yes? Are we all familiar with that concept?? People care about what beds other people sleep in because said people were invited to “sleep” in said beds.

Are we all clear on this now? This thread is actually not about strangers snooping into other people’s homes uninvited and rendering arbitrary judgements. If you invite me over to fuck you, you’d better have a bed for 2 fucking people. This is not difficult to figure out.

R92 = Olivia Jade.

R94, you'd think this would be so obvious, the thread hardly needs to exist.

You probably should not be judged on what size your bed is, but it happens.

I had a female friend who was dating a younger guy (who I had never met). My friend described the younger guy to me and told me that this younger guy slept in a twin bed. (Mostly, they were having sex at my friend's house, but she did see the inside of his house.) Point is, the twin bed situation was a negative and was not impressive to my friend.

I'm sure after the third time he pumped one into her he didn't care if he ever saw her again.

Calm down, r94. It is a “discussion” board after all. Differing opinions and all that.

[quote]he pumped one into her

Not a sentence I hope to hear again on Datalounge.

I've already posted upthread, but here goes. I shared a bedroom with my older brother. We both had twin beds. That's what our parents had bought us, and there wasn't really room for anything bigger. At some point, my brother traded his in for a twin XL, since he's taller than me, but that still didn't take up that much room. I moved out when I turned 18, and had a tiny little studio apartment: you could see the whole apartment as soon as you came into the apartment.

I could have gotten a full size bed, but it would have been a very tight fit. As an 18 year old, any guy I dated had a choice between my tightly crowded tiny apartment, or my tight little body. They needed to choose wisely. I'm a Scorpio, so I was an enthusiastic little freak in bed. No one ever left because I only had a twin bed.

I upgraded from a twin to a queen bed when I was 16. Twenty years later, I'm now in a king. I don't care about the size of the bed I'm fucking in, but for a comfortable sleep I would look down upon a twin and there's certainly no way I'd be sharing it with anyone. I like to starfish like the poster above. And no touching after sex, don't even think about spooning me.

Did anyone, for even a moment, have a hint of a scintilla of a thought of spooning r102?

[quote]Calm down, [R94]. It is a “discussion” board after all. Differing opinions and all that.

Really? The ones who need calming down are the posters horrified that the “discussion” is mocking their little baby boy beds.

“Differing opinions and all that.” Ok, hon.

Spooning is for teddy bears. Who can sleep with someone clinging to their back?

I never had a bed until college (twin). Moved in with a bf at 20 and thought a double was huge.

Married at 38, my husband bought us a king for my birthday that year. I still hate it at 45.

The double is the best for keeping the love alive.

If I were single, an extra large twin would be perfect.

I never understood why I never had a bed growing up, but my bedroom was carpeted and I put down a top sheet every night before sleeping.

It made my life easier...I can sleep in any situation. Also never had pajamas and slept in my clothes or underwear (depending on the weather).

R106 Didn't you ask your mother?

You slept on the floor until college? Were you poor? Are you American? Did your parents hate you? Did you have siblings and did they have beds?

An adult male shouldn’t live in an apartment.

R109 has the mentality of a suburban frau.

R106, please elaborate on your no-bed, no-pajamas childhood. Were your parents poor or just psycho?

My partner and I sleep separately and just bought one of those tiny homes in Palms Springs so I am downsizing to an XL twin to maximize space in BR for other than just bed and I am 6tf3in 215lbs

R111, that is some weirdness. How does a parent not provide a bed for their child?

Oops, I meant R106. Need more coffee.

R112 Unless it’s Darfur Orphan, but he doesn’t have parents, or wall-to-wall carpet.

I have more questions for R106, like did your parents sleep in a bed, or was everyone just passed out on the floor? Was furniture seen as a passing fad? Enquring minds want to know!

Maybe he's an ex-con and prefers prison-size beds.

[quote]but he doesn’t have wall-to-wall carpet.

Not true. The carpet moves on its own but it is there. Bugs very comfortable.

The first time I slept on a king-sized mattress I was hooked. The first time I spent over 1000 on a mattress I was double hooked. One thing to know about mattresses.

[quote]One thing to know about mattresses.

Did your computer shut down?

What’s one thing to know?

[quote]One thing to know about mattresses.

And that one thing is???

r119 lol sorry - One thing to know is there are very few mattress makers - A lot of brands will purposely sell the same model under different brand names at different stores to combat price matching.

A full XL is the minimum any adult male should have. You will get a pass if it's on the floor, but eventually you will need a bed frame if this is going somewhere.

R109 was joking.

No, r123. There are actually anti-apartment cunts on DL (no matter what your position or taste when it comes to anything, there's someone here who will cunt about it).

Apartments encourage the evils of the single lifestyle and should not be allowed in our wholesome city.

I always felt uncomfortable sleeping in doubles or bigger beds. I'm celibate now and went back to a twin for comfort. If I met somebody else with a twin I'd just assume they're single or don't have enough space. What an odd thing to worry about or judge. OP must be young.

Why is it called a twin bed?

Because of matching DNA, Rose.

Because most rooms that have them have two of them, r127. You can share a room with your brother or have sleepover guests.

I have one now, and I hate it. I bought it new last year when I thought my bedbug nightmare was finally over. I have not seen any more bedbugs, but I am continuing to wait. I've read a year, and I've read 18 months, are the right amount of time to wait, and it's only been since August.

I didn't want to spend one extra cent on something that might get reinfested.

".. My mother -in -law, She's the inspiration for twin beds!"

More important that their bedroom is clean & tidy/scented, their tech is put away and their bed is made.

I hope I die before I ever become concerned with what kind of bed someone else has. Wow.

[quote]More important that their bedroom is clean & tidy/scented

Scented? To cover up something nasty? Is that what you do?

[quote]More important that their bedroom is clean & tidy/scented

Scented, if they are white trash.

A full or queen bed on a frame, not on the floor. There was a time when DL knew this.

I'm guessing it's mostly queen beds for datalounge.

I live in 600 sq. ft., half of which is being remodeled. Only a twin bed lets me have my office and some gym stuff in the master bedroom. I'm 6' 0", it's fine. Until the house is finished, I'll fuck in a hotel room, if need be.

Like R118, I was hooked as soon as I slept on a King bed in a hotel & was going to upgrade from a Queen (which I've had since I was early 20s) and buy one. ... but THEN I slept on a Cal King in a suite & it was over. I needed that exact bed.

I am an insomniac & I wake up a lot during the night, but that bed was like xanax & valium mixed together. It's a hybrid memory foam + coil base. Cal Kings are longer but narrower than full Kings so it doesn't take as much width out of your room as a King, and as a tall person, my feet don't go off the edge. Along with high quality linens, it's heaven.

It's still on the frame they delivered it with, but I am thinking about getting a real bed frame. The one I want is more than the mattress itself. My old Queen bed is in the guest room.

Mr Bedbug at R130 they are a pain to deal with, and if you live in a condo or apt building you’re also somewhat at the mercy of your neighbors. If you haven’t already, you may want to protect your mattress investment with an encasement (not just cover/protector but one that wraps around and zips tight). Some examples here:

r140 Thank you, sweetness. I have that, plus those cuppy things under the legs of the bed frame so the bugs, should they appear, will fall in the cups and not be able to go up the legs. So far, so good. No bugs in my bed, nor in the cups. It's very PTSD, though. I freak out every time something touches the floor.

Now, when you first lost it...Twin, Full, Queen, King or BUNK?

I would like an xl 3/4 bed ..a regular 3/4 is 48” wide by 75” long — upthread guy said a large twin so that’s what I’d imagine that would be since a full is @54” wide but 75” long andbtoo short for tall boys.

Bed size queens, how big is Teutonic god Jan's bed?

I grew up with a twin bed, had one in college, and in my first studio apartment after college, which also served as my couch. Next apartment had a full size Murphy bed. Next apartment I bought a full size captain's bed with a storage headboard and drawers on either side. It was higher than a standard bed and fit nicely into a little alcove I used for sleeping. I had no room for other furniture in the sleeping alcove but didn't need it. A trick made fun of me for having a "child's bed" but at least I had my own apartment and wasn't sleeping on a friend's sofa like he was.

Now that I am in a house, the captain's bed is in a guest room, and I have a king size bed. I like it but to be honest, I get very cold sometimes when it's just me. I never used to get cold at night sleeping in a twin or full size bed. Plus a king size bed is a pain in the neck to make by yourself.

I need to know more about the guy who grew up without a bed....

[quote]An adult male shouldn’t live in an apartment.

Yes. Every 18 year old should have a down payment saved for a house.

R144, I would estimate that bed to be queen-sized.

[quote]I'm celibate now and went back to a twin for comfort.

How is a smaller bed more “comfortable?”

Some of these replies are downright weird.

What the hell is a captain’s bed?

A captain's bed is a platform on top of storage drawers with a storage headboard. So called after the type of bed found in a ship captain's quarters.

[quote] How is a smaller bed more “comfortable?”

Easier to warm up and keep warm in. Especially if the twin bed is set up in a corner.
