King or Two Queens?

[superbadgirl]

Now I'm torn. The futon is gone and while I was perfectly comfy sleeping on loveseat cushions last night, that's not going to be a long-lasting thing. I'm still hedging between a full or a queen. I don't really NEED the queen and my apartment is small. Plus I'd have to buy new sheets and stuff, and since the queen is already $150 more than the full that would bump me up to $250 more (mattress pad, too). It's money I will have eventually, but don't quite at the moment.

But it would still be nice.

I have a full for the same reasons as you. My reasoning: if I meet a guy, HE can provide the accommodations (and do the laundry). If he can't, well, that's a pretty good indicator of some things right there. ;)

Heh. Ultimately, I put the chances of me getting laid anytime soon in the slim-to-none range. How depressing.

And, yeah, if my apartment is the better place to be then there's a problem. I think I'll stick with full. Queen seems unnecessary for someone my stature.

Thinking long-term, I'd go with the queen, but I guess you do have to weigh that out with how long it would take you to get what you need for the bigger bed--and the space issue. When we were first married, we had only a full-size bed for a good many years before we could afford to buy a new bed. (The bed we had was mine from when I was a teen. Before that it was my sister's. Before that it belonged to some random friend of my parents. *g* Even the mattress was a hand-me-down.)

Anyway, my point was that full-size was good enough for us for a while, but we always knew we'd buy a bigger and nicer bed once we could afford it. If you feel like you'll need or want a queen even just a few years down the road, it might be a good idea to wait now until you can get what you really want vs. spending less money now, but then wanting/having to turn around in a few years to get a bigger bed.

OTOH, this might not matter. Who knows what will happen in five years? *g*

I don't know. lol That made sense in my head a minute ago, but I'm not sure it makes sense now. heh
