Kingsize or Superking bed?

Moving in with my girlfriend for the first time and wondering what bed to buy?
I currently have a double and find it hard to sleep when she stays over. Its just the rooms a bit tight for a Super.
Any experiences?

If a double is too small and there isn't really the space for a super, surely a king is the best option?! Why not go along to some shops together, armed with your rom measurements, and try lying on different beds.0

The room is 3.1 m by 3.7
Super is 2m by 1.8 m
so will fit but be very bed heavy.0 -
No correct answer to that one :P
Why not buy a better quality mattress on the king as a nice compromise?
Less space, more comfort.0 -
How big are you both?
I'm 5ft 10in and my wife is 5ft 7in. We are both about average build and weight.
We have found a king size bed (5 feet wide 6 feet 6 inches long mattress) fine for over 30 years.
Unless you are bigger than us, a king size should be fine.0 -
Bunk bed ?0
