Browse Forums Finishing Touch Re: Bed size for kids 18May 02, 2009 5:01 pm Another vote for king singles, I have a 6yr old in them and I'm sure it'll do till she leaves the nest, I got a good quality mattress and a double quilt does the job well. As for the 2.5 year old (having also just decided to boot her out of the marital nest last week- is currently on a mattress next to our bed on the floor till she gets used to sleeping on her own and I actually buy her a bed of her own) I will probably get her a king single, although I'm not sure it will fit so well, she has a smaller room, there is a large walk in robe though I can put her dresser drawers in so it may be ok. I remember still having to sleep in a single throughout my teens and at nearly 6 foot I hated it. I'm broad too and always felt crammed. Re: Bed size for kids 19May 02, 2009 7:21 pm I'm so glad there are other parents who have their children sleep with them. Our friends and rellies always made me feel like a freak because our daughter slept with us . She's out now tho' yippee Definitely go for the king single .. our daughter loves to be tucked in tight with twenty teddies cramming the space Re: Bed size for kids 20May 02, 2009 7:45 pm I agree DL, I feel so much better about our situation reading about other co-sleeping families! When people hear the 4 of us share the one bed they give me the eye like we are some weird hippy family I love having my babies near me, but it's getting to the point where we can't all fit comfortably any more. I also think it will be good for their independence if I let go a little bit I'm sure I will sneak into their beds for a cuddle at some stage So if we go king single - the general rule is to go a double doona...does it hang over the side heaps? Any photos would be appreciated... Do they make king single doonas? I know they make quilt covers but I wasn't sure if they had doonas too... My karma ran over your dogma Bathroom renovation will likely include a back-to-corner bath and we’re considering a freestanding tap with hand-held shower such as the picture included.
