This was caused by encountering the most disgusting hotel bed I have ever seen while travelling in the country years ago. We slept on top of the beds! Boy did I let the manager have it next morning. Once in Queensland I actually took the pillows into the holiday rental agents and said they could sleep on them.

You spend so much time there, it ought to be comfortable. It makes me happy just being there. I generate heat at night, so I usually end up kicking off the covers. And yet, when I'm with someone, I like to have contact all night as I sleep.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-77120174227649085912013-07-24T13:38:29.763+01:002013-07-24T13:38:29.763+01:00Jenny: I know, sharing with strangers used to be v...Jenny: I know, sharing with strangers used to be very common. In fact inviting your guests to share your bed was the done thing, I believe. Indeed, beds used to be much tinier, I suppose partly because everyone was tinier in those less healthy times.Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-7290294101843908242013-07-24T12:41:46.647+01:002013-07-24T12:41:46.647+01:00It truly beats me how people in the olden days cou...It truly beats me how people in the olden days could stand the kind of beds they had. Quite apart from the horror of vermin, they used to have to share beds with strangers in inns, and often with siblings at home. I went to Mendelssohn's house in Leipzig and was amazed at how tiny the bed was that he shared with Mrs. Mendelssohn ... surely they could have afforded something a bit bigger? But apparently not. Or else they ... well, I dunno. I suppose they were used to it? But I simply don't think I'd ever have got used to it!Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-52654607209923340932013-07-23T21:07:15.694+01:002013-07-23T21:07:15.694+01:00Grannymar: I'll take your word for it, having ...Grannymar: I'll take your word for it, having never been plagued by squeaky springs!<br /><br />Jay: Well, there you are, bequeathed in a will!

In a normal bed, I 'chase' him until he gets to the edge, then he tucks the duvet between us to keep me off of him and we snuggle, all totally while we sleep.<br /><br />In the big bed, neither of us slept well. We kept waking up too far away from each other. The bed was so big, when I was awake I had to roll over 8 times to get to his side! Horrid.<br /><br />Big, but not too big! Pretty much covers everything really! <br /><br />Roses<br />xxxRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469442580348062913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-17036647015858746112013-07-22T10:22:42.859+01:002013-07-22T10:22:42.859+01:00Rosemarie: Pictures, pictures!

It wasn't sexy, it was just vast. When we moved to a Travel Lodge the day after, we were much happier in a small, lumpy bed.
