There is a whole range of mattress sizes beyond the ones depicted.

Queen is the dog between you and her.

Didn't know that. One big consideration these days is mattress thickness...they get pretty thick!

deborah said...

lol Ed. Yeah, as I was pondering the picture it occurred to me that many more dogs could sleep on a king size.

In my old school way, I printed this out to put in the quilt basket, as it provides an easy reference to the measurements I need and keep rechecking online.

Unless mattress thickness presents a specific problem, the primary considerations beyond cost and size are comfort and construction which translates into durability.

The primness or singular focus of presenting a King bed as a resting place for person and a dog seems unusual. In addition to the fact that any dog who's loved me has wanted to sleep close and not stay put in the far corner of the bed.

deborah, if you're thinking of buying a Casper be advised it's quite firm. Not rock hard but firm. I have a Casper (the full sized) and I'm satisfied with it. In terms of thickness it's not terribly thick, let's say substantial. Important that you lay it on a perfectly flat support. It's a fun (maybe startling) moment when it pops out of the box Casper sends it in.

Okay, I just measured the thickness: 9 1/2 inches.

"Mattress Girl" lugged around a "drama queen sized mattress."

Is it sexist to write mattress instead of mat?

I remember you bought one a while back, ricpic. Was the first I'd heard of them. I need a firm mattress. The wonderful kind you find at hotels. And a platform bed would suit my bedroom, as my ceilings are only about 7 1/2 feet high. I have read that if you have low ceilings, low furniture can offset it.

No, chick, absolutely not :)

The wonderful kind you find at hotels.

Depends on which "you" is being referenced along with which hotels one frequents. The Hilton Gardens use Sleep number beds, while the Hamptons.....Oh My, Google finger strikes again!

When you bring home the Hampton Bed, our relaxed, warm atmosphere arrives with it. The custom-designed hotel mattress features a plush surface and innerspring construction, which combine for deep support. It comes with our specially crafted box spring, designed to double your comfort https://www.shophampton.com/productGroup.aspx?mattress.

I hate my pillow-top queen mattress. Hate it. Too tall to climb into comfortably, too hard to find linens, too difficult to move around on top.

I've seen more generously sized linens online recently, but my standard queen comforters were too narrow to cover the drop to the dust ruffle. I ended up with king covers.

Since buying a new mattress several years ago from local manufacturer, we've been following the advice of the salesperson who recommended giving it a quarter turn every 4 months, which means it's sideways for half the year, but feels new after every turn.

Actually the maths on that don't work, but neither does my counting. We end up turning it around New Year's, Easter, 4th of July and Labor day, or thereabouts, because those are times I can remember. So far no indent or bowl has formed like the last one from Sam's.
