I am married and have a king size. Depends on how big you both are, I guess. I am 6'4" and about 280lbs, so my feet hang off anything smaller than a king.

yes we do.
i think it is wonderful. nice size for both of us. its very cozy and gives a reason to really cuddle which leads to other things.
when we get a new matress, i might be tempted to switch to a queen, but we have not had any problems.

We have a queen bed. I think a king is too big and a full is too small. But it's really personal preference.

My GF and I each have fulls at our places and we've been in hotels with queens and kings. We plan to get a king.

I have a Queen size, all for myself. I've slept with people in it, and it hasn't been a problem.

My parents got a fullsize and it's frakking heaven though.

king size here. but we have like 5 or 6 cats that sleep with us, so with a full size we would be squished.

as it is we sleep like contortionists because neither of us has the heart to move and wake up the cats.

We went down to a Queen size because old bedroom was too small. We kept the mattresses when we bought a new bedroom set to save money. I wish we had spent the extra $1200 for new mattresses for the king, but we get along OK.

A full would mean a perpetual spoon.

i'm single... used to have a king, and loved it, but now have a double/full. Actually, I have two that are full size... but that's off-topic.

I had a full size bed when I was married. I could get by but I prefer more room. I'm just not good at sleeping when bumping up against someone.

Yeah, cuz they're covered in pet hair! :D
I have one cat and one dog and they fur up the bed like it's a lint trap!

I had a California King when my wife and I got married so that's what we've used.

My wife always ends up pinning me to the wall (my side is against a wall otherwise she'd cuddle me right off the bed) so we might as well have a full.

A King sized bed saved my marriage. My wife is a roamer, I am not. The queen sized bed was agony for me because she would practically push me off the bed. With a King, I have plenty of room and she can rule 3/4 of the bed without affecting me. :)

I had a live in GF and we had a full size bed that was just fine.
Realistically a queen size bed is the best bang for the buck.

My king is to small.
When one of the kids is restless it seems to set the other two off and they all eventually end up there no matter what you do, so I end up in the guest bedroom which is a full and it's a perfect size for me.

:p

The Mrs and I share a queen size. It's a nice size. We sleep in a full size when we're at my parent's, and although a bit cozy, it's entirely doable.
