For you singles out there...

My room is approximately 10x10, maybe 10x9.5 (didn't get an accurate measurement this morning). The frame I'm considering is:

Full: 76" x 58" (6'4" x 4'10")
Queen: 81" x 60" (6'9" x 5')

My desk is on the opposite wall, and my closet is deep enough for storage/dresser/etc. Also, the bed is raised 15", so I can store stuff underneath as well.


Should I jump the gun for the queen? Or is a full bed Good 'n Plenty? I don't want to compromise real estate in my room, but other than my desk, the only thing I might add is a TV stand. But even then, I'd use my monitor (HDMI) for console gaming.

Edit:

In my case the difference between queen and full is $20.

full at my house, my room is pretty small

Queen baby, no question. Much better to have the extra room and if you do ever happen to bring a lady home, she will appreciate it.

Queen.

Queen.
If I had the money for a King Tempurpedic, I'd buy one.

Queen is worth it if you think you ever might get laid.

I am single and I sleep in a California King, I do not know why

My bedroom is approx. 13'x13', and it fits a queen bed, large desk, and two dressers just fine.

The price between a queen and a full is little if anything. Get a bed that is good. Buy online and NEGOTIATE!. I got a bed with SRP of 5,000 for 1600. I made an offer, one a few hundred less than the last, to one online bed-seller after another. <br><BR>
Go to the store and lay on your back for at least 10min so you can figure out what bed is best for you. Sometimes you can't tell the $700 ones from the $2000 ones.

I only have room for a full, but my girlfriend is small so it works out. She recently got rid of her twin and bought a queen for cheap. That bed is amazing! When I sleep over I get half of the bed all to myself and I don't even have to touch her (if I don't want to). It really beats the crap out of sleeping on top of each other and waking up with a sore shoulder/neck.

 

[Dumac]

My SO and I used to share a twin...

So I would think a double would be enough? For only $20, a queen is tempting though. You don't want your bed to take up too much of the room though...

Maybe you are ugly?

 

[clamum]

I sleep in a full cause for my current room anything else would be too big but I'd love a queen or king.

 

[Orsorum]

Queen. I really should have a king, my feet barely fit.

 

[Dumac]

If you don't mind me asking OP, what mattress are you thinking of getting and where are you thinking of getting it?

 

[alkemyst]

except as a kid I always had a queen or king.

 

[herkulease]

the differences are marginal but I dunno about you but you're not gonna be able ot fit desk and later a tv stand in your room. If you put the bed on one side up against the wall you only have 5 feet to teh side and less than 4 feet @ the ends to work with. You must have a pretty small desk. Even if its just two feet deep desk, you only have 3 feet of walking space left.

Maybe its me but I like to have some decent space to move around.

I'm not single, but for the first 6 months after I got married we slept on a full and didn't have any problems. Then we upgraded to a Queen and it was great but it wasn't a drastic change. About 6 months after that we decided to upgrade to a King and the change is enormous. We visited my parents last weekend and slept on a Queen in the guest bedroom and it felt so small I couldn't stand it. I don't know how we survived 6 months on a full.

A nice queen bed for a single person would be great.

Nomad Platform Bed

$180 is kinda costly but it includes shipping.

I was looking at a bed from Ikea that would run me $130. However, I drive a Civic, and don't know anyone with a truck/van, so I'd have to fork over some cash and rent a truck from U-haul, which I calculated to be ~$50.

So it evens out.

This is my concern.

My desk is 2' x 4' (folding table).

From 10, subtract 5 for the bed, 2 for the desk, and I've got 3 feet for my chair to roam.

Are we talking about beds?
I sleep on a queen either way.
