Are well groovy.
They consist of the double bed sized frame but they have two single sized mattresses within them enabling bed partners to choose differing types of mattress- hard, medium, soft etc to suit the individual's taste or requirements This cannot done with the typical English offering.
This also helps immensely when it comes to getting your fair share of the bed as there is clear markation of territory so you don't end up getting just 6" (15 cm, ha!) on one extreme side of the bed as wifey sooooooo graciously allows.
"But I want a cuddle" "Get off, I want to sleep" "Come here" "Git orf" "Hhhuummppfffff"- we've all been there, right?
And you get two single duvets as opposed to one big one- which again is most excellent for keeping some warmth on your side of the six inches.
Aye, Euro beds ROCK!
Spot on mate! And beds are normally decent - as in proper duck down duvets etc.
ReplyDeletei prefer a one mattress operation... just cos summink isn't english doesn't make it "not right"
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on the mattress. For the one mattress operation I can recommend the IKEA (oh sorry, not English, but bought in England) Hasselbäck or whatever it's called again. 160x200 costed I think 250 Quid or so, if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteI didn't say English beds are wrong, just that Euro style is more suited to a couple who have differing requirements. I've a bad back which benefits from a hard mattress whereas wifey prefers a more medium base.
ReplyDeleteDitto duvets- I prefer a lighter cover, etc.
Main reason though is that I KNOW where half the bed is...
