Since I always have to offer my two coppers...
I've crashed in single beds with a significant other, nad I've crashed in larger
beds--twin and up, with a significant other. Now the single, being all so cute
and small, is fun for the first couple of nights, but, and I mind you that I'm
leaving everything else but sleep out of this discussion!!!--no 'gutter talk'
here!!!!--, after a while, it just doesn't work as a continuous sleeping
arrangement, though adds an enormous 'snuggle' factor (again, 'sleeping
snuggle'-- minds outta the gutter!!)
Now the most comfortable crashing with someone else is when there's a futon
cushion on the floor--that way the 'sprawl factor' for either of us when
sleeping is pretty much covered and the only thing we have to worry about is the
sharing of the sheets.
Now, of course, I have a queen mattress and box spring (donated to the 'Dave
needs furniture for his new house' foundation from Papa) but I do have a 'Noah's
Arc' wallpaper border around the room which I haven't removed yet because to do
so would naturally lead to painting the room, and I just don't care to paint
right now. So I have BBB in a LBR. Add that to Janey's research paper. I can
state since I've moved into that room that I've had no one else occupy my bed
with me. Maybe it is the wallpaper.

Grring at Chris is okay. It's when the women start 'rrrrowrr-ing' at Chris when
I start rollign my eyes and scope out the Exit signs...
