twin or full bed
Comments (66)I love reading all the replies. Thanks!!!!! We are definitely going with the twin. My Mom reminded me that she has one; it's cute. So, we are using it. We will have to purchase the mattress and bedding but it won't be as much as an investment as originally. PBK has bedding that I really like but I hear that the quality is not as good. Any thoughts on other brands I should check out?...See Moregirly lighting over a twin bed
Comments (4)Islandmom, I used two candle sconces over my DD's beds when we redid her room a few years ago. We already had them, and I just needed something small and simple because the headboards are tall. There was already a bedside table and lamp, so we didn't need an additional lighting source. They might give you an idea of what one would look like. They are white painted iron with three drop crystals around the bobeche. One bed: The other: Close up: Obviously you daughter doesn't want to read by candlelight :-) but I thought the two-armed sconce night give you a feel for what one double fixture might look like over twins.

Comments (28)In my adult life, I've slept in a king, a queen, both alone and with my husband, and now an extra-long adjustable twin that's actually part of a "split king". I've liked them all at various times and for various reasons. We got the adjustable split king (2 extra-long twins) from Costco several months ago for a couple of reasons (and BTW, it's expensive!). My husband now wakes up several times most nights from leg cramps or to go to the bathroom, and at least one of those times would wake me up and I couldn't get back to sleep, so I'd have some rather unproductive days. So going back to a king, or the split king were the choices we considered. Even though expensive, the split king won, because I have GERD and veinous insufficiency, and he has acid reflux. I'd tried several different slanted pillows to raise my head for several years, but I didn't sleep well, since if I relaxed I'd slide down the pillow by morning and be almost flat, which made my esophagus irritated. And raising my legs by putting a pillow under them didn't work. Having both my head and feet raised to about the zero gravity position have totally solved the problem. The bed has a memory foam mattress with a pillow top over it, so it's very comfortable. My husband and I are able to stay in the same room, I can get a good night's sleep, and he also likes his head raised. This position only works if you have medical reasons, or like to sleep on your back--on your side doesn't work well. I understand it's also good for those with sinus or asthma problems, and possibly sleep apnea. I'm mentioning this here, because you can also buy just a twin that is adjustable, and because the info might help someone else who might have the same issues I do, or might need an adjustable bed as they get older for medical reasons. All it takes is money! We're retired, and decided to skip taking a couple of trips to buy the bed instead. Great decision! Anne...See MoreFitting two twin beds and a sectional?
Comments (3)Window sills are about 2 feel off the wall. So pretty low. I'm not sure distance to closet but putting furniture in front of the closet would require placing something in front the door to the bedroom....See Morerenni_2009
