    Their x-large looks impossible for two people to comfortably fit, even in their advertising. Also how wide are the bolsters along the edges? How would a 5’9" person even be able to sleep in the standard? My knees would kill if I had to suspend my legs by my feet in order to lay on my back.

      Yeah, sadly these look like they’re for average height women at most. As a 6’ man, I’m disappointed.

    I pretty much exclusively sleep with one of my feet sticking out uncovered over the edge of the mattress. Without the warm foot/chilly foot combo, I’d just feel uncomfortable in this bed.

        That happens to me too. In my daughter’s bed. She’s six. And really it’s only if I really lay flat. It barely happens. One of the rare wins for below average height!

    What I’m hearing is everyone here would be immediately happier if they could afford to sew together a few body pillows. If only there was a simple solution to this dilemma…

    I also have always wanted to sleep in a huge dog bed but, unfortunately

    Summer

    I’m already suffering the tyranny of sweating all my liquids out twice a night, this would add a whole extra dimension of heat (pun not intended)

      If you’re not doing it already, use fans to move the air around your room. The moving air will help remove heat from your body, effectively making you feel cooler. This is done through what’s called convection.

        … Did you actually recommend fans to people who get hot like it’s a secret? Is this some old British TV sketch about sheep growing fucking wool or vegetables coming right out the fucking ground lol?

        Another reply acting like this is a dumb thing to remind people. Maybe I’m dumb too.

        But we used to have a fan that blew air across the bed. Husband loved it, I hated the feeling of air moving across me and would be buried under blankets to avoid it.

        After a medical procedure he was sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks while he healed.

        I adjusted the fan and ceiling fan so they move air around the whole room, just not directly across the bed. I can sleep without barriers for air tickles, we get the white noise benefit, and the room feela cooler. It works for him too this way when he’s in there and keeps him cool enough (I’ve asked)

        Before that I had just assumed you had to be directly in front of a fan to get the benefits, especially when it’s too hot outside for the AC to work effectively.
