Got hooked up with a 5000 series King for a house warming/early wedding present from pops.

Soon, I will never be getting out of bed.

Were you sleeping on the floor before? Btw, as tall as you are, I figure you'd get a California King sized bed instead.

They make the sleep number in that style...we decided it would be the cause of too many arguments ;)

We actually got the Cali King, but the company makes something called a Grand King, which was designed for Kevin Garnett and is something like 84 X 98...or 30% bigger than a standard king.

Also, the first time I slept in mine, at 6'5, and my feet didnt' hang off the end of the bed..........I cried.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Jerry: Coming.

George walks to the door wearing a shower cap.

Lupe: Hello. I have more towels.

George: Oh good, good, come in. Come in, welcome. I'm George. And this is Jerry, over there, on the phone, that's Jerry. And you are, um?

Lupe: Lupe.

George: Lupe. That's very nice, very nice. Listen, are you going to be making up the bed in the morning?

Lupe: Yes.

George: Fine. Excellent. Could you do me a favor? Could you not tuck the
blankets in? 'Cause I can't sleep all tucked in.

Lupe: Oh, yes, yes.

George: Yes, I like to just be able to take the blankets and swish them and swirl them, you know what I mean? You know, I don't like being all tucked in. I like to have a lot of room, you know I like to have my toes pointed up in the air. Just like to scrunch up the blankets.

Lupe: Yes, yes. It's too tight to sleep.

George: Exactly, you know what I'm talking about, right?

Lupe: It's too tight. (Gesturing towards Jerry) Him too?

George: Uh, Jerry, you want your blankets tucked in?

Jerry: Excuse me, what?

George: You want your blankets tucked in?

Jerry: What blankets?

George: When Lupe makes up the beds in the morning.

Jerry: I don't know, whatever they do.

Lupe: I tuck in? Yes?

Jerry: Tuck in, tuck in.

George: Alright, so that's one tuck and one no-tuck.

Lupe: Okay.

George: Yeah. One second, sweetheart. Jerry, I really think it'd be easier if you didn't tuck.

Jerry: Excuse me, fine, you don't want me to tuck, put me down for a no-tuck.

George (to Lupe): Two no-tucks.

Jerry: Uh, hang on a second, You know what? Changed my mind, make it a tuck.

George: You just said you weren't tucking.

Jerry: I'm tucking! Hello? Hello? They hung up on me. They don't know where Kramer is anyway.

George: Alrighty, so. That's one tuck and one no-tuck. Got that?

Jerry: Excuse me, um, did you see a piece of paper on the nightstand here earlier today crumpled up like a napkin?

Lupe: Oh, yes, yes. I throw away when we clean the room.

Jerry: Oh, okay, thanks.

Lupe: Thank you.

George: Thank you.

Lupe: Bye-bye.

George: Alright, Lupe, bye-bye now.

Lupe: Bye.

George: Bye-bye.

Lupe exits.

Ooops. Just saw that you in fact got the Cali King.

Well played. Seriously, your world will change. I'm trying to devise a world where I can live on mine.

BUT, even though you will now have all that room, FEMGAR will still want to sleep all up on you on one side of the vastness negating one whole side of bed.

Not in my house. As explained to me my brother (aka The Dude With The Pompadour): "Dude, the beauty of the king sized bed is that I don't have to be touched while I am trying to sleep."

I have a king size and wholeheartedly endorse this policy. Cuddlin'and canoodlin' is fine, but when it comes time to sleep, stay on your side of the bed and I'll stay on mine.

This here is The Truth. Under no circumstances do I like to be touched when I'm sleeping. I'm like Buddy fucking Revel, I will freak out.

I can't wait for this. We have a fucking QUEEN right now, so you can imagine. Any little movement on either side wakes the other up.

That Grand King is some Shaq shit.

Yeah, when we came to visit y'all, you guys in bed together watching TV looked like when you are a freshman in college and shack up with a chick in the old twin bed (for normal sized folks).

your brother is a smart man.

when married, i had a king size and i swear, i never even saw the middle of that thing let alone my husband on the other side. and recently, i slept in a king size with someone that i normally sleep in a full size with and it was like sleeping in separate rooms. still hogged the blankets, though.

Dude, no need for that. Just put down a down payment on a bed that your bedroom will barely hold and get on dat payment plan.

You won't regret it. Best investment ever.

You just want me to join in your and Bloor's misery so we can have our little "what the fuck did I do that for?" chats over Jack Daniels at a tailgate party in Athens.

so true... unfortunately, our bedroom isn't big enough to accommodate a king size bed, otherwise I'd be all over that!

We upgraded from a double to a queen...with a pillow top memory foam thingy. It's wicked. would have been nice to get a king but it wouldn't have made it up the stairs.

Just sleep for 12 hours last night.... awwww yeah.

When we were traveling we were both quite excited to get home to our beloved mattress. :wink:
