My girlfriend and I are looking for a new bed. Currently we are on an old full size mattress and I am not sleeping well. It has a slump in the middle which could be causing the problem. For the past 6 months I have been kicking in my sleep which wakes my girlfriend. I went to the doctor because I thought this was a sleeping disorder called PLMD. I have tried 2 different drugs for this; however, none of them remedied the situation and made me sick. Luckily I have a girlfriend that puts up with me and she has put up with my kicking; however, recently I have been sleeping on the floor because I find it more comfortable.
Now I have saved up the money to buy a complete mattress/box spring set and I am having a had time picking which way to go.
1 Option: Push 2 twin mattress together for a King Size (9.00)
My girlfriend has a twin mattress she loves… I mean really wants to sleep on that. It is the best bed ever… loves. My idea is I should buy another twin size mattress of same thickness and push them together. I know there will be a crack in the middle but I think with fastening straps, memory topper or mattress pad, and of course king size sheets, it will stay together. This will also help if the my leg jerking (PLMD) isn’t related to the old worn full size mattress because if I continue to kick and shake the bed waking my girlfriend up we could always separate the beds… Just enough
2 Option: Pick a Queen Size Bed (9.00)
We both layed on a queen size bed we like and the sales person said I have been kicking and moving in my sleep because of the old mattress and he thinks buying a new queen bed would fix the problem.
The problem with the 2nd option is that their is NO GUARANTEE that the queen bed will fix my sleeping problem. And the worst part is I can’t return the mattress to the store (Their Policy). So I maybe waking my girlfriend up and still not be happy and not solve the problem.
The 2nd option seems like a "Win-Win". This will stop me from waking up my girlfriend because we are on different foundations. We can also separate the beds. If we move to a different apartment we can easily move the mattresses compared to a king. Also I would only need to buy one twin bed because my girlfriend already has one she wants to use.
I would like to know which option you would pick and any other advise you may offer. And thanks for reading this long post.
