Doubling up with two queen beds creates a bed that is 120 inches wide by 80 inches long. This is also known as a family size bed.
What are my options for a family bed mattress?
There are a couple of different ways that you can achieve a family size bed. You can either push two queens together or you can purchase a preconfigured family bed mattress, which is a whopping 10ft wide
Why should I push two queens together or purchase a family bed?
One of the main reasons people sleep in bigger beds is due to co-sleeping. This is an arrangement whereby the family shares the same bed!
Co-sleeping is not a new phenomenon though. It is something that many cultures have been practicing for centuries. Sleeping separately is a new arrangement that has arisen within the last 100 years or so.
That said, co-sleeping is becoming increasingly popular again and that is one of the reasons why mattresses seem to keep expanding!
What are the pros and cons of a Family Bed / Two Queens Pushed Together?
Pros:
- It is believed that co-sleeping promotes a feeling of closeness and unity within the family
- Convenience of closeness for breastfeeding mothers
- Sharing the bed with pets without feeling overcrowded!
- Feeling of luxuriousness and grandeur
- Space to lounge around as well as sleep!
- Feel less movement or noise from your partner
Cons:
- Safety concerns if you are sharing a bed with a young infant as there is an increased risk of SIDS due to lose bedding
- They obviously weigh more than a standard size mattress, so can be difficult to move around
- Occupying more space in your bedroom
Why would I choose two queen beds pushed together rather than one family bed mattress and frame?
It may be that you already have the queen beds, in which case, why purchase a whole new mattress and bedframe!
What size bedroom is recommended for two queens pushed together?
Generally speaking, it is recommended to have 2-3 feet of space on both sides of the bed and at the end. As much as a bed is the focal point of a bedroom, in terms of design, it is better if the space is well-distributed and balanced. Practically, you also need to leave enough room for nightstands and to be able to walk around the bed.
