When my husband and I got married in 1962 we slept in an antique 3/4 bed with no problem. We slept on a double bed at the cottage on a screened in porch. Then we got a Queen size and now even sleeping alone, my husband passed away 1 1/2 years ago, I prefer the Queen. I am working on a quilt for my sister who has a double bed and would like a King size Quilt. I am struggling to get it big enough. I would like to get it finished real soon!
