If you were having issues sleeping with your partner: snoring, unable to keep still while sleeping etc - would you consider bunk beds if you didn't have a second bedroom?
Neat bed! And nope, I don't think I'd go with bunk beds because I'd still be able to hear him snore and every time he tossed or turned the whole unit would transfer the movement anyway.
The separation might mitigate the noise, and this particular e.g of a bunk bed looks solid enough not to shake too much If the other person is shifting about. You can buy more solid bunk beds. Ones that don't transform - giving a slight chance of shaking etc. I was going to say hammocks - but that would be going too far. I like it, too. It probably costs a fortune. *checks* The link to the image suggests it is no longer in production. (It's from 2008)
there might be better options. throwing down a futon on the floor, or in a living area I think there are some tricks to stop snoring too also, ear plugs bunks don't look like a good option to me
A friend of mine said that the thing that saved her marriage was a king sized bed...because sleeping together in a regular queen was impossible. I don't think I'd ever do anything like that...I don't have the issues sleeping. My husband on the other hand...
He sleeps on the futon in the living room, I sleep in a big squishy queen size bed. I'm impossible to sleep with. But no to the bunk bed thing, even when that was all we had, we shared the bottom bunk. Too scary being up there like that, it'd be terrible for the top bunk to give and squish your partner with your added weight.
I've owned some really solid bunk beds, and had the misfortune of bunking with snorers and tossers, and they still transfer movement and sound. What's most annoying is when your bunkmate has woken you up by thrashing, and then proceeds to snore so loudly that the vibrations travel through the bedframe so that you can hear them despite having earplugs. Separate beds are helpful for that.
The initial reason for this thread was a comical one. Thinking about a married couple sleeping in bunk beds was very funny to me. A very bad sitcom idea. However, I am an adult and have had these issues too. So it was also a sensible suggestion. I thought so, anyway. The actual serious point was space rather than the bunk beds themselves. I thought bunk beds would save space.
i'd consider seperate bedrooms if you had a house or appartment with enough rooms to do so. i mean sleeping is sleeping and sex is sex. there's no reason both should HAVE to take place in the same place. i can almost never sleep in the same bed with anyone, regardless of my relationship with them. i guess i'm wierd, but my parents often slept in seperate rooms. it wasn't a religious thing or anything like that. my dad had to work some odd shifts when he didn't have very much seniority, and he needed to get his sleep. so i've never understood this idea, that because people are married or in some kind of relationship, that they should have to sleep in the same bed or the same room or anything. stainless and orange is a pretty color combination. i don't see how it would solve the problem of snoring. tossing and turning maybe.
In the sitcoms that were on when I was a kid all the couples slept in twin beds. (I love Lucy, Dick VanDyke show etc.) The part of the question that stuck in my head though was the snoring. I remember years ago visiting my parents (who at that time slept in separate rooms) and I wondered why until evening when I heard my Dad snoring. It kept me up and I was sleeping in another room down the hall. In terms of saving space the bunk bed idea is a good one. I have never wanted to sleep that far off the floor though.
Don't worry. I would. After my hip replacement I do not do stairs well and I would not consider trying a ladder. :sunny:
I did not take any offense. Unfortunately I am just not into sitcoms. I don't have any ideas for a sitcom with bunk beds.
well, I can't imagine that bunk beds would be good at all. I've slept with a restless and snoring partner for over 36 years (4 years co-habitating and 32 years married) now I can't sleep without all the motion and noise.
