Bed size has increased (http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/well-good/teach-me/86945440/how-have-bed-sizes-changed-throughout-the-ages-why-has-the-double-died) in the Western world, in the last few decades. king and queen-sized beds were generally not available until the late 1950s, and didn't catch on for a while. Double beds, smaller than queen-sized beds, were much more common. Bonniegirl 10-30-2017, 10:29 PM Good observation, TMC!

Seemed like there really wasn't enough room for two people to sleep comfortably in! :confused: lakesgirl 10-31-2017, 12:55 PM Hey, at least they didn't sleep in two single beds like Lucy & Ricky and Rob & Laura. robyrob 10-31-2017, 04:42 PM uhh - maybe because they needed it small enough that they wouldn't have 6 kids and a maid trying to crawl into bed with them every time there was a thunderstorm Smartboy 10-31-2017, 09:12 PM Hey, at least they didn't sleep in two single beds like Lucy & Ricky and Rob & Laura. In the first place, what show are Rob and Laura from? On top of that, another example of a husband and wife who slept in single beds is Mr. and Mrs. Howell.

It all starts with a fight about the covers. RetroGuy2000 11-04-2017, 07:25 PM Perhaps the rise of larger shared beds led to the decline in marriage longevity.
