One of my teenage dreams was to be able to sleep with my arms outstretched, with enough space to turn around and reopen my arms and legs and that's why I always told myself that when I left home I would buy a bed as big as the room. So big that I opened the door and that to get in I had to go on the bed (exaggerating a bit, but there was the idea).
Then what happens, that the day you buy a flat and furnish it, you leave those dreams behind and do things with more logic, and buy a bed of 150 cm, which by then seemed quite large. The problem is that, once you have children, everything becomes small (not just the car), and that's when you think: I should have pursued my dream and to have bought a very large bed.
More than once we have been about to be tempted to buy a 180 cm bed because more than once we have seen ourselves sleeping in a few centimeters squeezes. However, as we are less in bed and as in his day we bought a small bed that we put next, we have ended up underestimating this solution (and partly because the money does not spare, if not ...).
However, if you are expecting a baby, if you have the rooms to be furnished or if you have decided to redecorate a room because it will be your child's room, keep it in mind: buy big beds.
And I say buy big beds because the early years are a bit chaotic. You usually know where you start sleeping at night, but you may not know very well where it will end. I have come to sleep in three different places the same night. Start in my bed, emigrate to the sofa with the medium because he is with too much cough and will wake the little one and then emigrate again to the bed of the elder because he has woken up vomiting. To make so much change, of course, you need several children and well, so much movement is not usual, but it is quite frequent to make at least one change.
There are children who sleep directly with parents and then there is not much problem, big bed for everyone and ready. There are others on the other hand who, when they are older, sleep in their beds, but want to spend some time with dad or mom. Ideally, of course, is that let's fit a little comfortable, in case one day we are too tired and we fall asleep, or if one day the child is not well and we prefer to spend the night with him instead of moving him to our bed. For these cases, obviously, it is best that the bed is a bit wide, so if it fits, better big (There are 100-110 cm wide beds that are a joy).
Obviously it all depends on the tastes of each couple and what they want to do at night (which each sleeps as they want), now, as a father who had a bassinet that did not help, a crib that was not used and a bed that was used It made us close, I mention all of this in case someone is in the position of needing beds, so that there is a place where a child spends the night we probably have to spend more than one with them.
