We're thinking of replacing a perfectly good bed so that we can upgrade to a king sized bed.
I'm also feeling really stupid for not coming to this realization _before_ we had our old couch and loveseat picked up by a charity group (the new couch and loveseat should arrive soon).

Oops.
We did this too. Replaced a 3 year old queen bed for a new king. OMG BEST DECISION EVER!
I'd love separate beds. I slept in the guest room last week (not a fight, just couldn't sleep) and it was glorious. And I get SO psyched for overnight business trips because it means a bed to myself.

Chances are charity groups won't take a bed. We had an impossible time finding someone to take our bed and mattress, I ended up giving them away on Craigslist.
Can this be a non-MM confession? Today my dog caught and killed a squirrel. I'm having a hard time even looking at my dog. I don't want her to cuddle with me. She's a murderer. I'm really hoping I can get over this soon.

Good to know. Thanks!
I suspect we'll end up going that route. I'm slated to do a sleep study soon (waiting to book the appointments until I have a vehicle again), and I'm wondering what they'll say about it (if anything).

I had the same reaction when my dog killed a bunny. It was so terrible. Fortunately I got over it the next day.
True story about the importance of a king bed in our marriage:
When we were househunting recently, I told my realtor that the only requirements for our new house were a yard space, at least 2 bedrooms, and a 12X12 or larger master bedroom. He said that was a very specific requirement, and I told him that was the space that our king bed would fit in and that was a non-negotiable. DH and I are both big people, and our 80 pound dog sleeps on the bed too. Without a king bed I would be divorced, or at the least sleeping in separate rooms.
The realtor (a single guy) thought we were exaggerating until we pulled out a tape measure while househunting to measure the master bedrooms. No joke here.
More of a random, but I really want to go to bed, but we are having a thunderstorm and my cat is terrified of thunder. She has to be snuggled or she will fear pop. So here I sit.
audette Do it! Once you get a king you'll never go back to anything smaller!
And the the hotel is out of king rooms, puts you in a double, and you glance and your husband and say "Dibs on the one near the bathroom!"
I love getting double beds. I always tell DH that every hotel is sold out of king rooms. I really talk it up too.." well this sucks DH, this bed feels so big without you..."
My grandparents slept in separate beds in the same bedroom. I think they were onto something.

When you go mattress shopping ask if they will haul away your old mattress. I know that JCPenney will take your old one when they deliver your new one and one of our local stores does it as well. Never hurts to ask and it could save you some time and the hassle of trying to get rid of it.

DH and I basically have this. We have a king size bed and we each have our own covers. So we have two queen size blankets and two queen size comforters. He sleeps way on one side and I sleep way on the other. I touching. No fighting over blankets. I hardly even know he's here sometimes. It is amazing.
mbcdefg, separate beds are a life saver. All of the women on both sides of my family are "migratory" and move to the other bed in the middle of the night. H just starts on the other room when he stays up crazy late. It is glorious.
steph96, my dog has done that too her hunting instinct is crazy strong. We can't just leave her in the backyard for a bit because she will towns any squirrel or cat that comes across our fence.
If my parents get the beach house they are hopefully putting an offer in on soon, DH and I are going to take our mattress set that we just bought last June and move it down there and get a new set, probably tempurpedic. DH hates it, and when we measured it for a claim it's only at 1/2", not the mandatory 3/4".

You will not regret this! Buying a king size bed was one of the best decisions H and I ever made. We splurged on an amazing mattress too. So worth it!!

Agreed! We just bought our king (OMG Best decision EVER) in March and they hauled our mattress/boxspring away for $40-which was the dump fee. Money well spent.

I had to get over this one really fast with my dog. We've got a million rabbits in our area and they tend to get trapped in our fenced in area. Our dog likes to chance them so, yeah.....

We're totally thinking about doing this depending on the size of our bedroom in our TBD rental. Our queen bed would be fine for just us but we really want more space for the dog to be able to fit more comfortably. There's my confession.
When we first got married and bought a house and went shopping for a new mattress, I was adamant about buying a queen. I argued that DH and I spent years sleeping in a double bed and we are snugglers who love to spoon all night long. I was actually serious about that shit.
Thank god we bought a king. I was so glad that I lost that argument.
