I got my super king from dreams beds in a half price sale. I just stock up on new linen in the January sales, usually over half price off then

The most noticeable difference going from a double to a king is the extra 6" in length. Im 6 foot tall, and it was so much better not having my feet hanging off the edge of the bed. Ive since found myself sometimes sleeping 6 inches further down the bed so my feet are hanging off the edge. Must be a phsychomaological thingy.

Yeh, I have this too, although it's when my girlfriend comes to visit me at uni...but you aren't her, so I need not worry about most of my posts
Sucks beng in halls and having a small bed, but then at home I have a double which is a brilliant size for my and my girlfriend, and at her's is a single...somehow I'm the one that doesn't get any sleep at uni and at her's

actually for whomever was overheating...
my gf and I have a duvet each. hers is a mega-thick down-filled one and mine is a thin synthetic one...both are double sized...
since letting her have one to herself, she stopped encroaching o
into my side of the bed...

That looks comfy, but we like our beds to have bars at each end

Men and women basically shouldn't share the same bed, i read an article on the bbc about some study they carried out and basically women are much deeper sleepers than men and move around more, this results in men getting a bad nights sleep as the don't sleep so deeply so are woken up all the time. They did a study with several couples and monitored them for a week sharing a bed and a week sleeping seperatley and all the men slept better alone.
My missus also does the moveing steadily closer and closer thing in the night I often find myself sleeping half on the wooden bed surround allthough moaning about it all the time does seem to have fixed this somewhat!

Going on holiday and staying in a king size now feels weird and tiny.
Only bad point is getting new bed linen, its expensive for super king size.
What he said^
Super kingsize are great, so much room to move about without feeling cramped.
If you get a big bed, get the best mattress you can buy, we bought a sealy orthapedic, very hard, but very comfortable. Sleeping has never been better.

Queen size isn't a British measurement.
You have
Single: 3' by 6'3"
Double: 4'6" by 6'3"
King: 5' by 6'6"
Superking 6' by 6'6"
Doubles are too short for anyone over 5'9" really as the recommendation is for the bed to be around 6" longer than the occupant(s).
