    Trying getting out of that in your 50s with arthritis setting in. Oof.

    Why stop there? I hear they’ll give you an entire padded room if you ask correctly.

    I pretty much exclusively sleep with one of my feet sticking out uncovered over the edge of the mattress. Without the warm foot/chilly foot combo, I’d just feel uncomfortable in this bed.

      I don’t see the problem. The ring isn’t solid, it’s like a pillow all around so it wouldn’t hinder you from that. There would only be a small height difference with the weight of your leg on the soft ring, even seems like it could be even better than a normal bed.

        Even if it squished most of the way down, I’d still have my leg uncomfortably raised. But I also use a pillow that’s so thin that it barely lifts my head higher than the mattress at all, so maybe I’m just unnaturally well-suited to the flat slab bed shape.

        That happens to me too. In my daughter’s bed. She’s six. And really it’s only if I really lay flat. It barely happens. One of the rare wins for below average height!

    I was just talking about something like this with my gf last week. I want a big bed with upturned edges (but still big enough to stretch out fully on the flat part) that I can fill with extra cushions and blankets. The image in my head was a bit nicer than a giant dog bed though…

        No not that extreme. I don’t want a bed with walls, just slightly upturned edges. More like a big dinner plate than a crib.

      I remember something like this with a friend’s water bed. It was mostly a normal king size bed setup but the rim of the bed had a 3 or 4 inch wide padded lip. It all came out to level when the bed was made but the effect as you got on the bed was sinking down a little past the lip, so even if you were on the edge you were still sort of cupped into the mattress instead of being able to easily roll out.

      Yes! I don’t want my pillows falling off the sides, I don’t want my phone to fall off the edge, I don’t want my blanket slipping over the edge. Right now I create the little lip with a rolled up t shirt on the edge so I can put my phone down and roll over and in the morning it’ll still be on my bed

    What I’m hearing is everyone here would be immediately happier if they could afford to sew together a few body pillows. If only there was a simple solution to this dilemma…

    Their x-large looks impossible for two people to comfortably fit, even in their advertising. Also how wide are the bolsters along the edges? How would a 5’9" person even be able to sleep in the standard? My knees would kill if I had to suspend my legs by my feet in order to lay on my back.

      Yeah, sadly these look like they’re for average height women at most. As a 6’ man, I’m disappointed.

    I have no greater ambition. Always be well rested. Most stress I feel is once a year on the 4th. Get super hyped about running around at the park with friends.

    This should be what life’s about. Robot overlords if you can hear me, skip all that matrix shit just get us bowls with our names on it.
