This is my bed. Red and black are two of my favorite colors.
Anyone who has visited my house in the city knows I have more room — too much room — than I know what to do with.
Especially in my bedroom. This is why my twin bed, which pales in comparison to my queen-sized air mattress, looks absolutely ridiculous.
Sure, I thought about going bigger. But why? I’m single. That would just be wishful thinking.
My sister — the little brat (kidding, Casey) — took the queen-sized bed from my room at my parents’ house to college in Richmond. I was left with this bed, which came from my grandma’s.
And it has been with me through the good times and the bad. In sickness and in health. Through three moves. Through college. Through living at home with my parents.
I can’t get myself to replace it. But sometimes, when I’m marveling at a friend’s king-sized sleeping quarters, I can’t help but be a little jealous.
Any other 20-somethings out there still sleep in a twin bed?
I faced the bed size situation in preparing to move to York. My twin mattress has faithfully served me through college and grad school but I’m leaving it behind so I can fit everything in my car (depressing) for my move out there. Even as a single person the bed I will get will be a queen size because it feels like an ‘adult’ bed compared to a twin. My compromise is that it will likely be from Ikea.

Hey if you want a full size mattress, bedspring and frame, I have one I will give to you…It is clean, almost new…I just want to get rid of it as it is taking up too much space and we are trying to downsize…Just saying…No need for you to be jealous of your friends…
