What's the deal

What's the deal with bed sizes? I mean what genius named them 'king', 'queen' and 'twin'.

Small, medium and large would have made much more sense.

if you were referring to meals at fast food joints, coffee cups or underwear, then yes.


when you spend the money on a king sized bed, like i have, you don't do so to tell your friends "i got a large bed". doesn't have the same air to it. that's like saying "i bought a fast car" when you're referring to the Ferrari you purchased.

Yep. Drink one, and you've got all your nutrients for the entire day. Now lets make fun of mathematical equations while we look up at the stars.

Its called a California King. 4 people could easily sleep comfortably on that bed. It never has more than 2 adults and perhaps my 19 months old at any given time. But that way there is room to SPRAWL....

There has to be a historical reason for these size names.
