Has anyone heard of the "Alaska King" bed? Perfect for a family bed

Soliloquy · 01-26-2009, 07:25 AM

except the price!

You can read about it here and there are some links w/ pics but basically, it's a square bed that's 9 feet by 9 feet! That's bigger than the queen and twin pushed together that we have!

that is so cool

Wow! It looks like you would need a large room for that. And it seems a bit creepy that they show one man and three women on the bed in the photo

But, it would be nice for a family bed.

Soliloquy · 01-26-2009, 07:43 AM

I think that's just a photo of some customers to add perspective of how big the bed really is.

And yeah, you'd need a HUGE room. The article says that the demand is coming from owners of new homes that have HUGE master bedrooms. We had a new home in TN and our master was huge as well--we chose it because it was the perfect family bedroom. But we had a regular king.

I'd be into that. I'd probably have to knock a wall out first, but how awesome

hey mommy · 01-26-2009, 08:41 AM

Wow.. That would take up my entire bedroom. We'd have no where to walk... It is pretty neat though.

Now that's a big bed!

Wow sounds amazing!!!! We do the same thing withthe queen and the twin, we just started with it last week and it is INCREDIBLE!!! DD has started SSTN because she has so much room to move around yet still have part of her touching us (we're sleeping better too!) I think we'll stick with the arrangment we have now...But DH was saying how awesome it would be to have a wall to wall mattress to sleep on. :0)

mandieolivia · 02-13-2009, 10:18 AM

my mom has a california king sized bed.
i want it.

Niphredil · 02-13-2009, 10:32 AM

I want it! (Not that it would fit through my door ways or anything.

)

We too have the queen/twin combo and it is just right for the three of us big sleepers... where's poor baby gonna fit?

TuneMyHeart · 02-13-2009, 10:33 AM

I can't find the price...

We have a queen and we really need a king.

02-13-2009, 10:37 AM

I'll bet that the linens are really expensive, too! We have an Olympic Queen bed and the sheets are pricey. They've come down a lot since we bought it 6 years ago, but they're still expensive. Odd sizes are hard to find.

That being said, I think I might like one!

Yuliana · 02-13-2009, 10:52 AM

I love it but how do you get it into the bedroom? Can it be vent?
