Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Where would one get one of those group sex mattresses? Asking for a friend.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I've slept three to a king comfortably. Only downside is it gets very hot. Yes, both of those statements are double entendres.

This is just the US btw. Here's the UK:

You basically never see emperor though

I think European sizes differ slightly too because IKEA duvets and bedding never quite agree with stuff from other shops

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

As a tall Dutch person, my bed is 220 long and 200 wide. Unfortunately Ikea only carries 200 long mattresses, so I need to go to specialty stores.

But luckily tall people problems are prevalent here, so lots of stores.

How is a king smaller than a queen...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

He likes big butts and he cannot lie

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

IIRC The queen would need space for kids or something like that

To allow for the Superking

I always just thought it was IKEA making sure you'd have to buy a bed, mattress and bedding exclusively from them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nah, here in Germany for example, the standard single bed is 90x200cm, the standard double bed is 140x200cm and the king size (although I’m not sure how it would actually be called) is 180x200cm and usually just uses two 90x200cm mattresses. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a larger bed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It’s the same in Sweden, which suggests it’s either an EU-wide standard or informally standardised (perhaps thanks to IKEA’s economies of scale).

The UK is presumably different because the Inselaffen like things being in round numbers of inches and they didn’t vote Leave to have 140cm double beds.

As a non-English English-speaker, I just learned some German

That fucker that invented the twin XL has earned the wrath of many college freshmen.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would also like to know to why

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because the college would tell you the dorm rooms have twin mattresses in them. So everybody shows up with twin sized sheets.

You can actually get fitted twin sized sheets to fit a twin-xl mattress if you fold the mattress a little when you put on the sheet.. When the mattress straightens out it compresses a little, and the sheets stretch a little. But you'll also find the weak spots in your sheets very fast.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Ahh, okay. Yeah, I've slept on twins and twin xls most of my life and I'm familiar with the sheet stretch, I just didn't realize colleges didn't differentiate when they told kids what they had.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because finding sheets that fit them used to be terrible. Even in a college town, you'd have very limited options. I expect this is much easier now that online shopping is a thing, though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah.

But that's not an excuse to force 10-20 some percent of the population to hang their feet of the end of the bed (and yes 5 inches makes that much of a difference)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Oh, I agree with you. I was just answering why many college kids disliked the twin xl mattresses. That doesn't mean they should quit using them in dorms.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Maybe it's too narrow?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Wife and I fit fine in a Full bed. I didn’t know until recently that it’s supposed to be for teenage sized people.

Alaska kings sleep with 3 womens.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (3 children)

That's two dudes and two women.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I can't see their genitals. You must have one of those 8k gaming monitors

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

one of them just has short hair

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I thought that was nanna? Hair in a bun.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Alaska kings are open-minded.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But why are they all touching themselves?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Ecstasy kicking in.
