Sharing a bed should not feel like a competitive sport
Sleeping next to someone you love is lovely.
Until they roll.
Or snore.
Or somehow end up with 90 percent of the duvet.
If you and your partner wake up more tired than when you went to bed, the issue might not be love.
It might be your bed.
This Funkybedz bed buying guide is here to help couples choose a bed that supports great sleep, shared space and fewer midnight arguments.
Why couples need to think differently when buying a bed
Buying a bed for one person is easy.
Buying a bed for two is an art form.
You are balancing different sleep positions, body weights, temperatures and personal space needs.
One wrong decision and someone is sleeping on the edge for years.
Start with the right bed size
Size is the biggest factor for couples.
More space equals better sleep.
Always.
Double beds for couples
Double beds work for couples who are happy sleeping close.
They suit smaller bedrooms and first homes.
But space is limited.
If either of you moves a lot, it can feel tight.
Explore our double beds for compact couple-friendly options.
King size beds the sweet spot

Motion transfer matters more than you think
If one of you tosses and turns, the other feels it.
This is where bed construction and mattress choice come into play.
A stable frame combined with the right mattress can dramatically reduce disturbance.
The best mattress types for couples
Pocket sprung mattresses
Each spring moves independently.
That means less movement transfer.
Ideal for couples with different sleep styles.

Memory foam mattresses
Memory foam absorbs movement.
Great for couples where one partner is restless.
Choose carefully if one of you sleeps hot.
Explore our memory foam mattresses for pressure relief and comfort.
Orthopaedic mattresses
Best for couples who need extra back support.
Firm feel.
Excellent spinal alignment.
Discover our orthopaedic mattresses if support is top priority.
Firmness compromise without the sulk
Rarely do couples agree on firmness.
One wants soft.
The other wants firm.
Medium firm mattresses are often the best compromise.
They support different body types without feeling extreme.
Storage beds are a relationship saver
Couples come with stuff.
Extra bedding.
Seasonal clothes.
Random things that do not belong anywhere.
Storage beds reduce clutter which reduces stress.
Less clutter equals better sleep.

Side lift or end lift
