The Best Beds for Couples How to Sleep Happily Together Without the Elbow Wars

Sharing a bed should not feel like a wrestling match

Let’s talk couple sleep.

You love each other.

You share a home.

You share a bed.

But if one of you snores, wriggles or steals the duvet, bedtime can feel like a nightly competition.

This Funkybedz Bed Buying Guide is here to help couples choose the right bed so you both sleep better and wake up less grumpy.

Why couples need to buy beds differently

Buying a bed for one person is easy.

Buying for two is a whole different story.

You need space.

You need comfort.

You need stability.

And ideally, you need storage too.
