Did you know how to tough it is to buy a bed

Went bed shopping yesterday,it was really tough, the reason being i didnt follow the following "Process"

Step One
Measure your bedroom and doorway before you decide on the size of bed to purchase. You will need at least 15 to 18 inches of space on either side of the bed to move around comfortably.

Step Two
Think about whether you will be sharing the bed and how much you or your partner moves around at night before you come up with the size. Beds come in six different sizes: king (sometimes called eastern king), California king, queen, full (or double), twin and twin extra-long.

Step Three
Purchase a king, California king or queen for one or two people. A king works well for those who frequently change positions during the night.

Step Four
Try a full if the bed is for one person. A full is probably too small for two adults, especially if one or both frequently move about.

Step Five
Buy a twin-sized bed for one child or one adult. Two twins are great for children who have sleepovers. Allow for 24 to 30 inches of space between beds.

Step Six
Add four inches to the length of your bed for the headboard and four for the footboard. Once you've added these to the measurements of the bed frame, you have the total width and length of your bed.
