The big advantages of a big bed

Let’s face it, when it comes to beds, bigger is always better. Read on, and you’ll see why. Oh, you’ll hear plenty of excuses and objections from others. Parents and grandparents will sometimes exaggerate with, “Back in our day, we had the whole family sleeping on one cot.

Why would anyone need such a big bed?” For those of you who have ever visited a pioneer village somewhere or remember your 16th-century history, it seems most people slept on beds just about the size of a crib. Well, they also made their own shoes, didn’t have running water, and bathrooms weren’t even invented yet back then. We’ve come a long way since.

How big and tall are Americans?

According to statistics, the tallest people in the world live in The Netherlands. #2 Montenegro #3 Estonia #4 Bosnia and Herzegovina #5 Iceland. The average height of American males is 5’ 10” or 176.94 centimeters, and that puts us at #47. The average height of American females is 5’ 4” or 163.31 centimeters. Back in 1960, the average height of American males was 5’ 8,” and American females were 5’ 3”.

We’re bigger now too. According to the CDC, in 1960, the average adult American male weighed 166.3, and the average adult American female weighed 140.2. We’re not going to pay any attention to weight during the pandemic, so in 2020, the average American male weighed 197.9 pounds.

The average American female weighed umm, uh, I can’t seem to remember . . . I guess. Anyway, the point is even if your parents and grandparents slept all scrunched up on a twin XL, we’re bigger and taller now, so we need a bigger bed.
