to those sighs of envy in the millions of homes where couples are stuck with the old 4 ft 6in size. Five years ago anyone demanding even a 5 ft. bed was considered a bit of an eccentric. Now the Loudon Bedding Centre reports that most of their shoppers consider 5 ft. the minimum for comfort. But a change of bedding means a major financial outlay.

Try asking in à departimentul store you will end up feeling faintly immoral. For a bed 581 6in wide and up, you even have to hunt for special pillows. The cost of bedaing, too, is enough to dunt any but a wedding-chuqur-happy couple.

The outsize bed means not less than £5 10s, a pair for cotton sheets. One merino wool blanket costs £ 5%, and the price goes up every year.

But once you've slepi in a big bed the old 4ft 6in feels like a single.
