First thing I did when I bought a queen bed was sleep smack dab in the middle of the mattress.

Why?

I had just graduated college and moved from a dreaded twin bed to something more spacious. I was going to exploit every glorious inch of that pillow top, which meant sleeping in the middle and stretching out left, right, top and bottom. As time has gone on, I’ve moved over to make room for different guests, but you can bet when I’m alone that I’m center stage.

If you curl up on one side or the other, try scooting over to the middle. Pull the blankets up tight and don’t worry about where your limbs fall. If you’re just getting out of a long-term bed sharing relationship, get in the middle ASAP. Do it for yourself and help exorcise those partner demons lingering on one side.

It’s your bed and you’re the queen.
