Bedroom as a "social space"
Researchers and salesman come up with some great finds..
The rise in the sales of king-size beds is seen as a sign that couples increasingly see their beds as “social spaces” rather than just places to sleep.
“Today, a bed is not just to sleep in; it’s more. People want more room in their beds because they have become a social space.
“Even though bedrooms are getting smaller, the bed is now the main fashion focal point of the room, rather than, say, the dresser, as it used to be.”
Interior designers also said that many clients wanted to recreate the opulence of hotel suites inside their own homes, and have beds big enough to accommodate all the family watching televisions or using laptop computers.
“This trend is on the rise as it allows people to recreate the luxury of sleeping in a large hotel bed within their own home,” said Katharine Pooley, an interior designer.
“As our lives get increasingly busy, the need for escapism and total relaxation becomes more and more important.”
So, what say you ... Would you agree or is the bed just somewhere to sleep..........

TV & Internet are a distraction. Sofa is cool...its gives choice to interact socially, differently...:)
Bedroom is meant for sleeping and love making and NOTHING ELSE....:(

Another sales gimmick with a false tag of 'research' to give it (some) authenticity .... sure many gullible would fall for it.
