[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of toddler and ES kid here.  Both are/will be in twin beds because we had received some through family.  As kids get older/bigger will they naturally ask for bigger beds?  We are thinking about future furniture needs to make some design decisions.  If it makes a difference, both are boys and I expect they will be tall.[/quote]

We started our kids out in twin beds, but when we built our house, we left enough room for full beds.  When our oldest, now 6'1", was in high school and needed a new mattress, he asked for a bigger bed, so we got him one.  Since we were buying new mattresses anyway, we asked our middle son if he also wanted a bigger bed and he said no.  We asked him again on several occasions, and he always said he was fine with his twin bed.  In the meantime, our youngest had also asked for and gotten a full bed when we re-decorated her room before she started high school (she's 5'10").

Fast forward: when our middle son got his first post-college apartment, he bought a queen bed at IKEA, assembled it, and said "Wow!  This is so much more comfortable. How come you guys never asked me if I wanted to get a bigger bed?"  Basically, he's the kid who always declines our suggestions and later, when we've given up on the idea, finally tries out whatever it was, then  asks, humorously,  "How come you guys never suggested that I (fill in the blank:  take Spanish, travel on a service trip, etc., etc.?")  Eventually, he tries many of the things we suggest to him and really enjoys them, but he has to do it on his own schedule.  This is why kids are so entertaining.      [/quote]
