I am redecorating my room and have decided to upgrade my twin bed. I want a full sized bed because I sleep alone, however, after shopping at numerous local furniture stores I have discovered full sized beds are on their way out and queens are the new fulls. This means that full sized beds now cost about the same as queens.
I know the queen would feel much too big and it would take up more space in my room. However, if I should ever get married and move (not any time soon) I could bring the queen with me.
What do you think?
Answer
Well, it kind of depends how long you are going to be in your current location. If you are only going to be there a couple years before moving out, go with the queen. You can deal with a little less room in your bedroom for a year or two if it means having a queen when you move out. I ran into the same decision my senior year. I ended up buying a really nice queen and its still in great condition. My husband and I still use it today.You can also find more bedding for queen beds, on ebay and in stores.
Good luck :)

Queen Liliuokalani was a talented musician and accomplished composer. She wrote approximately 165 songs, including Ke Aloha O Ka Haku - The Queen's Prayer, which was written during her imprisonment. Her best known composition is the immensely popular and lasting favorite Aloha Oe.
The crest on the cover of this sheet music includes Liliuokalani's motto, "Onipaa," which means "steadfast." The original edition of this sheet music was published in San Francisco in 1878.
The given website has more information about her songs.
Her legacy is the overthrow of the independent Hawaiian government by greedy US politicians and businessmen:
Queen Liliuokalani, at the request of her people, was determined to strengthen the political power of the Hawaiian monarchy and to limit suffrage to subjects of the kingdom.
Her attempt to promulgate a new constitution galvanized opposition forces into the Committee of Safety, which was composed of Hawaii born citizens of American parents, naturalized citizens and foreign nationals. This group, with the support of the American Minister to Hawaii, orchestrated the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and the establishment of a provisional government.
On January 17, 1893, Queen Liliuokalani yielded her authority:
... Now to avoid any collision of armed forces, and perhaps the loss of life, I do this under protest and impelled by said force yield my authority until such time as the Government of the United States shall, upon facts being presented to it, undo the action of its representatives and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as the Constitutional Sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands.
- Queen Liliuokalani to Sanford B. Dole, Jan 17, 1893
The Imprisonment
In 1895, an abortive attempt by Hawaiian royalists to restore Queen Liliuokalani to power resulted in the queen's arrest. She was forced to sign a document of abdication that relinquished all her future claims to the throne. Following this, she endured a humiliating public trial before a military tribunal in her former throne room.
Convicted of having knowledge of a royalist plot, Liliuokalani was fined $5,000 and sentenced to five years in prison at hard labor. The sentence was commuted to imprisonment in an upstairs bedroom of Iolani Palace.
During her imprisonment, the queen was denied any visitors other than one lady companion. She began each day with her daily devotions followed by reading, quilting, crochet-work, or music composition.
After her release from Iolani Palace, the Queen remained under house arrest for five months at her private home, Washington Place. For another eight months she was forbidden to leave Oahu before all restrictions were lifted.
The Apology of The United States Government
In 1993, 100 years after the overthrow, President Clinton signed a Congressional resolution (Public Law 103-150) in which the United States government formally apologized to the Native Hawaiian people.
