"A bed is a piece of furniture?" Are you kidding me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.245.137 ( talk) 16:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC) reply

I have noticed several UK references to Emporer sized bed. Is this the "Super-King"? Should Emporer be referenced on this page for UK? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.22.37.154 ( talk) 04:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC) reply

I was surprised that throughout the whole article there isn't any mention of sex. Like it or not, it's one of the primary uses of beds, after only sleeping. Considering that the sexual intercourse article does not mention beds either, how would an outsider (Alien?) reading wikipedia determine where we perform the deed?

Huh? There's no mention of breakfast in bed either....or reading in bed....even if you spend an hour having sex everyday in bed, you're still likely to spend 8x as much time sleeping in it - and it probably spends 12 - 16 hours a day empty. So, by your logic, the single most important use of a bed is to sit by itself with no one in it (sleeping, reading, eating, or, yes, even having intercourse) - hey, why isn't a majority of this article discussing that beds spend most of the time not being used at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.164.201 ( talk) 01:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC) reply
