I'm moving to a 1 bedroom with my dd, want to maximize space, is a twin bed too small for an adult or it has to be at least a full bed? (I'm searching for those that have storage drawers in it).

    - What about an extra-long twin? They must have those becasue they sell extra-long twin sheets for college students. Still, I would try to squeeze in at least a full bed, for snuggling with dd (and anyone else).

      - I'll take measuments, maybe an extra long twin will give me the space to have an extra drawer witch a full might not.

    - It's a wall cabinet by day and pulls down into a bed at night- you can sleep in your living room this way and give dd the bedroom when she gets older

- Full definitely. At your height, a twin would be a squeeze. And no snuggling with dd!

  - I realized lately I sleep in my current house alone in a queen bed and I take just a small space of it, so I'm wondering when I move to smaller apt if a twin might be ok, since I don't spread myself.
