[–]Charmeleon256'2" | 188 cm 39 points40 points ago

I'm getting one when I have $23,000 to blow.

[–]Hawaiigal5'15" | 1905 mm | Hawaii 13 points14 points ago

Party at Charm's house! That could host one helluva pillow fight. :D

[–]JeSuisAmiralAckbar6'4" | 193 cm 29 points30 points ago

Yeah...pillow fight....

[–]Charmeleon256'2" | 188 cm 7 points8 points ago

Is that what we're calling it?

[–]VikingIV6'4" | 193 cm 5 points6 points ago

Y'all should use long body pillows...

[–]Charmeleon256'2" | 188 cm 0 points1 point ago

You're not coming?!

[–]V3rtigo 2 points3 points ago

No, I've got pretty good control.

[–]Charmeleon256'2" | 188 cm 1 point2 points ago

I was waiting for someone to say something

[–]VikingIV6'4" | 193 cm 4 points5 points ago

You're right... I can't act falsely busy for this one... see ya there! I'll have my camera in case we need coverage for /r/tallgonewild

[–]Intigo6'4" | 195 cm 1 point2 points ago

Wow, that's a real thing. I had no idea!

[–]Lolworth6'3" | 190cm | London, UK 2 points3 points ago

5 foot 15?

[–]cptcracker6'5" | 196 cm 7 points8 points ago

methinks the lady is referencing her true height in a subtle manner

(not sure why I am talking ye olde english)

[–]Hawaiigal5'15" | 1905 mm | Hawaii 2 points3 points ago

Well, it was not meant to be subtle so much as funny, but yes. :)

[–]Hawaiigal5'15" | 1905 mm | Hawaii 1 point2 points ago

Yes.

[–]Metamorphism1.96 m 7 points8 points ago

So much room for...

[–]nico916'5" | 8 points9 points ago

That anticipation almost gave me a heart attack

[–]Charmeleon256'2" | 188 cm 1 point2 points ago

Sexy.

[–]LarrytheLifeguard6'2" | 187 cm 31 points32 points ago

Man you can have a huge orgy on that bed

[–]TuppyHole6'4" | 194 cm 23 points24 points ago

If you could afford a bed like that it would be nearly impossible not to have orgies on it.

[–]felixfelix6'4" | 193 cm 1 point2 points ago

...with huge numbers of huge people

[–]Alv2Rde6'4" | 193 cm 3 points4 points ago

...with numbers of huge people?

[–]Atomo_v6'6" | 198 cm 27 points28 points ago

The bed is a great deal, but they really gouge you on the sheets.

[–]jgiant7'1" | 215cm 12 points13 points ago

Apparently it belongs to 6'10" Al Jefferson.

Seems a little extravagant - I'm a good bit taller and manage to sleep in a bed that's only 8 foot long.

[–]Arylex6'2" | 188 cm | 'STRAYYYAA[S] 15 points16 points ago

"only 8 foot long."

[–]Sahje6'3" | 190 cm 5 points6 points ago

It does help he's a well-paid NBA baller.

[–]VolcanicArmado 0 points1 point ago

I'm 6 foot 8 and have 7' 3" bed which is big enough. Hate sleeping in anything else

[–]binge906'7" | 201 cm @ 265lbs (Dublin, Ireland) 0 points1 point ago

Woe is you, you only have an extra 10 inches of leg room.

I have to sleep in a bed that's 6ft long.

[–]jgiant7'1" | 215cm 1 point2 points ago

I've spent years sleeping in normal size beds that were way too short for me too - and now know first hand how much it affects your sleep.

However, rather than wasting time taking other peoples sarcastic comments too seriously, I went out there and did something about it.

[–]binge906'7" | 201 cm @ 265lbs (Dublin, Ireland) 0 points1 point ago

The thing is, (now this is just as far as I know - I might be missing out) it doesn't really affect my sleep. The mattress is nice, some orthopedic thing that my mother got me on sale, and there isn't really an option for a bigger bed, my room's too small for it.

[–]jgiant7'1" | 215cm 0 points1 point ago

You are missing out. Being able to stretch out fully with plenty of room and decent support made a massive difference.

[–]mach06'4" | 193 cm 1 point2 points ago

Why are you torturing yourself? Get a normal bed. I had to sleep in a shitty bed until I was 18 (granted it wasn't that bad until I grew tall) and I can't tell you properly how absolutely awesome it is to sleep in a 220cm bed.

[–]binge906'7" | 201 cm @ 265lbs (Dublin, Ireland) 6 points7 points ago

Yeah, I should get a nice big car too, and a bigger and nicer house. Maybe some crocodile skin shoes, and a gold watch.

[–]mach06'4" | 193 cm 1 point2 points ago

how about you start with a thing you spend 1/3 of your life in?

[–]KJew6'6" | 198 cm 7 points8 points ago

A taller bathroom?

[–]digisplicer 0 points1 point ago

Higher toilet.

[–]jgiant7'1" | 215cm 1 point2 points ago

Ups to you for that - I know first hand how much better a nights sleep you get when you sleep in a decent bed thats big enough.

[–]akm09216'3" | 191 cm 6 points7 points ago

10x12 feet. 120 sqft of bed.

[–]supbanana5'10" | 177 cm 8 points9 points ago

Damn, that's the size of nearly every bedroom I've ever had.

[–]iheartvintage 2 points3 points ago

Your bedrooms have been bigger than some new york city apartments: http://community.apartmenttherapy.com/contests/smallcool/2011/entries/2733?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=smallcool2011

[–]supbanana5'10" | 177 cm 0 points1 point ago

Shoot, bigger than some houses even! I realize that I've been very lucky to have large rooms; it was just my way of conceptualizing how big this bed actually is.

[–]imasunbear6'6" | 198 cm 2 points3 points ago

That bed is bigger than my freshman dorm which I share with another human being. Dafuq.

[–]Revofev926'3" | 190 cm 4 points5 points ago

Give me this and a ten-man jacuzzi so I can pretend I am a kid again :o

[–]Guido_Torpedo7'1 | 217 cm 3 points4 points ago

Damn,I thought the $6,000 bed I've been saving for was a lot.

[–]matts416'8" | 205 cm 5 points6 points ago

Bigfoot is blurry. And that makes him extra scary to me.

[–]shakycam3 3 points4 points ago

I have always said that if I ever became ridiculously soulless CEO rich I would have an Alice in Wonderland room in my mansion where you walk in and everything is over-sized. Huge couch, chairs, table, everything. Then act all surprised when people comment on it.

[–]Ooooooooh6'6" 3 points4 points ago

I'd much rather have Shaq's bed.

[–]mach06'4" | 193 cm 1 point2 points ago

looks like it's made for boning 5 chicks at once.

[–]plz6006'4" | "Damn he's tall" 3 points4 points ago

I have never wanted anything more in my entire life.

[–]Futuresailor6'6" | 198 cm 2 points3 points ago

Dy-na-mite! No, but I would seriously like a very large bed. Perhaps this is a bit too big. Wouldn't even fit in my bedroom.

[–]fatalvaux5'11" | 180 cm 2 points3 points ago

There's so much room for activities!

[–]JeSuisAmiralAckbar6'4" | 193 cm 1 point2 points ago

Ok what's the story behind the bed?

[–]Chris12182186'5" 3 points4 points ago

It's a NBA player's.

[–]Nassor6'6" | 198.12 cm | MN 1 point2 points ago

I want to be there.

Just not with you.

No offence.

[–]Lolworth6'3" | 190cm | London, UK 1 point2 points ago

I'd still sleep in the top-right corner of it

[–]That_Tall_Dude6'8" | 203 cm l Ohio 1 point2 points ago

I want it. Now.

[–]heimdalsgate6'7" | 200 cm -1 points0 points ago

Yes thank you. I'll take it.

[–]potrockss 0 points1 point ago

sighs DO WANT

[–]RandyDangle5'9'' | 175 cm 1 point2 points ago

The bedding is pretty boring

[–]mbluhm36420 0 points1 point ago

He's fuckin 7'1

[–]guy_fleegman4'22" | 178 cm 1 point2 points ago

I need my feet to hang off the end or I'll get a charley horse. I guess I'd sleep at the bottom like a puppy.

[–]Zeppelanoid 1 point2 points ago

Just to clarify it's not a $23,000 bed, Al Jefferson just had to pay $23,000 to have it shipped from Utah to...wherever he is now.

[–]TheSunAlsoRises6'4" | 193 cm 0 points1 point ago

Evidently 6'1" man didn't have money leftover to spend on a camera.

[–]ducardosotm6'5" | 196 cm 0 points1 point ago

This is my dream since I was a kid

[–]catsvanbag6'4" | 194 cm[!] 0 points1 point ago

It would probably take up the whole room. Then you would truly have a "bedroom"

[–]goat_I_am5'7" - 5'11'' ( I honestly have no idea) 0 points1 point ago

I would say I have a bed like that but that would be a lie my bed is slightly bigger than me (one hand length).

[–]reidearl 0 points1 point ago

He must not of watched 30 for 30 "Broke"

[–]TehkSmall4'4" | /r/dwarfism mod 1 point2 points ago

Me in any normal sized bed.

[–]keesh6'6" | 198 cm -1 points0 points ago

Cool. Thanks for the pic, Mr. Fox. I really liked you in Back to the Future.

[–]Arylex6'2" | 188 cm | 'STRAYYYAA[S] -1 points0 points ago

Prepare for the downvotes, but shit, that made me laugh.

[–]keesh6'6" | 198 cm 0 points1 point ago
