Not to mention the size of homes. I have seen bedrooms in which it
would be impossible to fit the smallest bed.

Not seen one quite that small, but the bed in my 4th bedroom only fits
in one direction, the other it's about an inch too long (and that would
be after removing the skirting boards). It is slightly longer than
average [single] bed though.

Your 4th bedroom? Obviously you must live in a cramped hovel. How do you
manage?

It's half the size of the last house I owned! One of the bedrooms (the
biggest) is mine and my wife's office. One is our bedroom, which leaves
one each for the two teenage children. Clearly, neither was delighted at
the prospect of getting a 6ft by 7ft room...

If we have guests then there's a sleeper-sofa in the living room.

Sounds like a prime candidate for knocking down a wall or 2.

We've done that downstairs.
