Great piece as usual, Gene. These are hysterical. My parents' own bed (they married in 59) accommodated two twins beds that were somehow latched together, with a shared heardboard. So maybe their bed was transitional -- perhaps it was easier to manufacture a single headboard that would work with the more prevalent twin beds. Looking back, I realize that it gave my parents the option to separate (their beds) -- I'm glad that they never did.
For my sisters and I, who considered my parents' room a play area, that weird bed made for a lot of giggles when the latches were somehow "undone" and the beds would divide. Someone inevitably, and usually purposefully, fell between.
Both sets of my grandparents not only slept in separate beds but also separate rooms. On my mothers side, because my grandfather liked to sleep with the window open, regardless the time of year or temperature outside. On my fathers ... they just didn't get along that well.
My grandparents had two beds for as long as I can remember and even my parents (now in their mid-60) had separate beds there for a time. It's a different age.
Great article, and I especially liked the images you iinclude. I've been doing some research on twin beds and would love to try to track down the booklet you refer to here -- could you let me have further details about it? Many thanks.

Very interesting article. It's great that married couples now sleep in the same bed but you still see the twin beds every now and then. Loved reading this post.
Separate Beds...
After 26 years of marriage... hot flashes and snoring...we sleep in separate bedrooms!
Scanning Around...

Separate Rooms
Both sets of my grandparents not only slept in separate beds but also separate rooms. On my mothers side, because my grandfather liked to sleep with the window open, regardless the time of year or temperature outside. On my fathers ... they just didn't get along that well.
Fun

Research Info
If you contact me directly at gene@creativepro.com, I will be happy to give you some information about the booklet in question. Thanks. Gene
Fun!
I find it interesting that twin beds are even mentioned on radio plays from the era :-D
