For some couples, the solution for too much pandemic togetherness is saying good night on Valentine’s Day in a bigger bed where they don’t need to touch.

After nearly two years of working from home and sharing close quarters with spouses, kids and pets, people are tossing out their full- and queen-size beds in favor of more spacious kings.

Robert Pagano and his girlfriend, Tracy Jones, weighed the pros and cons of switching to a king from a queen last year. The couple, who live in Las Vegas, had been getting on each other’s nerves when they were stuck working from home.

“We hoped a bigger bed would help us avoid arguments,” Mr. Pagano said. “But we were worried the extra space would lead to less cuddling.”

They took the plunge and haven’t regretted their decision. “The extra space is great, and there is still a lot of cuddling,” said Mr. Pagano, who is 32 years old and is the co-founder of a mattress review website. He said he has noticed an uptick during the pandemic of people searching his website for larger beds.
