full size corner bed vs queen corner bed

The one down side to a small C to me is the corner bed, and have been going back and forth over a slide with a full queen, or try to sleep in the overhead queen until I noticed the newer units have a 60x80 in queen vs the 54 in full. My question is with the larger corner queen does it make it easier to get up to go to the bathroom several times a night, compared to the full size corner bed. I would be sleeping on the left side.

Corner queens usually have a smaller shower , like 30” wide. Thats fine for us being we spend a few minutes in the shower and 8 hrs in the bed.

Find a corner bed floorplan with a corner bathroom that has the sink vanity outside of the toilet and shower compartment. That offers you a shorter wall and makes it a lot easier to get out of bed when you sleep on the inside and not the window side.

As for making the bed , we had a few TC’s and learned fast enough to NOT make the bed. Just leave a decorative fitted bottom sheet in place and pillows. Fold your blankets snd top sheet at the bottom of the bed until you need them. No need to MAKE a bed.

We just replaced the original, 9 year old, queen innerspring corner bed mattress. Our new one is 10" high and a full 60 X 80". I found the mattress, a Signature Sleep on Amazon for $229 and it is a combination of innerspring and sleep comfort material on both sides making it a candidate for flipping as needed over time. It came vacuum sealed which simplified moving up into the coach and in place on the bed platform. Once the plastic was cut away it expanded to its full 10" height in about 24 hours

Getting out of bed for a late night bathroom run has never been a problem. We keep a small folding stool at the foot of the bed which makes stepping up into or down out of the bed much easier. I sleep on the left {curb side with the head of our bed at the rear of the coach} and all that is involved is to move the blanket{s} off of me followed by a simple sit up. I scooch my butt forward about a foot and step down onto the stool. Returning is just a step up and crawl back under the covers. IMHO: The difficulty of making a nocturnal bathroom run is greatly exaggerated.

Making the bed is PITA vs a walk around but once it is made you are done as flipping the bedding back in place when you get up could not be simpler. A walk around queen in any coach under 30' will cost you far more in terms of lost space/storage than you will ever gain.

My bride and I are 70 and 69, reasonably fit and thoroughly enjoy a good nights sleep {my occasional snoring not withstanding}.

Honestly for me the smaller fullsize bed is easier to get out of for bathroom visits - there is less crawling required to get off the bed.

But as mentioned, corner beds are a pain to make.

I have mild claustrophobia and some corner beds are too confined for me in general.

I sleep in the cabover bed and other than making the bed, I prefer it. But mine is a 1975 and has the windows on all three sides of the cabover so I don't feel claustrophobic.

I suggest visiting a couple RVs on the lot and try climbing out of the beds. Go with what works best for you.

Conner beds are not my cup of tea! They are really hard to make up, and if your on the inside, hope you can sleep the entire night without waking up!

And making a corner bed every morning isn't easy.
