Personally I think this is what comes of giving kids double or queen
beds to sleep in by themselves - they get used to more space and then
a regular sleeping space is too small.

Tsk, tsk. Spoil the children. Personally, I think an old Army folding cot
is good enough for them. We have a king size at home but have no trouble
sleeping in an athwartship berth in the aft cabin. There is the crawling
over one another when one gets up and the other doesn't, but we are used to
it. Guests sleep in the main saloon, which I hate. I would like them to
cram themseleves into the "forward stateroom," AKA V-berth. But only small
children consent to go there. Spare sails are under the V-berth and in a
cockpit locker so we manage to keep the space fairly clear except when
guests come aboard with enough luggage for a round the world trip. I hate
that too. We really do try to keep things neat, shipshape and tied down.
You don't have to go far offshore to have stuff start flying around.
