Wager of Weights

So embarrassing story, I wrote the bulk of this in 2019 and apparently had it like, almost complete?? I don’t know why I didn’t finish it then, but I cleaned it up and got it all ready to go because, while perhaps not totally reflective of my current work, there’s no point in tossing it down the drain. I will also say it’s not totally what I usually write, and my first time writing a lot of the content present in it, so it may also not be the best? But I’m a harsh judge of my own work haha. To clarify, this was (and still is) a gift for @pangtasias-atelier all the way when they were still Kink of the Emblem. And really I have to give him a lot of thanks for helping me grow this blog in the first place, so thanks for that. If you are somehow following me but not him, do that because he makes some good stuff (and comms good stuff too). And if you’re reading this right now- You’re awesome dude, love your work, and I hope you enjoy it!

It was no secret that the Summoner played favorites, and those favorites were Grima and Tibarn. One or the other was usually found by his side, and at times even both. But the problem had laid in the fact that there were two favorites...and one summoner. Tibarn didn’t seem to mind too much about this. So, perhaps more accurately, the problem laid with Grima.

Grima was a controversial figure among the heroes themselves- something of the territory coming with being an ancient dragon with little to no regard for human life. The Summoner had pacified Grima into being passive-aggressive to most of the others...Though Tibarn usually faced the aggressive half.

Grima had been feeling particularly vitriolic on this day. The Summoner had gone out on patrol without either him or Tibarn, leaving the two in awkward coexistence. “You know, if this vessel had the muscle your body had, I’m almost certain the summoner would enjoy my company much more. Enough to leave you behind.” “Really now?” As said, Tibarn didn’t mind the venomous words. He viewed the fell dragon as a bit of a blowhard, never really giving it too much thought. The guy thought he was on top of the world, and as a nigh impotent god he sort of was.

“Almost certainly.” Grima retorted, unaware of what he was starting here.

“Hmm...Well, why not a competition?” A good challenge had presented itself to Tibarn, he wasn’t about to miss the chance. “Me and you- We work ourselves harder than ever. We both commit ourselves to getting stronger and stronger, and see if your little theory there holds up.” “Deal.” Not a moment of hesitation from Grima. “I’ll come out on top- just you watch.” The King of Phoenicis grinned at this. It would be an interesting challenge at the least.

Tibarn only needed to ramp up his standard workout. A little more weight. A little more time spent doing it. The rewards of this weren’t immediately noticeable, but as the days rolled on his pecs seemed to bulge ever slightly more, abs right along with them. His thighs and calves refined to a great extent, looking in shape enough to crack stone. Biceps nearly tearing apart his sleeves, Tibarn finding himself needing more bandage to cover his arm to his liking.

Even his silhouette- already intimidating from a good height and wingspan, seemed to grow ever further. A few inches on both his height and wings. His clothes constrained ever so slightly more to contain his greater apex form.

Grima had a more interesting growth period. The vessel he inhabited needed no sustenance as long as he controlled it, and similarly had a nigh boundless energy pool, meaning that it was simply what effort he was willing to put into the competition. To self improve took valuable time away from being at the Summoner’s side, but not doing it would give the hawk a free victory, and Grima hated that even more.

The growth he had was more dramatic than Tibarn’s, but ultimately he could only just catch up. Just a few inches under the laguz, just able to lift a bit less than what Tibarn could, and most frustratingly seeing that the Summoner hadn’t actually changed who they spent the most time with. Proving Grima’s theory wrong. This had frustrated the dragon to no end, how could he possibly be wrong?

But during a session, where he attempted to still catch up to Tibarn, it dawned on him. He didn’t necessarily need to beat the hawk king, no. It was futile at this point, not without submitting himself further to this...mortal regimen. No, all Grima needed to do was drag Tibarn behind! And drag him very, very far behind.

Tibarn already ate quite a bit, and having a rigorous training session now only seemed to increase his appetite. Which made it exceptionally easy to slip in a curse or two on some meat. But Grima wasn’t about to make it obvious. This would be a slow burn.

At first, Tibarn’s gains seemed to stagnate. Simply stopped growing. At a glance, someone would think that he had hit the apex. He just couldn’t improve anymore. Though once a slight layer of pudge formed near his waistline, it was clear he hadn’t only stopped his growths- he was degrading.

Each passing day, Tibarn seemed to be gaining more and more weight. Getting wider rather than taller, his clothes ill-fitting not because of burgeoning muscle, but fat. With the greater weight, his workouts had become too laborious to follow up on, which certainly didn’t help the sudden expansion. Soon constrained to the ground, too heavy to even be lifted by his wings the slightest bit.

All the while Grima watched with sadistic satisfaction. Tibarn’s body swelled by the day, the laguz undoubtedly having lost at this point. Grima’s vessel had grown significantly- past Tibarn’s form before he had laid the curse. His shirt hardly fit, more akin to a crop top, and the cloak that had once only been an inch or two from the ground was now hovering near a foot. If Grima’s simple status as the fell dragon hadn’t kept people away before, his pinnacle form sure had now. His mere presence exuded a terrifying aura, though this once again didn’t keep away the summoner.

By chance, Grima had encountered Tibarn one day. Whom was waddling now, something that Grima took some amusement in. “I...I don’t know what happened.” He admitted, a slight jiggle to his two chins. “It would appear I’ve surpassed you.” Grima said with a smug cadence. “And indeed, the Summoner spends more time at my side.”

“Right…” Tibarn wasn’t exactly sure how true that was, but he couldn’t argue that Grima had indeed beaten him at this point.

A few more moons, and the hawk could no longer be found waddling through the halls. Apparently he had grown too large to even move. Music to Grima’s ears.

Until he noticed something. The summoner had started to periodically disappear throughout the day- not off to battle clearly, not with the food he was carrying. With Grima’s interest piqued, he tailed the Summoner, managing to not be noticed even with his larger size. Not the first thing on his mind, as he was far more frustrated with the destination. Tibarn’s dwelling.

It was back to the drawing board for Grima once more. He simply did not understand. He had undermined Tibarn to immobility...Exceeded his body. What was he getting wrong? There was a piece of the puzzle missing...and it dawned on him once more.

The Summoner hadn’t gone out of his way to see Tibarn before the laguz had been grounded.

Grima had been trying too hard all along. And in doing this, had let Tibarn win the adoration of the Summoner, though it was still soon enough to steal this victory back. For every curse the dragon had laid, he always had a solution.

Night had fallen, and Grima’s final plot was being enacted. With no pesky heroes to gawk at him or see where he was going at this hour, nor the summoner’s watchful eye, the path to where Tibarn’s massive form slept was simple to traverse.

Grima would admit, he never got a good look at the hawk king after that last brief conversation. So seeing Tibarn now was something of a shock. His body had overtaken the bed, though calling it a “bed” was a bit of an overstatement. More like mattresses to keep something between the floor and the laguz. It took Grima a moment to make out limbs and a head.

It would’ve been amusing, if it wasn’t so effective at getting the summoner’s attention. But that privilege would not be Tibarn’s for much longer. A glow to his eyes and hands, he began to cast the spell. The giant tanned mass seemed to rumble, beginning a transformation, or rather, a reversion. Though this didn’t rouse the still slumbering Tibarn. Meanwhile, Grima’s form began to change- his set of washboard muscles beginning to disappear, as a gut formed in its place.

With the counter curse successfully placed, Grima could leave the room satisfied. As the hawk shrunk like a deflating balloon, the dragon’s vessel did the opposite- body expanding every which way as he returned to his own chambers. Thighs now beginning to chafe, clothes straining to contain the stolen fat. Seams popping and tearing, a smug grin on his plump face.

In the morning, Tibarn awoke, like a weight was lifted off of him. Quite literally: He could move once more. And not just move at a waddle- His adonis form had been completely returned to him. How, Tibarn wasn’t sure. But his inner laguz instincts were happy about it, ready to return to the battlefield that very day.

Though one hero was not very ready to join Tibarn out in the battlefield, which was Grima. His body anchored firmly down within his dwelling, only able to make the slightest movements as he looked down upon the summoner. Just as immobile as Tibarn had been a few hours prior.

“Summoner, it’s quite terrible!” He said in a casual, almost mocking tone. “I simply woke up like this. I certainly can’t go out to fight in this state...or leave this chamber at all.”

That wasn’t Grima’s concern. Sure, he had certainly lost the wager he had made with Tibarn, but that was all worthless in retrospect. No, the look of awe on the Summoner’s face- That was all Grima needed to know he had won.

Find The Right Fit With These Bed Buying Tips

King? Queen? Full? It may sound like a confusing card game, but when it comes to finding the right mattress, knowing your stuff about bed sizes is crucial. Mattress size is key when it comes to a good night’s sleep. Even if the bed is comfortable, getting to a restful state may be challenging if your feet are hanging off the end or you’re worried about rolling off the side.

Finding your size

Mattresses are usually available in six common sizes, ranging from the slender twin to the expansive Super King. Finding your personal fit and matching it to your preferences can improve your sleep and help you feel amazing in the morning. For maximum comfort, buy the largest mattress your bedroom will allow.

King vs. Super King

If you keep waking up with your feet hanging over the edge of the bed, you’re probably not getting the restful sleep you need. Traditional mattress sizes may not offer enough length for taller people, and width must also be considered if the tall sleeper shares the bed with a partner.

King and Super King mattresses offer the same amount of space – just proportioned differently. Measuring 200x200 cm, a Super King is longer and wider than a standard King.

The Super King is also best suited for larger rooms, especially when you may want more space on either side of the bed. The Super King mattresses are perfect for taller people and pair well with an adjustable base.

Time to upgrade

Twin beds are a mainstay in childhood bedrooms, but kids grow quickly. So when is the right time to invest in something a bit bigger?

Full mattresses are great for guest rooms and kids’ bedrooms - adding that both adults and teenagers enjoy the size because it allows for plenty of room to spread out without taking up too much space in a smaller area. They’re also compatible with adjustable bases for ultimate comfort.

Options for every sleep style

Everyone has their own unique way of sleeping, and no one mattress is perfect for everybody. Back sleepers require support that can be felt evenly along the length of their body. However, side sleepers are more likely to experience discomfort in the hips and shoulders from an unsupportive mattress and need a bed with cushioning that conforms to the body’s curves and relieves pressure. Stomach sleepers benefit from a firmer mattress that stabilizes the torso.

Whether you’re a side, stomach or back sleeper, you need to have a size that won’t allow your feet to hang off and give you enough space for just you or you and your partner. That’s one of the reasons why it’s so important to test out the mattresses the way you would actually sleep.

King vs. California King – What’s The Difference?

In the world of King sized beds, the Standard King and the California King are the most popular. The California King is narrower and slightly longer than a Standard King sized bed – losing 4″ off the sides and adding 4″ to the length.

So, why would you want a CA King over a Standard King? And when should you stick with the traditional size? Read on for our guide to each.

Not sure what size bed you need? Check out our complete Mattress Dimensions Guide

The Basics

Standard (or Eastern) King:

Who is this ideal for?

A King bed tends to be one of the best options suited for couples. In fact, it is the equivalent of each person sleeping in their own Twin XL bed (pushed together).

The King bed offers each person 8” more space than a Queen sized bed. This makes it ideal for Master Bedrooms. It may even be too large for some individuals.

California (Western) King:

Who is this ideal for?

This bed is called a California King because of its popularity on the West Coast, according to the Better Sleep Council. It’s narrower than a Standard King by 4″ and longer by 4″. This bed is typically a good fit for people want more width than a Queen but are really focused on extra length – they may have a narrow but long room or be an especially tall person or couple.

Other Size Options

Split King:

Similar to a Standard King – but 2” wider – and split down the middle.

You Might Choose

King If…

You want to stretch out. While it comes down to personal preference, many couples opt for a King size bed over a Queen or even a California King. In a King, each person gets 38″ of space on each side and each person gets 36″ with a California King. Basically, you’re going to get the most space per person in a King over any other bed.

California King If…

You’re looking for a Master Bedroom bed that is longer than it is wider. An easy way to think of the difference between a King and CA King is if you took off 4″ of width on a king and added 4″ of length to the bottom of the bed. Since the CA King is longer than the King, it’s a great option for narrow bedrooms, where you want as much width possible but a little additional length is better for space.

You or your partner are pretty tall. You get an extra 4″ of length in the CA King, making the total length of the bed 84″. Sometimes these additional 4″ can make a big difference to a taller person – especially if that person hates to have his/her feet hanging off the end of the bed.

Either If…

You’re upgrading your Master Bedroom. King and CA King sized beds tend to be the best fit for larger master bedrooms, where there is plenty of space not only for your bed but all your additional pieces of furniture and accessories.

You’ve got the budget for it. When shopping for mattresses, King and CA King sizes tend to be the same price, and they’re typically the most expensive. You’ll also need to save money for a new frame and sheets that match whichever size you pick.

Things To Consider

Below are some tips and things to think about before you make your next purchase.

Measure your space beforehand. Mattress and bed shopping can get overwhelming quickly. You could feel pressured to make a purchase in order to get a good deal, so you’ll want to have all your measurements and know what size you want before heading out to shop. It’ll pay off by being a less stressful experience once you get the bed home!

Leave room for movement. An article from Th!ngz Contemporary Living says that most designers will recommend 30″ of space around your bed for movement. If you’re going to a King or CA king, you will want to make sure the bed doesn’t engulf the whole room.

Consider how you’ll get your bed into the room. Even if it’s compressed and in a box, a King or CA King sized mattress or bed is going to be sizeable and will need more than one hand to get inside a house or an apartment, up a flight of stairs or down a hallway. Be prepared to enlist a friend or family member to help if needed.

Read the warranty. Upgrading to a King or CA King bed can be a big financial investment. If you’re looking for a new mattress, read the warranties carefully. They usually only cover manufacturer defects or issues with workmanship. This means that if you don’t like your mattress you can’t just return it through the warranty. Check to see if there is a separate return policy or trial offer with your bed that will minimize the risk.

Overall

When it comes to choosing between a King versus a California King bed, it’s really going to come down to whether the dimensions of a King best suit you/your partner/room. Or will the slightly narrower but longer dimensions of the California King be a better fit? Fortunately, both beds tend to be the same price and they’ll typically be the most expensive option out of all the beds.

If you can take your time to measure your room, double check that budget and comparison shop for deals, you may be able to find the perfect bed for you!

The Ultimate Mattress Size Chart and Bed Dimensions Guide

Intuitively, the different sizes of beds seem easy enough to understand, right? The truth is, choosing the right size of your mattress can be more complicated than you may think. Does it fit nicely in my bedroom? Is there enough leg room? And many other.

To help you make the best decisions when selecting a mattress, we’ve put together a summary of the most common measurements you will see online and in a store so you can have an idea if it’s a perfect fit for you and your bedroom.

Common Bed Size Dimensions Comparison

TypeSize (Inches)Suitable For Small Single or Cot 30 x 75Babies and toddlers Twin38 x 75Kids that have outgrown their cribs and single adults living in smaller apartments. It's also great for daybed or bunk bed. Twin XL38 x 80Kids and taller adults and those who want to use an adjustable bed frame Full54 x 75Good for a single sleeper or someone with children or pets and couples that do not require a lot of leg room. Full XL54 x 80More than enough for single sleeper and for couples that need more leg room but can not accommodate queen size due to bedroom limitations. Queen60 x 80Frequent choice and a perfect size for most couples that do not need a lot of sleeping space. If you plan to sleep alone this is more than enough. Olympic Queen66 x 80Six Inches wider than a standard queen, it makes it nice for someone who doesn't want to upgrade all the way to king.

Small Single Bed (Cot) Dimensions

These mattresses are designed for cribs. It can also serve as toddler beds in most cases once your baby outgrows the cot. Typical measurements are 30” width and 75” length.

Twin Bed Dimensions

A typical single, twin or bunk mattresses are 38” width x 75” length. You’d be hard pressed to find a bed that is any smaller than this one, other than that of a toddler bed or crib.

Typically this is ideal for children who have outgrown cribs and toddler beds, and who are now ready to graduate to a larger mattress.

Additionally, for those who sleep in cramped quarters, who have small rooms or who share a room with a sibling or roommate, Twin beds are an ideal choice. Day beds, bunk beds, dorm room beds or those found in the guest room often use this type.

What is important to note about a Twin bed versus a larger toddler bed, is that comfort is taken more into account. It’s common that, once you reach the Twin size, more quality materials are used, and more engineering centered on comfort takes place. This is because, the older we get, the more we consider comfortable sleeping to be a necessity.

Twin XL

There are subcategories of double beds to consider as well. The Twin XL is typically 80” L while still maintaining the 38” W. If you’re an adult looking for a bed that saves space and still is a comfortable choice, an XL Twin may be perfect for you.

Can I use Twin XL mattress on a King Size Bed Frame?

Yes, you can use two double/twin XL beds in a king frame. If you are in a relationship where one partner requires a different firmness than the other, usually end up being big fans of this setup. This is because Two XL beds can fit snugly alongside each other within a King sized bed frame.

This is good to know for partners who are tired of the fluffiness or firmness of their spouse’s mattress.

Full Bed Dimensions

Full-size mattress measures 54’ width x 75” in length, and these are also commonly referred to as “standard double.” Sufficient for adults that need more room than what a Twin can offer.

If you are in a relationship, this may not be the best choice for you, as the fit will be exceedingly tight. Likewise, if you have a dog, cat, or you have a child that sleeps next to you, you may want to consider a wider option.

Full (Double) XL

A XL option is 54” x 80” giving you an extra 6 inches of leg space. If you do not require extra width but want some more room for your legs this is a perfect option.

Queen Bed Dimensions

Queen size mattresses are 60” width x 80” length. Ideal for almost anyone, in that it’s long enough and wide enough to suit most any sleeper. For those who sleep with their spouse, child or pet, it might be perfect for you.

When thinking about these larger types, it becomes necessary to consider the living space. These take up much more room than the Twin or the Full, and thus, the ability to freely move around the bedroom may become restricted.

If you have a larger bedroom, then this won’t be a factor for you.

Olympic Queen

These are slightly wider and measure at 66”W x 80” L. Olympic queen is perfect for taller individuals, but you don’t want to upgrade all the way to King, but you could use some more width.

King Bed Dimensions

A standard King size mattress is 76” in width and 80” in length. It’s recommended that you do not opt for this option unless your room is at least 12×12. This is a perfect option for couples who sleep with their kids or pets and want more sleeping room for themselves.

If you want to compare this to other options, King is same as 2x Twin XL.

A nice fact is that box springs are split for this type, and it makes it easier to carry around and maneuver.

California King Bed Dimensions

The California King mattress is 72” W x 84” L making it one of the biggest options on the market. It’s perfect for active sleepers, tall people and couples with kids or pets. Cal King is 4” longer but 4” narrower when compared to a standard King.

It is recommended that you have a large room of at least 12’x12’.

Bedroom Size Requirements

Ok, so you have decided that you need a new bed. But, can you actually put it in your room and still be able to open the door and walk around it?

Let’s take a look at the following illustrations showing how certain mattress sizes will fit in your room.

How a Queen type bed looks in a 12x12 foot room.

How a queen bed fits in a 10x10 foot bedroom

How a King sized bed fits in a 10x10 foot bedroom

Conclusion

When trying to find the right mattress size to fit the needs of you or your family, these are a few things to have in mind.

First, if you’re planning on upgrading, make sure you know the dimensions of your current bed. You wouldn’t want to shop for a larger option and accidentally choose the same type.

Second, if you’re moving, don’t forget to measure the room that you’ll be sleeping in. It is awful to have a mattress that is too big for space. You’ll have issues getting around the room, and your space won’t be as aesthetically pleasing.

Third, who will be sleeping in it? If it’s just you, you are good to go with a Double. But, if you have a spouse, kids or pets you might want to opt for a larger option such as Queen. King is the ultimate comfort size if your room can accommodate it.
