Thanks everyone for your experiences. Hmmm I'm thinking that four in a bed may be a bit unrealistic. We have been considering buying a king sized bed, but not if it won't be ample room for all of us.

Ash - I like your idea of having the single pushed up next to the queen - we could do that without having to buy a new bed. Sounds like a really easy transition for your DD. How did you encourage her to start sleeping in the single bed when it was still next to your bed?

Thanks again everyone, lots to think about.
