My wife and I sleep in the same bed but have king bed with two twin duvet covers. This approach splits the difference for us since no one is pulling on the covers

My parents were together for 63 years. Mom said she never slept well when he was home (he snored), and Dad said he never slept well when he was on the road, away from her.
