Because you sleep better when you don't notice your partner's every move, if you have separate mattresses.
And no fight about the blanket.

[agffans]

$1 = around 6.8 Kroner (Danish Crowns), while 1$ = around 90.9 Russian Rubles, so I guess everything is relative. The Danish currency is highly stable with 1 euro always being equal to just around 7.5 Danish kroner, while a weak currency (like the Russian ruble) is not, but all over the place, changing from day to day.

[Piquet]

Prices in Denmark aren’t actually that bad, you just have to go outside Copenhagen. I live in the third largest city in Denmark and everything is a whole lot cheaper here than it is in Copenhagen, especially housing.

[hagbard]

My husband’s mattress is much harder than mine because he is heavier. And he needs a much thinner blanket because he‘s always hot and I‘m always cold.
So I couldn’t imagine sharing. It would be so inconvenient.

[krasimirkirev]

Welcome to Europe, quality has got a price

[gabak]

Beds are separated because of different mattresses. Most of the people I know have different ones depending on if you have, for instance, a bad back. Or if one mattress is kaputt, it makes changing way easier and more or less cheaper

[nielsjosefsen]

As a dane. The bed is also expensive. I imagine. They bought a quality luxury one

[jettenielsen]

3 months rent as a security deposit is pretty standard

[uncle_matula]

It is totally incomprehensible to me that they build a modern city (Dallas) and essentially do not plan and build any public transport

[tokeeriksen]

The Danish currency is pegged to the Euro, so it's exactly as strong as the Euro. A currency being divided into smaller parts does not make it a weak currency. Just look at the Japanese Yen.

[krasimirkirev]

Denmark and all of of Scandinavia is very expensive, but very high standard of living too

[lillepind]

Keep in mind that Copenhagen is the capital and therefore more expensive than the rest of the country. Also, why would you not prefer having your own duvet?

[tw]

Well, she chose a really expensive bed.
My bed in Copenhagen was a hell of a lot cheaper. And it’s a good bed, too 😀

[HappyCatholicDane]

Currency strength and currency value are two different things. The currency value is more related to historical precedence, whereas strength is about stability.

The Danish currency has been pegged to first the German D-Mark and later the Euro since the 80’s. Meaning our currency value has gone up and down with those currencies. This policy is still in place. Since the kroner is an attractive currency, our interest rates are often slightly lower than the Eurozone ones. So it is a strong currency.

Inner city Copenhagen is very expensive, but it gets slightly more affordable as you get away from Copenhagen.

[Weise]

the danish currency DKK is linked directly to the euro, so its just as strong, just not 1 to 1 in conversion

[bnorth]

On the bed, that's a high-end bed and yeah those do go for more than a dime, in Denmark and Norway we got a few brands than do make really nice, if not perfect beds and they know that fact hence the price is set accordingly, likely also a few extra options to it think elevation/adjustable and so on. You can get same size with headboard for less than $1000 too, just like Finland.

[Bondemand]

I have a house of 120m² with 900m² of land, in a small town in Denmark. The price for such a house is around DKK 680, 000. (less than USD It takes me 15 minutes by train to the center of the nearest big city, so it's an OK location. It doesn't have to be expensive to live in Denmark, you just don't have to settle in the middle of the big cities. You cannot compare what she is talking about with how most Danes live. She has chosen to settle in one of the absolute most expensive areas of the country.

[Vakaria-plays]

The danish currency is strong but in a different way than the american dollar, it really depends on how you view it. The details cannot be specified in one comment as that would mean explaining an entire countrys economy and currency.

[Tullerkc]

Our beloved Børsen 😢😢it burned down last Thursday 💔💔💔

[Sqweebo]

I moved from Houston, to Copenhagen and will never return.
