But it is not just the extratall whose needs are not being met.The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.
“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a kingsize bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for(满足需要) less than half of the male(男性) population.” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy,“Sevenfoot beds would work fine.”
Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems.Small tables, which mean the longlegged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.
Some have already taken note, however.At Queens Moat Houses' Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors,particularly Americans.
