Pets are a part of the family. As such, they often demand prime sleeping real estate — well that is your bed!

Reddit user Robdogbird and his girlfriend are the proud of owners of five cats and two dogs, reports Mashable.com. Unfortunately, every single one of their snuggly pets wants to sleep on their bed, which wasn't large enough to accommodate such a menagerie.

The solution was both simple and daunting: create an enormous, 11-foot super-bed to fit their whole animal family and that is exactly what they did, reports Mashable.com.

The impressive bed was apparently achieved by pushing two mattresses together and then building a frame around them. As Robdogbird explained on Reddit:

We had the king spring mattress and wanted to try the memory foam but they are super expensive so we got full foam mattress. We also needed storage so we skipped bedframe and boxspring and framed out storage under it so we lined up height to make them even. The seam is noticeable when you lay across it but not nearly what you would think. Sheets are just one set full and one king, matching if we can find them. The comforters are just two full and cover it perfectly, also nice if she wants covers and I don't. Option for squishy spring or more firm foam is actually nice option.

All of the pets are clearly stoked to finally have a roomy bed for optimal bedtime cuddles.
