I think if you can afford it, go with the 'king size', it always the best.
For the first 2 weeks of my marriage. Me and my husband sleep in my single 'twin size' mattress bed. Yes, two adults sleep in one twin size bed, that is just awful!!
I live alone with a poodle, so this single twin size bed was what I always sleep in.... But now with hubby who is 6’1 in it. I have no space to twist and turn freely, so sometimes I accidently kick him during my sleep…. Being a petite 4'11 girl, my kick didn’t make him fall off the bed, but it does wake him up. He’s not even mad, he just smile and told me to go back to sleep.
Finally after 2 weeks, I talk hubby into bring his big bed to my place. Now we sleep more comfy; when he at work, I get to lay in his big bed, rolling around and playing with my laptop, Lol!
btw, the bed is big but it is not king size. We plan to get a 'king size' one when we buy our house; we be having enough money for house down-payment by the end of this year, Yah!! I prefer king size bed.
BUT even now with his bed, I still move and turns alot in sleep. The other night, I rolled around, and my arm accidently hit him. Not counting the times when I kick him too, Lol!
My husband is a light sleeper, he pretty much sleep in one position the whole night and he doesn’t move much….He is the “Street smart” type of guy so being a light sleeper is probably just his nature; he is quite alert too, little sound outside or little movement he would notice.
Usually with light sleeper, they easily awake by like everyting…. And he working 12-14 hours shift everyday, so he doesn't get full sleep all night, poor guy.
One time I had my leg on my husband's shoulder, I dunno how it got there. That must be a wide turn for a petite size girl like me, Lol!!….. Prfffff, wonder why he didn’t move my leg, and just let me sleep in that weird position, lol
It doesn't matter much how large you guys are; it's what you do in bed that influences your suitable bed size. Do you guys find yourselves rolling over while sleeping or mostly staying in one place throughout the sleep? If you both tend to stay still, a queen size is plenty. If on the other hand, either of you is a roller, then you definitely need a king. Since you find yourself at the edge of the bed quite often, I'm guessing you guys belong to the second type, and if so, a king size or even a larger size bed will be the best fit.
We have a queen. Our BR is large enough for a king in terms of dimensions, but in practice, it would be awkward due to the window locations. We have always had a queen and we have a ton of room. Neither of us are the type to sprawl out while asleep and the only other creature in bed with us is the cat.

We have a King sized bed and it's a big boy... we have a large bedroom so it works fine. We used to have our kitty and he would usually sleep next to me... and by that I mean we'd share a spine as I'd lay on my side and he'd be stretched out the entire length of my back he's stretch so long that he'd be as thin as rail.
He would practically be under me, if I moved a couple of degrees from 90 he'd have been dead, that's how attached he'd be to my back.......
My husband and I have always had a queen bed. It is big enough for us. I use king size flat sheets and blanket hogging is never an issue. Neither of us is small, really. Our room is large enough for a king bed, but we have just never desired one.
We've always had a full size bed, since that's about all we have room for. He's 5'9 and jacked, while I'm 4'10 and slight... and it can be a tight squeeze for us, mainly because I go to bed a lot later than he does, and by that time he's already sprawled out by that point. Otherwise it is enough room, so I can imagine a queen would be fine as well.
