Growing trend according to whom?

  "from my experience" - people in my circles, mainly, but it's a topic I see in popnews areas more than I used to. http://www.today.com/health/happily-united-separate-rooms-why-my-husband-i-sleep-apart-1D80287458 http://www.today.com/health/happily-united-separate-rooms-wh... http://www.builddirect.com/blog/why-more-couples-are-sleeping-in-separate-beds/ http://www.builddirect.com/blog/why-more-couples-are-sleepin... http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/09/12/lw.sleep.alone.when.married/ http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/09/12/lw.sleep.alone... From that link: The preference for separate spaces has even begun to affect home design. According to the National Association of Home Builders, there's been a steady increase in the number of requests for "two-master bedroom" homes since 1990, prompting the organization to predict that by 2015, 60 percent of all custom upscale homes will be built with two "owner suites." It's now 2016, and I don't suspect 60% are being built that way, but a realtor I spoke with last year says it's a topic that comes up with some of her home buyers, although it's never been a dealbreaker. Granted, that article was from 2008, and we had a major recession in there, which may have reaffected architectural planning.

  I've seen a few articles on it recently, and know of at least one couple in my social network that does separate beds. It seems like my grandparents' generation slept in separate beds a lot, my parents' generation swung to the single bed model, and in my generation single bed is still more common but awareness of sleep issues is leading to some people starting to try out separate beds again.
