I agree with Fairygirl as I'm small as well. I found I can't quite reach the middle of our new beds, and it doesn't help either that my OH made them 3 planks high! We must be very posh as I bought him the round finials to go on the top of the corner posts! Just for a laugh really.
I use 1m beds, because that's what I can easily reach across. mine are not raised as such, but still the principle holds, mock up two edges and see if you can comfortably reach the middle, move the edges until you get a width that works for you.
