Is a smaller bed the secret to a long-lasting marriage? Matthew McConaughey thinks so – Feng Shui experts unpack his theory, and why he might be onto something

Matthew mcconaughey on a plain background.

'The best thing you can / do for your / marriage / one way to surely / get ahead, / is get rid of that / king-­size mattress, / and sleep in a / queen-­size bed,' Matthew McConaughey writes in his new book, Poetry & Prayers. Okay, we're listening.

He expanded on his fascinating theory on how to choose the right-sized bed in an interview with Fox News Digital, stating: 'I wake up one morning … I'm looking over there and Camila's like a football field away, man. Then you go to bed at night, like you want to snuggle up and … "Come about 12 feet and I'll come 12 feet." You're like, man, this king-size bed is not good for the marriage, man. Get rid of that... So we got a queen size where we're shoulder to shoulder. I'm telling you, it's good for your marriage.'
