The average bed will have been the host for 720 arguments, 3,640 cuddles and 120 breakfasts-in-bed in it's lifetime.
It will also have been there while you read 240 books, be used for 480 sex sessions and watched you have 4,160 kisses.
The study carried out by Dreamland found that our bed plays an important part in our relationships, and not just for obvious reasons.
Most couples will also have six arguments a month in bed, which equates to 720 over it's lifetime, with most of those being about hogging the duvet.
In the average ten year lifespan of a bed, people spend the equivalent of three and a half years in it.
However only two years and eight months of that is actually sleeping, with the rest of the time taken up relaxing, watching TV or having a steamy sex sessions.
The study also shows technology is invading our relaxing time making it a less relaxing place to be, as the average adult will send 14,600 texts from bed in that time.
On top of that they will spend over 70 days checking social networking sites, 38 hours and 50 minutes on the phone, and will send 4,160 emails from under the covers.
You will also spend 48 days in that ten years watching TV or DVDs in bed.
With the winter upon us, six out of ten us are hitting the sack earlier instead of putting the heating on – bringing our bed times forward by 28 minutes a night, whilst 19% of us are dragging our duvets to the sofa for a pre-bed snuggle.
