I only have one bed, do harchakos of physically not sleeping together apply on Yom Kippur? Do I need to get a blow up mattress?

Yk separation is biblical. Not a minhag.
You need a separate bed😔

Its not "fun" - people without a womb don't get a period ( I have a friend like this, she had 2 kids thru surrogacy)

But my assumption is that she is away for sukkos and the vacation home or hotel room does not have two beds....

I had a hysterectomy for medical reasons at age 37. Therefore, I stopped being nida at a relatively young age. B"H I already had 4 children.

My in laws are past menopause. When they moved as seniors they brought the second bed with them to have just for Yom kipper.

Ever heard of menopause?
I didn't know that we need to separate the beds for y'k. That's new to me.

Menopause??? hysterectomy???
So many reasons why one would never be nidda.

Yeah I don't think you have to have an extra bed just for Yom Kippur unless you don't trust yourselves.
You can't be intimate though

No, on Yom Kippur you need to jeep harchakos even if you do trust yourselves.

You need another bed. It’s Halacha.

Pretty sure it doesn't work like that for YK and Tisha baav.
Of course OP should ask her Rav.
We will all be happy to hear for her otherwise.

So people who no longer get their periods have to keep an extra bed for 2 days a year? Ok I'm curious what the Rov will say. OP please let us know. If you have to do it then I'd just get a blow up bed

They need to have an alternative location for sleeping for two nights a year, yes.

I was told we do not need to keep all harchakos on Tisha B'Av, but yes on YK.

Post menopause, post hysterectomy,etc. Not everyone here is a fertile twenty-year-old.
