Is this idea ridiculous?

I'm going away to an event with a group. 7 people, two couples, two women, one man. We've had our hotels booked for ages and availability is now non existent because of the event.

The couples each have a room, I'm sharing with the other woman and single man has booked a single room (is apparently also a dreadful snorer, this may be relevant).

Another friend who would have liked to come but had a work commitment is now available. He's a married man, often comes to these things with us. His wife is lovely and they have lots of trips together, but she doesn't enjoy these trips so doesn't come.

So, the room I'm occupying with female friend has been booked as a twin. It has a double bed, plus a single.

Would it be really stupid to offer that we women share the double and the man can bunk in with us?

I wouldn't offer if it was just me, out of respect for his wife, but if he's sharing with both of us? He hasn't asked but I know he'd like to come.

The worry about him being a married man is baffling to me. It’s privacy and personal space that are the issues, not the idea that anything might go on between you all.

You and your friend aren’t 20.
Your friend doesn’t know this man

Even if I was very happy to share what is likely a small hotel room with a man, I would never put my friend in the position of me asking her if she was ok with sharing a room and bathroom with a man she’s never met before.

Friend does know the man, he's a regular feature on these trips, he just couldn't initially make this one.
