To feel concerned that my 5 year old…

puts his quilt and pillows on the floor every night and goes to sleep there instead of in his nice comfy bed?

Aw no that’s quite cute. I used to make little ‘dens’ to sleep in in various corners of my room and my brother was once found in the top of his wardrobe with his quilt 😂

Mine used to do this at 2-3yrs - then decided eventually to stay in their bed.

Wouldn’t worry at all about it.

My son had a hand built cabin bed built, at his request, when he was 7. A week later he made a den under it and slept there until he was 15! It was very cosy!

My son did it and my brother used to do it too. On that basis, I’ve assumed it was an entirely normal thing for small boys to do!

My 6 year-old son does this. My son says it's cooler on the floor.

I have a mattress on the floor too for my ds4

Nah. Leave him to it.

Shocking

Yep all my boys did this

What are you actually concerned about? My 9yo frequently sleeps on the landing and has done for years

I used to do this! Like @JanBlues2026. Lined up my teds and made myself a little nest on the floor. I'm 51 now. The dog thinks I should revisit this era - he wants the good pillows. Not happening.

Nothing to worry about @Flower836385 x

I used to climb into my large chest of drawers with my blanket and I have no idea why.

I remember my sister keeping me awake so I took my duvet and pillow and went to sleep on the floor outside my parents' room so I didn't wake them. I'm still not sure why they told me off and sent me back to my room.

My DH said he had a little cupboard above the stair box in his childhood bedroom and used to sleep in it.

DD used to do this. She grew out of it.
