Is this weird?

Im a single parent to 2 dcs age 18 and 16 living in a 3 bed house. All 3 bedrooms are quite small, 2 are just big enough for double beds and the 3rd is a box room.

16 yo son (now 6ft 2) is currently in the smallest room in a loft bed with gaming desk below. He is now too big for it and im trying to come up with solutions . One idea I had was to put a single day bed in there and make it into a sort of chill out room/bedroom for me. I dont need the space in the bedroom as I only go up there to sleep while dcs spend a lot of time in their rooms.

Ive mentioned this to a friend and my mum and they think its odd that I would sleep in a single bed and let my 16 year old have my double. Im happy to give up the space for him given how big he is. Is this a completely weird setup?

Yes, because he is 6ft 2, and you have few choices.
