Do I NEED a bedroom?

Ok so I live in a 3 bedroom house and me and my husband have 3 children. 2 boys and 1 girl and age gaps of 4 and 5 years.

I'm now thinking should we give them all a room of their own each and me and my husband get a good quality sofa bed and just sleep downstairs and not have a bedroom?

The kids play in their rooms however we only sleep in our bedroom. I'd keep our wardrobes and clothes in the largest room still as it is. Has anyone ever done this?

My friend turned her dining room.into her bedroom to give her kids a decent sized room. She was a lone parent.

If mine ever moan about having the smallest room I remind them that I share with their dad. Forgoing a bedroom of my own that I share with someone so they got a room all to themselves was never going to happen.
You pay for the house so you deserve a decent space yourself.
