Celebrities co-sleep too, even with school-age children

We found 196 celebrities across 32 countries who talked about co-sleeping with their children in interviews, podcasts and their own posts on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok between 2007 and 2026. We checked every statement against its source to confirm that the person said or wrote it. These are their own views and experiences, and none of them speak on behalf of FamBed.

118 vs 8Of the 167 statements from interviews and the media, 118 support co-sleeping and 8 oppose it. 34 are both for and against it, and 7 are neutral.
54of the 167 statements concern children aged 6 or over

What this means

  • Many of the celebrities' statements concern school-age children, and some concern teenagers.
  • Most celebrities speak positively about co-sleeping, but some oppose it.
  • The celebrities' statements reflect their views and experiences, not how many people co-sleep.

We found 11 celebrities from United Kingdom who have spoken about co-sleeping with their children. 5 of them appear on the quote wall in their own words.

What celebrities say

In their own words, with the media outlet and date. The wall features 48 statements. We do not reproduce statements about grief, separation or illness, or any that are unsuitable for reproduction for other reasons. We have removed the children's names and do not show any images.

This list includes celebrities whose statements we do not quote on the wall, for example because they concern babies, do not mention the child's age, or offer advice without discussing their own family. Each entry includes their name, country, what they are known for and a link to the source.

How big are celebrities' beds?

Shown from above, the beds are drawn as the celebrities and other public figures themselves have described them, using the same scale as a standard 180 x 200 cm double bed. “1.5 x” means the bed is one and a half times as wide as a double bed.

How we calculated it

Who is included: Public statements made by celebrity parents themselves. 167 statements from interviews, podcasts and the media were checked against the original sources again on 28/10, 30/10 and 4/11-2026. Statements that could not be verified were not counted. We found 31 celebrities through their own public posts on Instagram, TikTok and blogs (30/10-2026). We have not categorised them as for or against, so they are not included in the 118 versus 8 figures.

Not included: Posts that are paid adverts for FamBed or other bed and mattress brands.

Hans Lindberg is on the list because his family described their sleeping arrangements on DR's Kender du typen? (2025). We have not been able to watch the programme ourselves, so he is not included in the figures.

The wall and the list do not show statements about grief, separation, illness or children's privacy, or any children's names. The figures at the top count all 196 celebrities, including the 18 we therefore do not show. The figures on the country buttons count the celebrities shown on the wall and the list.

Measurements: Where a bed's length is not specified, it is shown as 200 cm long. For Kim Feenstra's bed, it is unclear which measurement is the width. Jeanne Lindstrøm's bed measures 210 x 210 cm, with a 90 cm mattress alongside it. Cellina Martinna describes her sister's bed as 4.10 m long, and Jeanne Lindstrøm calls hers a “3-metre-long family bed”; we show both measurements as widths. Yvonne Laborda writes “casi 4 metros” (almost 4 metres), shown as 400 cm. Patricia Kraft's family bed is not included because two sources give different measurements.
