Family of five sleep in same giant bed - "we get the best sleep"

A mom who shares a bed with her entire family says it's "not weird at all" - but the reason they have such a close bond and get the best night's sleep.

Cassey Bly, 29, has co-slept with her three children - aged three, four and six - alongside her husband, Forrest, 29, a wholesale distributor, since they were born after she struggled to get them down on their own.

But, six years on, the couple still snuggle up beside their brood - who are down before 9 pm every night - with the husband and the two oldest kids on one mattress and the mum and youngest on the other.

The mom-of-three says her children, Ellovie, Igzy, and Ruca, all have their own bedrooms and beds but have always opted to get into her two queen-sized beds that are pushed together to create a mammoth 6'5 x 13ft sized bed.

Cassey and her husband are adamant they have found the "perfect parenting hack for a night's sleep" - insisting they aren't ever woken in the night by their kids, who have all slept through since the age of two, and have slammed those who criticise their co-sleeping method.

The couple believes their family "shares a closer bond" because of how they sleep and that it has "made life easier."
