Four in five who express a view support co-sleeping
We reviewed 10,790 comments on FamBed's own Facebook, Instagram and TikTok posts, ads and videos from December 2023 to October 2026. Of these, 3,538 clearly express support for or opposition to the idea of sleeping together as a family, rather than commenting on the bed itself, its price or delivery. The comments reflect the views of the people who wrote them, not those of all parents.
What this means
- Most people who express a view are positive about the whole family sleeping together.
- When critics mention someone, they refer to the adults, such as their sex lives and sleep, more often than the children.
- The comments come from people who have seen FamBed's posts. They are not a representative sample of all parents.

How we calculated it
The method, in FamBed's own words: “FamBed reviewed 10,790 comments posted on the company's own posts and ads on Facebook and Instagram, as well as under all 22 of the company's TikTok videos. The comments were posted between December 2023 and October 2026, with nine out of ten posted from September 2025 onwards. After excluding comments consisting solely of tags, emojis or short single words, 7,223 comments were coded by two independent AI models using a fixed coding framework (85% agreement), with a third model acting as the judge when they disagreed. The comments are not a representative sample of the population.”
How confident are we? Two AI models read each comment independently and agreed on its stance in 84.7% of cases (kappa 0.77, a measure of agreement). The 10,790 comments are the ones we retrieved; the platforms' own counts are higher because they also count FamBed's replies and deleted comments.
The three views: “Without ads” excludes comments on ads because ads are shown to selected groups, which may affect who comments. “People who co-sleep” means people who say they co-sleep with their children or have done so in the past (280 comments).
The critical comments: All 680 critical comments were reviewed again by two independent readers, with a third acting as adjudicator, to determine whether they mention the adults' lives or the children.
