We’ve all been there, and by ‘there’ we mean a camp bed in the spare bedroom next to the ironing board.
At this time of year, most of us will be heading back to spend Christmas with the parents, in-laws or extended family – it’s what this time of year is all about.
But you’re a grown-up now and have probably moved out of your childhood home, which means that you can never quite be sure where exactly you’re going to end up sleeping. It could be a nice, tidy bedroom, or it could be a pile of coats in the laundry room.
For the past few years, Rhodri Marsden (@rhodri on Twitter) has been collecting and retweeting people’s awkward, unusual and often bizarre sleeping arrangements when returning home for Christmas.
Here are a few of the weirdest and least-comfortable looking beds and ‘beds’ you’ve ever seen.
