Tiny sleeps in the bed with me and my boyfriend and he is a bog boy...He weighs like 200 lbs...He's a lot of muscle though...But I have never had a problem with crushing him...And He even sleeps under the covers the entire night? I dunno what you should do...He will know to move, if someone rolls on him...Trust me...A plus if you don't like the idea of letting him sleep in the bed...Then bring his crate into the room with you. Let him sleep next to you in the crate....That should stop the headphones and sleepless nights. They just wanna be near you thats all...Specially when they are spolied as bad as alllllllll of our baby's!!!
