Top bunk or bottom bunk?

Whether as a kid or as a camper or as an Army cadet. Always been a bottom-bunk person myself.

If you don't get the bed you want, tell me what got you down, bunkie.

 

Is this like hard or soft option?

 

My first college bunk was a bottom. I got it because I arrived last.
My roommate would have sex in the middle of the night - that was how I began my adventures as one of the eager young minds of tomorrow.

 

Top. I had the top bunk as a freshman, because when I got to the room one of the other girls who picked one of the bottoms. It was a quad and I didn't want to leave only the top for the other two girls. So I took the top which I loved. And then the next year sometimes we bunk our beds and sometimes we didn't but I was always on top when we bumped. I didn't mind climbing up.

 

Upper, at home and again at college my sophomore year when we bunked our beds so we could get a couch in Moore A402.

 

Bottom. I never minded the climbing, but I move a lot in my sleep. All it took was one time rolling off the top bunk at camp when I was a kid for me to want to sleep closer to the ground.

 

Top at summer camp when I was a camper, and when I was a counselor. I liked it, although as a counselor, what I would do is hang towels and my other set of sheets down from the rafters to create my own private space. Eventually, we were told by the higher-ups that we could only do this for our one day off a week, because something about wanting us to be aware of the kids during the night. Of course, inevitably on my one day off, I'd hang the sheets up, and someone would ignore it and try to wake me up because they weren't aware it was my day off.

Only time I had a bunk bed in college was my sophomore year. I had the top for the first semester, and didn't mind it, although my roommate and his girl would do certain things in the bottom bunk. He usually slept over in his girl's bed (which was next door; yes, we were neighbors), and eventually I decided that since he rarely was there, that I wanted the bottom bunk. It took a couple of weeks, but he finally agreed.

 

Bottom. Always preferred bottom when I had the option.

 

Bottom.

 

I’m the opposite of Moddy. Always bottom bunk. Last thing a fat guy wants to do is fall six feet onto a hard floor. My luck is that I’d break my leg.

Until COVID, we had a group trip every year where 30 of us piled into one or two houses on a lake in the mountains. A couple of the rooms were bunked and that’s where the non-coupled folk generally were placed. I’d sleep on the floor over taking a top bunk.
