What are the bed rules in Love Island?

Sleeping and bed-sharing rules on Love Island Well, basically, the rules say that Islanders should share a bed with who they're coupled with - and who they're coupled with is just based on the fire-side ceremonies. As always - and as they've repeatedly done - Islanders are of course not forced to sleep anywhere.

We watch Love Island A LOT. It's basically our jobs. But this year, in fact, just the last few episodes, something has struck us as really odd... Why can't the Love Islanders just share a bed with whoever they want to?

Two storylines have brought this to mind recently following two recouplings that didn't go the way the Islanders might have intended. Firstly, Danica picked Luca in the recoupling before last. Luca decided to take a stand by sleeping in the living room or doghouse place we never really see unless someone sleeps there. But Gemma didn't follow him, instead resolutely sharing a bed with Davide (who she'd had to pick when her 'love match' Luca, wasn't available anymore). Then, more recently, Jay decided to step between love's young dream, Paige and Jacques, by choosing Paige to recouple with. Well, as the Love Islanders say over and over again (seemingly as long as it's a man who is doing it, but that's for another article...) you've got to use your time and be open and get to know other people if your head is turned. So, sure, that was Jay's prerogative.

But is it making anyone else feel increasingly uncomfortable that while Paige is 'being open', she seems, in reality, to be with Jacques. Yet she feels obligated to share a bed with Jay, to the extent she's holding hands with Jacques across a bed... just because Jay 'chose' her? It feels quite bizarre when you think about it... That someone can 'choose' someone, not necessarily who they'd have wanted, and they still have to share a bed with them?

Sleeping and bed-sharing rules on Love Island

So why do Love Islanders have to share with who they're coupled with?

Well, basically, the rules say that Islanders should share a bed with who they're coupled with - and who they're coupled with is just based on the fire-side ceremonies. As always - and as they've repeatedly done - Islanders are of course not forced to sleep anywhere. Islanders can sleep in the dog house, on sofas and even outside on the day beds. So, in short, as long as the Love Islanders feel comfortable, they follow the rules. Maybe Gemma just didn't fancy a night on a sofa bed... we've all been there.
