I am wondering why small kids ( even a few years old) fall down from the bed while changing their position but bigger children /adults do not, no matter how much they move while sleeping?

In addition to all of the wonderful responses, I would like to add that… you still CAN fall off the bed as an adult, it’s just not as common because of all of the reasons outlined.
I may have… anecdotal evidence for this.
Who told you they don’t? Happened to me this week…
I did fall out of bed once as an adult, when pregnant. I thought I was in the middle of the bed, rolled over to get to the edge, and fell right out of bed onto my side. Fortunately the babies were fine.
I (38F) do fall out of bed regularly, but I have terrible proprioception. I also walk into doorframes, miss (or nearly miss) the chair when trying to sit down, and kick table legs and other furniture all the freakin time.
Ask my wife, recenzly she fell out of the bed.. and that didnt happened the first time.
Okay, granted, our bed is not as large. Okay okay.. i was cuddling up to her.. okay maybe when i turned over i accidentally pushed her out of the bed. But still, she “fell” out of the bed lol
I have slept in a king size bed for the past 38 years. Last year, I had to sleep in a twin bed for a week. On one of those nights I managed to fall out of bed while asleep. Luckily I landed on my hands and knees. Laughed about it in the morning. I was 59 at the time.
Hurts more as you get older so you learn to do it less 😀 …I dunno, I fall out maybe once a decade.
Seen a dog fall of the bed a couple times and they have the most bewildered expressions when they do — total incomprehension what just happened.
I’m 41 and rolled off my bed in my sleep a few months ago. Landed on my side, arm was sore for a few days. Co-workers had a good laugh when I told them about it.
I’ve recently fallen out of the bed several times and along with other symptoms are now being tested for a few things. If you are an adult and fall out of bed suddenly and it becomes common within 3 months, please tell your doctor
I have fallen out of a bed as an adult a few times. It was always either when I was in an unfamiliar place or had my sleep pattern disrupted.
