I was talking with an international friend, who said he got chewed out by his mum for not being "gentleman enough to offer the bed to his female guest and sleeping on the floor himself," when she found out. This got me thinking (especially as I'm hosting a foreign friend myself soon): how is it in your country? Is the host expected to offer the bed, if they do not have a spare?
I have always slept on the floor or on a couch if my host hasn't had a spare bed, and I would personally never dream of stealing the host's bed. It also feels a bit invasive, at least to me. But how is it your country?
To clarify: floor in this context is on an air mattress on the floor. No one is sleeping on raw planks (in case I was unclear)
