A couple who added another woman to their relationship have shared insights into what it’s like when it comes to sleeping arrangements.
No, we’re not discussing anything risqué. We’re focusing on where and how they sleep.
Alana Underwood and Kevin Jankay had been a couple for three years before deciding to open their relationship in 2020 so Alana could explore her bisexuality.
Their initial plan was to have a single encounter with another woman.
However, six years on, they remain together as a trio.
Currently, Alana, Kevin, and Megan Smith are in a committed polyamorous relationship.
They first encountered Megan and her then-wife through a dating app, engaging in conversations online for about a month before finally meeting face-to-face.
Initially, Kevin mentioned to People that their connection was ‘purely sexual,’ but over time, their bond deepened as they spent more time together.
A few months later, Megan parted ways with her wife in what she described as an ‘unrelated’ decision, causing a temporary pause in their meet-ups.
They eventually reunited, and in 2021, they embraced their new dynamic as a throuple.
When Megan moved into their 600-square-foot living space, they needed to adjust their sleeping setup to accommodate everyone.
The solution involved adding an air mattress to their queen-sized bed to ensure all three could sleep comfortably.
Alana shared with People: “The middle spot — it has its pros and cons.
“It’s nice because you get to snuggle with both partners, but it gets really, really hot. So we rotate to keep it equal.”
In 2023, while appearing on the UK television show This Morning, the trio elaborated on their sleeping arrangements.
During their conversation with former hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, they shared a method using their initials: ‘M A K’.
Megan explained: “We do this thing called the Mac n Cheese method, where every night we switch who’s in the middle.”
Kevin noted: “It’s a good thing to be in the middle, in my situation I’m in between two beautiful women. But it’s really hot and when you have to use the restroom everyone wakes up.”
This rotation allows them to ensure everyone gets equal time with each other, especially Megan.
Alana recently told People: “We were very aware of how she could feel, and we tried to put ourselves in her shoes.
“I think there could be the opportunity to feel jealous or left out, but we’ve just been very aware about that.”
The trio frequently shares their experiences on their Instagram account, @campthrouple, offering a glimpse into their life together.
Their posts are candid and often humorously self-aware.
