Planting a Couch Potato

I woke up a little early this morning after I heard a tiny cough outside my door. I figured Colter was up early, so I might as well join him. I peeked out of my bedroom and saw this, Colter asleep on the couch...again. My first thought was that he had another accident. I woke him and asked him why he was on the couch, and got the same answer as last time, "my bed was uncomfortable."
"Did you have an accident?"
"No, I said my bed was a little uncomfortable. I got up to go to the bathroom and came out here."
No wet clothes, no wet bed. So, I dunno. Maybe he just likes the couch.
I asked him again at supper, trying to trick him to admitting it, "Did you have an accident in the middle of the night last night?"
"No, but I did at school. I slept right through having to go potty." (this I knew)
"Well why did you go out on the couch last night, then?"
"I don't know. I just wanted to try something different."

Sorry to intrude, but I have an odd insight that might be helpful. My daughter (nearly 11) has been sleeping in the floor for ages, NOT the bed. Long story short, apparently the mattress is too soft. Perhaps the couch is the right density for him..?
