There might be a pb in English with the term "sleeping with", given that it completely implies not its literal meaning. Because of that, it seems that it's quite difficult to describe sleeping with someone without having sex (and without any intent to) if I believe: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/148323/is-there-a-non-sexual-phrase-for-sleeping-with-someone http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/148323/is-there-a... It would be interesting to study the interaction between the language and the behaviour in this case.

There is such a term: to be bedfellows. But the practise is so uncommon these days that many living English speakers only think of it as metaphorical expression.
