You should get a bigger bed. I have always had problems sleeping with other people, and since my girlfriend (of two months) and I both live in college dorms with twin size beds, we find it impossible to sleep together. If your boyfriend is anything like me, the main problem is the body heat, so a bigger bed would probably take care of his problem. Also, no offence, but do you snore? I know it's usually the guy who snores, but some girls do too (even slim, young girls).
When I'm sleeping with someone my main problem is with FALLING asleep. So maybe to start with you could temporarily leave the bed and wait till he falls asleep before rejoining him, until he gets used to sleeping in your bed, and then you can proceed normally. If you have any techniques that work I'd be interested in knowing, too.
