Dogs are pack animals and in the wild they sleep huddled together for a few reasons. First to stay warm, and then of course social status, also I've read that they will put the pregnant females and babies in the middle of a huddle or towards the back of a cave for protection. So if your pets sleep with you (mine are kind enough to leave a little room on the bed for me....) they see you as part of the pack, and thats a good thing!

For warmth and security. Dogs, at any rate, are naturally social animals and huddle together to keep warm. Some cats do too, though they are not natural pack animals, they certainly sleep together in family groups.
My great lumping Welsh Border Collie used to sleep on my feet. I think he was always nervous that his nice people might disappear in the night.

maybe becuase: (1) you're a lot warmer than the floor; (2) you represent comfort and security to them; (3) they just love you; (4) they are making sure that you don't sneak out on them in the middle of the night when they are sleeping; (5) they are making sure that no one steals their primary food source while they are sleeping; (6) the beating of your heart gives them vague but comforting memories of when they were in the womb of momma cat... who knows?

because they feel safe, protected, loved, maybe they haven't got a companion in their species
