Is it permissible to put food on a bunk bed, under the top bunk, but over the bottom bunk?

Two beds are considered halachically as two distinct “territories”, therefore it would be permissible to put food under a top bunk but over the bottom one, but the authorities say that it is preferable not to do so. If however it was done anyway, it is permissible to use the food.
