I think to make this right, it has to be a transition instead of a sudden change of rules, do it little by little and make it for him as a positive experience, reward him and pet him every time he goes to his bed and stays there... take him down of the bed with a firm tone to let him know that that is not allowed anymore, but don't be aggressive about it. Dogs live in the present, they don't live in the past... If you teach them new ways, they will learn them. But try to make the learning of these new ways a positive experience for him, and he will adjust to it just fine.
