I don't know if you have a cloud nine bed but if not you might get one of those, everyone that has them swear that their pups  love how comfortable they are.     
Lola is funny with her beds, even when sleeping on our bed she does it in one of her small beds.  When we travel we always take several beds and you can see relief in here eyes when she see's it come out, it's like she is thinking whew now I know where I am supposed to chill out.    I really think  if you want your dogs off the furniture you must have several very comfortable beds for them, on or two is not enough   |  
 
  Sheets of tin foil can work to keep dogs off furniture or crossing certain thresholds, too.  Many tiny dogs and even some big ones just hate it and won't get near walking on it.
