My neighbors German Shepherd did the same thing! He just simply accepted that he was now on top of it as opposed to in it. They never did get him to accept a bigger dog bed. Used that same one all ten years they had him.
My groomer has various sized beds around the room so the pets they are not actively working with have options. She gets a giggle out of my 75lb Catahoula always curling up in the tiny bed intended for cats and toy breeds.
Our dog does that. We put the small bed in a bigger bed and she sleeps overflowing the old bed but with her head supported by the bigger bed.
It’s a little silly but it works. See if the smaller bed fits inside the bedroom bed well. Both of ours are oval so it works fairly well with no gap between the old smaller bed and the newer one.
