Devil Dog has his crate. Going into Devil Dogs crate is punishable by death. It is his and his alone. The same goes for the footstool. Only he is allowed it.
This leaves the other two with:
Whippy's crate
The greyhound's kingsized duvet - which is brought downstairs when we get up.
dd1's bed
The sofa
1 large dog cushion we bought from a charity show.
1 small dog cuhsion we bought for Devil Dog, which he won't use.
A variable number of piles of soft toys or clothes the dc leave lying around the house.
So why, oh why, do the two hounds only want Whippy's bed? Whippy is happy to share, but the grey has to get in first as it's a Whipet sized crate, not a greyhound crate and if Whippy is already in there she cannot squeeze in. Once she is in Whippy can get in on top of her.
This means whenever Whippy is sleeping in her crate and the Grey decides she wishes to sleep (which is often) she stands at the door howling until Whippy gives in and gets out to let her in
