Advice please on new dog 'crying' at night

We adopted our new lab on Friday and she is gorgeous! She is only 14 months old and has come from a neglectful home but is intelligent and very keen to please. She sleeps in the kitchen with our 2 other dogs - they all get on really well - but there was a lot of whining and floor-scrabbling last night. There was silence on the first night - she was probably completely spooked by the newness of everything - but we hope not to have a repetition tonight of the crying. I think I woke her up when I went to the loo in the early hours but that'll happen again!
Any advice welcomed, please.

Do your 2 other dogs sleep in a bed of their own, or just on one big mat. I ask as it could have been them claiming their place when your new one wanted it. There is always a pecking order with dogs, and the new dog has to find its"place". Hope tonight will be settled.

Last night was PERFECT!! Each dog has their own bed - well, 3 beds in the kitchen and they alternate between them. Fingers crossed for tonight!
