Dogs get wound up, nervous, or excited and they hump.
Don’t accidentally reinforce the behavior by freaking out.
You can removed the objects of their affection
Do you give the bed back if it's been removed for a few days?
Typically it is to show dominance and if you have other pets, could be there way of saying "this bed is mine"
This is just a sign of dominance and he/she is probably showing you that her pet bed is hers and she is dominant over it not you. When she does this just distract her. grab a treat or something. this will stop after a while and don't worry this is a normal stage dogs go through.
