I've never used these before. Does he like catnip? If so then I'd buy some catnip spray and then spray it on the scratching posts. Hopefully this will get him to use those more. I have my couch and recliner covered with furniture covers. You might want to try to do this so he won't start scratching the new furniture too. Most cats don't like the smell of citrus so maybe you could spray the bedroom furniture with this. Does he have to be in your bedroom? Maybe you could just keep the bedroom door closed. I have to do this with my 4 younger cats so they won't get into things in my bedroom. Good luck.
