Only thing I can think of is to protect the bed. First of all maybe get another mattress so they won't gravitate to peeing where they did previously, then cover it with a plastic tarp or something like that. It is pretty hard to keep them out and let the air conditioning escape into another room unless you have some kind of a vent installed for the air conditioning or buy a small air conditioner for them to be used in another room. Hopefully the situation will get better when the weather is
cooler. Rooms we don't want the cats to enter we close the door and if they scratch on that door we tack a piece of carpet remnant or sample on the door and they scratch that. Either that or guard the door and prevent scratching until they get the message. Easier with the scratching pad on the door, but this probably won't help your situation much except in cooler weather.
Good luck! :-)

Does anyone have any creative ideas for keeping a room off-limits to cats without closing the door? I live in a pretty small place with a dog and two cats, and due to a recent, uncharacteristic tendency my cat has developed for peeing on my bed , I need to be able to close the bedroom door without closing them off to an air-conditioning unit in that room. (The cat has been checked for medical problems, and the story would be much longer if I explained exactly why there's no other solution than the one I've come up with.) So, again, the question is--any good ideas for cat-proofing a doorway without shutting the door? Thanks for any ideas or advice.
