For nearly 10 years, our Bullmastiff slept on the bed with us (some of those years, a queen size mattress!). We learned to sleep hanging on the edge of the bed, as he liked to strech out. When we adopted Ruby, we agreed she would sleep on a dog bed next to our bed. We're older, with sore backs and sleep disturbances, and we need proper bed space. But, she kept trying to get on the bed in the middle of the night, and after 6 months, DH gave in on a very cold night and let her up. That was the end of that.
Luckily, she curls up into a tight ball most of the time, and she prefers curling up near DH to me, so I still have reasonable room. However, there are nights when I'm awakened by her head plopping down into my abdomen or her head up near my pillow!
No photos, unfortunately!
