Advice on transitioning from sleeping in crate at night to sleeping in bedroom?

Our 18 month old Great Pyrenees/Golden/Poodle mix Teddy is such a good boy, and we are ready to transition him from sleeping in his crate at night to sleeping in our bedroom.

He actually really likes his crate, however we have a very small house, and his crate is enormous, and having it in our small family room is just taking up a huge amount of space. There is truly no other place to put it in our house ; it wouldn’t even fit in our bedroom. We never intended for him to sleep in his crate this long, but we and he just got into the habit, and now he’s pretty attached to it.

Can anyone offer any recommendations for how to ease him out of the crate and get him comfortable sleeping in our bedroom at night? He doesn’t have a favorite blanket or any particular “comfort” toys that might help. There is also no bed in his crate right now; he prefers the bare floor.

I’d also love to hear success stories from other people who have successfully made this transition with their own dogs.

Thanks!
