Look into: diatomaceous earth; cups around bed legs so the buggers can't crawl up the legs; make sure no part of the bed is touching any wall so the little guys can't crawl up the wall to access the bed. Worked for us.
They're attracted to carbon dioxide (hence they wait til you're asleep and your carbon dioxide output is at its maximum, then they attack). It doesn't have to be a bed! Anything that has folds (clothing, linens, curtains, upholstered furniture) is capable of becoming home to these critters and once they're there, the item is considered infested. If you cannot guarantee no eggs / bugs are still present, then get rid of the item(s). Relying on heat alone is a possible invitation to a longer stay from the unwelcome guests.
The bed is where they feed, but they live everywhere in the house., yes? Is the strategy to starve them to death? Poison them? Certainly too many to swat and squish to death. I’ve never had them. I would call an exterminator. A really, really good one.

Do they have to have a bed? Or will a couch, carpet, anything upholstered do?

They’re primarily active at night. Unless you sleep on your couch they’re going to look for you on your bed.
