Mine were doing the same with my brand new very expenseive bed, and were
using it as a nest.  As I got this bed around the time I got mt second
ferret it was also a very desirable place to claim as territory.  Boy the
squeaks!  My other half was home during one such rucus ( must have been a
bad one) and tore the bed apart, shook out the ferrets and their toys and
called me in desperation!  What we did was take a fitted sheet and "made
the bed" upside down.  So, the enrire bottom of the bed ( the boxspring)
is covered in a sheet and the ferrets haven't been able to get back in!
 
Good luck!
