So, you don't want them to get off the bed to potty? You want them to potty in your bed? Gross!
Try wearing them out more during the day.

I have found through years of being a Vet Tech that dogs, including yellow labs, are really comfortable being crate trained at night. It becomes their safety place. If they were crated at night this wouldn't be a problem. Mature dogs do not soil there area and will wait to go outside. You do not say how old your dogs are, but this will work not matter what age if you have the endurance to let them get use to it.

It takes time and training.
You should have a set time food is made available to them. It's not good to leave food out all day for dogs, most will overeat if given the chance.
Take them out RIGHT before you go to bed. They should be able to go through the night without having to go outside.
A dogs average time for digestion is 8 hours. Keep that in mind when you figure out an eating schedule.

Walk them heavily, that will wear them out. Or, you could always give them a doggie benadryl, that will make them sleep well. Yellow Labs are restless and energetic by nature, good luck with your problem.

Keep them active before bed time. Play or walk with them, this should tire them out.

Don't let them drink water or eat an hour before bed. Before you go to sleep, take them out to pee and poop.
