Preventing them from getting under the bed

I have a previous Lhasa Apso mix dog.

She has always preferred hiding under my bed since she was a puppy. Especially if she didn’t like what was happening (my husband and I having sex, a repair man around, the vacuum cleaner) she would dive under there.

I thought I had trained her out of it but tonight she dove under there again for no apparent reason.

I am disabled with somewhat limited mobility. I cannot get under my bed. I was able to lure her out with a high value treat and she’s on the couch with me but she’s getting older and she’s had health issues in the past. It occurred to me that she could hide/den under my bed if she were sick or injured and I couldn’t get to her.

I have an antique bed that I don’t want to damage but I think it’s worth blocking her from getting under there. (She has two different kennel options freely available and safe for her.) Any advice on preventing her from getting under there?
