Count Dracula could sleep in a bed and didn't necessarily need to sleep in a coffin regain his strength. It was the Transylvanian soil that he needed to sleep under so really the coffin is an option to do so easily. It sounds like a weakness when you say he can't sleep in a bed. However the story can be made funnier if you keep that idea in it. Dracula entered the bedroom. "Oh no beds. My only weakness"
