Say, "Let's keep our friendship, name, that's very important to me. It's valuable to me, but if we keep sleeping in the same bed together, we need to reevaluate our relationship, because I also need a real girlfriend in my life. We are friends, and I want that to continue, but I'm also looking around for something more, okay?"
See what she says then . . . and stay cool!

She probably wants you two to be friends with benefits but i imagine that may hurt your emotions in the end because you want something more serious.You really haven't specified as to whether the sleeping in the same bed includes sex.I'll assume it does.Tell her to sleep in the couch next time.Since she says you are friends,treat her as a friend.No heavy touch or caressing of bodies and don't spend too much time together.

Guess, You'er hot to trot and she is not,
And sleeping in the same bed is a bunch of rot.
There seems to be something that you forgot,
She'll have a lot to lose, and you will not.
Have a wonderful Christmas.

When you say sleep together, you mean without sex?
Sounds like she is using you as her Emotional Cookie Man. She keeps you around for attention and an ego boost, but you do not address her emotional needs that make her feel love and attraction for you.

In my opinion, she is playing games with you. But even if she isn't, that's certainly a situation you can't maintain. Since you're only her friend, act as her friend and don't expect anything else, ever. Don't WANT anything else. Find yourself someone who will share your bed ALSO for sex, and tell the current girl to please sleep in the couch, as you will have some action. Remember, a friend wouldn't stand in your way.
