Using the term 'was' in this kinda statement is wrong. Therefore, the correct English is: He is good in bed.

Like placing an inanimate object therein. E.g

I prepared your food and placed it on the bed while you were still in slumber.

The novel is on the bed.

But for animals, and humans, it is always in.

Bed is a solid object with a primary use for sleeping "ON". We don't sleep or do whatever inside a bed but rather "on" the bed. So I think it would be "good in the art of lovemaking" rather than say "good in bed" which is a coined phrase and has no place in English language...so just say..he is good in the art of lovemaking smiley
