Sounds like you may have created a rod for your own back (it happens! No judgement lol) as he knows he can refuse and that’s that. I would try ‘reset’ bedtime so he wants to stay in his own bed. We bought our boy a double bed at 4 years old because we decorated his room and needed his baby/toddler furniture for his baby sisters room. He absolutely loves it.
