Main switch by the door (1-way) in series with the bedside switches (2 in parrallel) - means you have a master switch at the door and the lights can be individually controlled, just means the side switches won't work unless the master is on at the door.

You could then extend it so the master is 2-way and intermediate to allow for a master switch along side the individual switch at each bedside - that way if they forget to turn the master on at the door they can just flick it at their bedside without needing to get out of bed.

But surely the least hassle and easiest fix is a 2-gang 2-way at the door - can't be that much more effort required to flick two switches instead of one?
 
I was referring to an installation where there are 2 lights by the bed, one on each side and in this example there is a 2 way switch on either side of the bed and the intermediate by the door.....

AAAHH now I see. Daft Idea. :p

You can blame my lack of ability to get your point on beer. :)
