Hello and welcome to the forums, Congrats on your new puppies! Are they brother and sisters? How old are they? And how would you say they are doing so far? Do they do vocalize as if in distress (loud, ear-piercing stressful-sounding crying)? If so, how long are they doing it for? Are you sleeping on the airbed all night? Do you know if the breeder already acclimatized them to the crate or is the crate totally new to them? Since you have used the crate for only two nights, where were they sleeping prior to that? This is one of those things that vary from pups to pups, but I think what works best is to go gradually. Last batch of pups I had got better after 3 days and improved a lot after a week, but they were already familiar with the crate, the previous ones took a little longer, but I had to get each a Snuggle Puppy behavior aid for them because they were very young at 7 weeks old (they were strays). I personally prefer having the pups in the bedroom and then gradually moving their crates away a little bit more at a time until they are out of the room, but I have also done the other way around, although it's a little more inconvenient.
