permaneceram abraçados na cama por algum tempo antes de dormir
A agree in part. "se acariciaram" has a sexual appeal, when it is widely known bad joke that "women prefer to cuddle" in bed.

Aninharem-se na cama antes de dormir.
They cuddled up in bed before sleeping is the right way of saying, I never heard of anybody cuddling over in bed.
It does not necessarily have a sexual connotation, since a mother or father cuddle up in bed with their children before they go to sleep, it is a loving and affectionate term.
