Morphology

bedding = bed (transparent) = bed + ing

This is a straightforward noun formed from 'bed' + '-ing', and the meaning of coverings used on a bed is directly recoverable from the base word.

Etymology

The word bedding is built from bed ('a place to sleep') and the ending -ing, so it means the sheets, blankets and other things that make a bed comfortable. That is why hotels and homes give fresh bedding to keep people warm and clean.
