Morphology
The meaning 'a decorative or protective cover used on a bed' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bed' (furniture for sleeping) with 'covering' (a layer placed over or around an object). This noun–noun composition is a regular compositional pattern found across languages (e.g., Spanish 'cubrecama', French 'couvre-lit'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bed covering is simply a covering for a bed, so picture pulling a blanket over the mattress to keep it clean and make the room look nice. That's why it means 'a decorative or protective cover' used on a bed.
