Morphology
bedroom + nation
Bedroom clearly signals private, intimate space, but nation normally denotes a country or collective and does not directly convey 'inviting' or 'cozy', so the compound feels like a creative or metaphorical coinage. A B1 learner who knows both words might guess a relation to bedrooms or a collective realm of bedrooms but would not reliably infer the specific nuance of enhanced comfort without prior exposure, so the transparency is partial.
Etymology
The noun bedroom nation may come from a simple image: imagine a small country made of your bedroom — soft pillows, warm light and privacy — where the nation shows a whole place of comfort. So the phrase describes a cozy, private space that feels like your own place to rest and 'relax'.
