Morphology
The noun phrase simply combines the adjective 'pissy' (smelling of or soiled with urine) with 'bed', so its meaning — a bed that is urine-soiled or smells of urine — is directly and compositionally derivable from the parts. Although 'pissy' is colloquial, the adjective + noun structure is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun pissy bed comes from a simple, literal picture: a bed that is wet because someone or a pet has peed on it, so the word pissy describes that wetness. That's why the phrase means 'a bed that has been soiled with urine'.
