Learn More [+]

This phrase is used when you are physically on top of the bed, not necessarily under the covers, such as when sitting or lying on the bed.

Examples:

I'm on the bed, reading a book.
Please don't leave your clothes on the bed.

Alternatives:

I'm on top of the bed

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I'm in the bed' implies that you are under the covers, inside the bed itself. 'I'm on the bed' suggests that you are physically on top of the bed, not necessarily under the covers.
