A bedside is the area next to someone's bed.
When we think about our bedrooms, most of us can picture the area where we keep our books, lamp, or favorite stuffed animal - that's the bedside. We often put things like glasses of water or a phone on a bedside table, so they're easy to reach while you're getting ready for bed or waking up in the morning. Some people even have a comfortable chair right at the bedside where they can sit and read before sleep.
