A blessing turning in, to nice bed (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

benediction

'a blessing' is the definition.
('benediction' can be a synonym of 'blessing')

'turning in to nice bed' is the wordplay.
'turning' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'to'+'nice'+'bed'='intonicebed'
'intonicebed' anagrammed gives 'BENEDICTION'.

(Another definition for benediction that I've seen is " prayer".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
