Bounded, given command to get into bed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bordered

'bounded' is the definition.
('bordered' can be similar in meaning to 'bounded')

'command to get into bed' is the wordplay.
'command' becomes 'order' (order is a kind of command**).
'to get into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'order' inserted into 'bed' is 'BORDERED'.

'given' acts as a link.
