In bed is not as fortunate (7)
I believe the answer is:
blessed
'fortunate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in bed is not' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'is not' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bed' going around 'less' is 'BLESSED'.
'as' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for blessed that I've seen before include "Happy; beatified" , "Bedless (anag.)" , "Endowed" , "Highly favoured or fortunate" , "darned" .)
