'bed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'male thespian about to be kicked out for starting to throw-up on' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'male' could be 'm' (common abbreviation) and 'm' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 're' (common abbreviation for 'with reference to') and 're' is found within the answer.
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mattress that I've seen before include "Nap on this" , "Bedding" , "Sleeping support" , "It could be slept on" , "Pad to sleep on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
