Rested when a bed's made up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

based

'rested' is the definition.
(both can mean located or positioned)

'a bed's made up' is the wordplay.
'made up' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'beds'='abeds'
'abeds' is an anagram of 'BASED'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for based that I've seen before include "Located" , "Positioned" , "foundation" , "(Of aircraft) stationed" , "Founded, grounded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
