I believe the answer is:

electric blanket

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'alluding to wired item found in bedroom?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'shocking coverage' is the wordplay.
'shocking' becomes 'electric' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'coverage' becomes 'blanket' (I've seen this before).
'electric'+'blanket'='ELECTRIC BLANKET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for electric blanket that I've seen before include "Bed warmer" , "Bed heater" , "cover at night" , "this might warm you up" , "Provider of extra bed heat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
