It is permissible to prostrate on a bed if it is connected to the ground. For a prostration of recitation (sajdat al-tilawah), the conditions of prayer must be met: purity from ritual impurity () and filth (khabath), covering of the 'awrah, and facing the Qiblah. Therefore, it is not valid to prostrate in any direction other than the Qiblah.
