Crossword Genius

Out of bed on one side, honest (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upright

'honest' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'out of bed on one side' is the wordplay.
'out of bed' becomes 'up' ('up' can be a synonym of 'out of bed').
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'one side' becomes 'right' (I've seen this before).
'up'+'right'='UPRIGHT'

(Other definitions for upright that I've seen before include "Honest (like a piano?)" , "support" , "Vertical like rugby goal post" , "not grand" , "Virtuous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
