My laptop burnt out by doing that. Put it on hard surface.
To work out what is going on put you mouth against the bed or any item of clothing you;re wearing and blow.... you will feel the bed getting hotter. That is exactly what is happening to your computer. Frabrics keep the heat in too much. Never keep a computer for long periods on a bed.
Have a look on the bottom, if the fan thing is also going out the bottom then you can be even more sure that a bed is a dangerous place for a computer. Putting your laptop on a hard surface will not create this effect and will stay cooler.

You don't wanna try this cuz it may really cause fire if you leave it there for more than 4 hrs.
Or your laptop will be damaged some of the ic by heat.

Yes. It will get a hotter resting on bedding than if it was on a table.
Also any damaged wires on the charger could cause a spark.
If it has batteries under recall I wouldn't trust it anywhere.

Most of the time, It just feels hot, but I don't think it will cause the bed sheets to catch fire. I, from personal experience, have never had a problem and the CPU/mobo goes as hot as 60C or even 70C. but don't take my advice, you can experiment on that for a while...
