If someone lies in one position, but then changes to a different position, what would be the most appropriate way to say this?
He turned around in the bed.
or
He turned around on the bed.
Is there any difference in meaning? I prefer the first, because to me it means that he turned around while actually lying in bed, whereas the second means that he used his bed only as a platform to make the "turn around", so to speak. (This reasoning is perhaps entirely wrong, that's why I ask.)
Thank you.
