'Easy' here means free from anxiety. Examples are:-
--The other people involved in the murder of Stephen Lawrence should not rest easily in their beds."
-- Bosses of Britain's biggest bed company will be sleeping easy this Christmas after another record year.
--A Cumbria-based company is sleeping easy after winning a contract to supply beds to the De Vere hotel chain.
--Baby Brandon Walker is sleeping easy after his mum Kellie won a new Britax pushchair and car seat carrier in an Evening Telegraph promotion.
To sleep easy in one's bed is, in my opinion, a cliche. The first example was heard yesterday on the BBC news and I know that 'to sleep easy in one's bed' is a not uncommon expression, despite the fact that I cannot find it in the lists of idioms that I normally consult.
