Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 Yes, this is a Brown Recluse (Loxosceles reclusa – species based on range). Some precautions regarding preventing spiders from finding their way into your bed … you can move the bed a few inches away from the wall, place double stick tape around the legs, sticky traps can be placed behind and under the bed, and avoid letting the sheets touch the floor.
