I would suggest bolt upright
From the Oxford Living Dictionaries:
PHRASE
With the back very straight.
‘she sat bolt upright in bed’
The Free Dictionary gives a definition and example closer to what you're looking for:
verb To suddenly sit or stand up from a reclining position.
I bolted upright in bed when the phone rang in the middle of the night.
