Backless couch with a double front (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'backless couch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with a double front' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a double' becomes 'di' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'front' becomes 'van' (I've seen this before).
'di' next to 'van' is 'DIVAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for divan that I've seen before include "Viand (anag.)" , "Backless seat; bed" , "Piece of furniture" , "Sofa - bed" , "Couch - bed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
