Bedclothes (6)
I believe the answer is:
sheets
'bedclothes' is the definition.
(I know this)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sheets that I've seen before include "Bedclothes to be found on ships?" , "Leaves" , "Sail-ropes and bedclothes" , "They get blanket coverage" , "Bedclothes, sailing ropes and paper" .)
