Crossword Genius

Company, time for bed (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cot

'bed' is the definition.
(cot is a kind of bed)

'company time' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'time' becomes 't'.
'co'+'t'='COT'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cot that I've seen before include "Baby's bed" , "Baby bed" , "Folding bed - fingerstall" , "Small bed with high sides" , "Small boat to hold a baby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
