Cot range and new soft furnishings (8)

I believe the answer is:

bedlinen

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

'soft furnishings' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cot range and new' is the wordplay.
'cot' becomes 'bed' (cot is a type of bed).
'range' becomes 'line' (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'bed'+'line'+'n'='BEDLINEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bedlinen that I've seen before include "changed after guest leaves" , "Sheets and pillowcases" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
