Educationalist’s sleeping-place (3)
I believe the answer is:
bed
'place' is the definition.
(bedding is a kind of placing)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bed that I've seen before include "Matrimonial duties" , "(Garden) plot" , "For sleep and flowers" , "Bottom < layer" , "Plot in which plants are growing" .)
