beds

pits

'places to retire' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for beds that I've seen before include "furniture items?" , "Resting places; a county (abbr.)" , "Garden plots - English county (abbr)" , "Shortened county" , "Small English county" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
