Private area perfect for Spooner? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

double bed

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

'perfect for spooner?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'private area' is the wordplay.
'private' becomes 'double' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'area' becomes 'bed' (bed is a kind of area).
'double'+'bed'='DOUBLE BED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for double bed that I've seen before include "Be odd blue (anag)" , "Sleeping accommodation for two people" , "Sleeping place for two people" , "Where partners relax" .)
