I believe the answer is:

pallet

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

'makeshift bed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'secretary left accommodation' is the wordplay.
'secretary' becomes 'pa' (I've seen this in other clues).
'left' is a reversal indicator.
'accommodation' becomes 'tell' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tell' in reverse letter order is 'llet'.
'pa'+'llet'='PALLET'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
