Type of bed I'd turn back to front (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divan

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

'type of bed' is the definition.
'divan' can be an answer for 'bed' (type of bed). I'm not certain of the 'type of' bit.

'i'd turn back to front' is the wordplay.
'turn back' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'turning back' mean this).
'to front' becomes 'van' (I've seen this in another clue).
'id' reversed gives 'di'.
'di'+'van'='DIVAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for divan that I've seen before include "Couch - bed" , "Piece of furniture" , "Backless seat; bed" , "resting place" , "Sofa - bed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
