Where one may be lying in Div. 1 (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divan

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

'where one may be lying' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'div 1' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'an' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'div'+'an'='DIVAN'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for divan that I've seen before include "Sort of bed" , "Sideless, backless couch" , "Piece of furniture" , "Couch - bed" , "Sofa - bed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
