Top 60 Best High End Classic Luxury Designer Sofas
A COUCH or SOFA is a piece of furniture for seating two or more people in the form of a bench, with or without armrests, that is partially or entirely upholstered, and often fitted with springs and tailored cushions. Although a couch is used primarily for seating, it may be used for reclining and napping.
In homes, couches are normally found in the family room, living room, den, sitting room or the lounge. They are also found in hotels, lobbies of commercial offices, waiting rooms, furniture stores, etc.
The term couch is used in North America, Australia, New Zealand, whilst the term sofa is generally used in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The word originated in Middle English from the Old French noun couche, which derived from the verb meaning "to lie down". It originally denoted an item of furniture for lying or sleeping on, somewhat like a chaise longue, but now refers to sofas in general. Other terms synonymous with the above definition are settee, chesterfield, divan, davenport, and canapé. The word sofa is from Turkish derived from the Arabic word suffa for 'wool', originating in the Aramaic word sippa for 'mat'. The word settee comes from the Old English word, 'setl', which was used to describe long benches with high backs and arms, but is now generally used to describe upholstered seating.
A CHAISE LONGUE, ("long chair") is an upholstered sofa in the shape of a chair that is long enough to support the legs. The architect Le Corbusier designed a Chaise Longue, which he called the LC-4 Grand Confort, that has become a classic item.
DAYBEDS are used as beds as well as for lounging, reclining and seating in common rooms. Their frames can be made out of wood, metal or a combination of wood and metal. They are a cross between chaise longue, couch and a bed.
A SETTEE is a seat for two or more persons, having a back and usually arms, and often upholstered.
