Couch

A couch, also known as a sofa, settee, chesterfield, or davenport, is a cushioned piece of furniture that can seat multiple people. It is commonly found in the form of a bench with upholstered armrests and is often fitted with springs and tailored cushion and pillows. Although a couch is used primarily for seating, it may be used for sleeping.

In homes, couches are normally put in the family room, living room, den, or lounge.
They are sometimes also found in non-residential settings such as hotels, lobbies of commercial offices, waiting rooms, and bars.
Couches can also vary in size, color, and design.
