What do you call this?

I've used both but I think sofa sounds nicer than couch.

Couch. I have heard of sofa but not davenport and setee(sp?)

I don't think couch sounds negative it sounds relaxing. If that insults people what it our world coming to?

It's couch here.

I can remember my MIL calling hers a davenport though. I seldom hear people call it a sofa.

I'd call it a couch or a sofa but I usually use the word couch.

I grew up in Virginia and we always called them sofa's.. I still call it a sofa but I know when a person says couch, what it means and am NOT offended!

What in the world is this world coming to when there is a problem with saying sofa/couch! Yes, I take naps on mine so I guess that means it is a couch?

Are you allowed to say potato? Or will it hurt the other veggies' feelings?

Anyway, I call it a sofa

Sofa or couch, pretty much interchangable terms.

In our house it's more commonly referred to as Lady's bed.

Well - here sofa means more uh elegant and couch is like a family room more casual.. Like I have 6 couchs, but one sofa.. ... lol..

When I was real little, I called it a davenport like my parents did. (We're originally from NW Ohio.)

But when we moved, the other kids made fun of me because they didn't know what it was. Neither did my teacher. I quickly learned to use sofa instead.
