Sofa vs couch

You are a strange Oregonian.

Just a couple generations older.

I have one couch in my living room. Even though Casey is gone it is still "Casey's Couch".

[Felicia's Mom]

I also grew up calling it a davenport.

The sofa is in the living room and the sectional is in the family room.
Davenport have not heard that one before, sounds like it is from the 19th century, kind of cute.

We call it a lounge here.

Couch. It's in the living room and you'll have to move the cat (she stretches across all the cushions) if you want to sit on it.

My couch is in my livingroom. Although seeing it mentioned if it's paired with a loveseat I will refer to it as a sofa in that case.

My grandma always called them Davenport. Used to be rather confusing for me as a child. But then again, according to her, we didn't wash our hands in the sink, we used the basin, we didn't turn on the water faucet it was a spigot, we didn't wear pants we wore slacks, and we didn't put on tennis shoes we wore sneakers.

It's called a Davenport (if you were brought up in the 20's). Couch, sofa, daybed, tomato/tomahto, WHATEVER!!! As long as my sorry @$$ is in one every night, call it what you will!!!

That is a couch and it is in my living room A sofa might be in my grandmother's frontroom and nobody sits on it!

I actually use the two words equally, but either way, it's in the living room. And there are sheets covering it to keep off bird poo!

My ex-husband was from Ireland and they called it a settee. . .
