Sofa vs couch

[krazyaboutkatz]

I usually refer to it as a couch and it's in my living room with a cat proof corduroy cover on it. My recliner also has the same type of cover so you can't recline in it but I never use it any way.

I'd rarely use the word couch, and if I did, it would be to describe something a little softer looking and more worn than the Ikea one shown in the OP. I would sometimes call it a sofa, although in my house, it was called the settee, and so by force of habit I'd refer to it as that!
