Sofa vs couch

[zippy-kat]

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.

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!
