    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!!!

    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. . .

    I was raised calling it a davenport. I have adapted and now call it all kinds of things - couch, sofa, whatever!

    I am with Zara and call it a settee and it is in my living room; must be a British thing!
