Couch, sofa or davenport -- what do you call it

[kjstrukel]

I call it a couch, my parents have a sofa, and my grandparents had a davenport.   What about you?

[tammypete]

I call it a couch!   My parents also called it a couch!

I call the long one a couch and the short one a sofa.  I have never called anything a davenport and I don't really know the difference.

My mother used to call it the davenport, I call it the couch and my boyfriend calls it the sofa.

Usually couch....occasionally sofa.  It's funny how people use different words depending on the area of the country they are from.

I.E.  purse vs. pocketbook, soda vs. pop, etc....

Sometimes divan, sometimes couch & sometimes sofa.   I don't remember what my parents called them but I don't think it was davenport.

We call it a sofa and sometimes we call it a couch.  I don't know what a davenport is??

Mainly I call it a couch, but I love to refer to it as a davenport just to see what kind of reaction I can get. My grandparents were the only people I have heard call it that.

Couch most of the time.  May use sofa here and there.

  Yeah, It is what it is. I grew up with davenports, then my folks bough a sofa in the 1950's. Then , my wife and I bought our first couch in 1962. I grew up with linoleum floors, roll up window shades, curtains, and even a Ice box. My children grew up with refrigerators, tile floors, carpeting and drapes. I had it wonderful though, for some people in this world still have dirt floors to this day!!!

I have always called it a couch and so does my parents. I have heard others call it a sofa, but I have never heard someone call it a davenport.

I think "davenport" is a midwestern term.  Lots of folks from other parts of the country have never heard of it!
