What's the difference between a couch and a sofa?
1 Answer
Today, the words couch and sofa are used interchangeably. In reality, however, a sofa and a couch are different types of furniture. A sofa is defined as an upholstered bench with cushions, two arms, and ample seating space, whereas couches are quite small, armless, and are used to lie down.
