What are chair couches called?
Chair couches are usually called chaise longues. The term comes from the French phrase "chaise longue," which literally translates to long chair. Although its length resembles a sofa intended to seat two or more people, a chaise longue has a strategically positioned backrest to allow a single user to recline.
