In most regions outside the UK, including Ireland, North America, South Africa, and Australia, the term couch is predominantly used. However, in the UK, sofa and settee - a distinction sometimes made between the U and non-U versions - are more commonly employed. The origin of the word couch lies in Middle English from Old French's noun couche, which emerged from a verb signifying to lie down. Initially denoting furniture for resting or sleeping on, it bore some resemblance to the chaise longue, but its usage now encompasses sofas as a whole. By contrast, sofa originated in Turkish, derived from the Arabic term suffah (ledge/bench) and its precursor Aramaic word sippa (mat). Joseph Pubillones proposes that while both terms refer to upholstered seating, the principal difference between them lies in formality: a couch implies relaxation, best describing an upholstered piece in a family room; sofa, with predominantly British usage in England and Ireland, denotes a tone of formal sophistication. Therefore, the choice between these words often hinges on the desired level of formality in a specific setting. The term settee or setee is derived from Old English's setl, used to describe long benches with elevated backs and arms, although its meaning now generally encompasses upholstered seating arrangements.
