Couches are usually to be found in the living room or the lounge. They come in a variety of textiles and in leather. A typical couch seats two to three people and has an armrest on either side. Many different types of couch exist: popular types include the divan, the chaise longue, the canapé or the ottoman. Also, to save space, some sofas double as beds (sofa-bed or daybed).

There are other types, including two-seater, three-seater, corner, and chaise longue/daybed. A smaller version of the couch which may only comfortably seat two people is more commonly known as a loveseat.
