sofas
Cushioned parlor seating
Sofas are upholstered seats designed for multiple people, typically with a back and armrests.
The word is interchangeable with couch in most contexts, though sofa sometimes suggests something slightly more formal: We need a new sofa for the living room.
A sofa bed or sleeper sofa converts into a bed for guests.
