I had a Canadian uncle who called them "davenports".

The tradition ended with her, and my Mom and I went with "couch."

Her footstool was an ottoman. A chest of drawers was a chifferobe. And the white cloths you put on the back of the chair to rest your head were called antimacassars

Men used to goop the oil on their hair in the 1800s and early 1900s.

that the fake hillbilly DIDN”T fuck!

With electric controls for legs, headrest, heater, massage, as well as a USB port.

Mostly couch though.

… and wondered from whence it came. How did Chester manage to get an entire field? Apparently named after the Earls of Chester, some English hoidy-toidys of yonder year.

The use of the word chesterfield has apparently decreased steadily to be near zero now. Although Chris Horner, a former pro cyclist with a YouTube channel who comments on pro cycling races, is quite fond of the term.

After he's done his thing on the couch/sofa/davenport.....

the name of the land a farmer grows his crops on.

"What would you like your breakfast tray made of?"
