Q: Do you need mentor or couch sofa?

In proper English, is it 'couch sofa/bed' or 'kouch bed/sofa'?

You can faint on a couch but not on a sofa. In proper English "couch sofa" does not exits, that would be like a "computer PC" the words mean the same, but I think "couch" historically is an asymmetrical piece of furniture with "no ends" or just an end in one end.

 

Did you mean "Do you need Mentos or couch?"

, But we do have a "sofa bed" in America.
