The “ you alright?!” In response to thinking the box spring was a mattress Absolutely cracked me up.😂
My Grandmother, who was born in 1896, called sofas chesterfields.
I know chesterfield as a brand of cigarettes
My grandmother used the word davenport instead of couch or sofa.
Originally, the different names actually referred to different styles of seating.
My grandmother called her couch,a Davenport. And I know other elderly people do as well.. I am also from the Midwest Minnesota, and when I was younger, I think most people would say couch, but now more and more people are saying sofa. I’ve also heard of Chesterfield, so I’ve never known anyone personally to use that I always thought that Settee referred to a very small fancy sofa but I might be wrong about that..
In my area of the Midwest, Davenport is something older people say. My Grandmother said that in the 80s.
A settee is more like what we call a loveseat.
A fully furnished apartment has always meant the apartment came with furniture, like tables, chairs, sofas, and such. I've never had an apartment that did not include a stove/oven and a refrigerator. Most of the apartments I've lived in were unfurnished, meaning they came without furniture.
Waiting for the "light bulb" to go off when they realize that every bed they slept on while in the US had box springs..
Brits do have them, but call them divans.
Box spring mattress goes under the Main mattress. It makes making whoopy more fun with that extra bounce but noisy LOL
My grandparents often called couches Davenports. Sometimes my parents, too.
Box springs are what makes American beds so fun for kids to jump on (against their parent's orders). Very bouncy.
Never had an Adirondack chair. I grew up with the webbed folding lawn chairs and lounges, and as an adult got cheap plastic chairs or cushioned patio chairs. I think Adirondack chairs may be more popular in the more Easterly parts, but I'm not positive. I don't spend a lot of time on other people's yards.
I grew up near Los Angeles in a neighborhood with lots of people from Iowa and they said "davenport," but my family said "couch." I used both interchangeably. When we moved to Orange county we got a porch swing, but it was on the patio in the backyard. Porches in California are usually quite a bit smaller than in the Midwest.
In US midwest we say couch or sofa.My parents said davenport
4:45 We also call them Davenports sometimes.
as someone who lives in the adirondaks.. those chairs are everywhere.. in the front yard. back yards.. i know ppl that build them and selll them
I was born and raised in California and we normally say couch. Sofa sounds a bit eccentric, but you still hear it--usually in advertisements. My grandma in Pennsylvania called it a davenport, but I doubt most people I know, would know what that is..
You probably know a box spring in the UK as a divan, where they have casters which sit on the floor, whereas the box spring goes on an unslatted frame in the US.
My grandmother born in 1888 called it a duffold. It was kind of like the click sofas nowadays but it was perfectly balanced so two people could sleep comfortably without one side tipping over. Never heard anyone else call it a duffold. It might have been a Missouri term. She also had a porch swing on the front porch. When we sat on it together she put her foot down to keep it from swinging too much. I was born in 1949 so she was pretty old at that point, lol.
Until I saw this LitP video, I was always under the impression that a "settee" was some exotic piece of furniture found in places like Thailand and India. I had no idea it was just another word for a couch. I *did* know the terms "sofa", "davenport", and "divan", as well as the more specific "love seat", "futon", and "hide-a-bed"; but "couch" is by far the most common word for it here.
I just got a new mattress AND box spring this week.😂
My grandma (born in 1911) called a couch/sofa: davenat or Davenport 🤷♀️
Disney and universal hotels have Murphy beds all the time. It’s always disguised as a cabinet or a couch. It’s because those rooms are designed to have the maximum of space yet look smaller. You can’t put an extra bed in something not advertised for it but by hiding beds you get away with it. Just ask the staff and they can pull it down for you or pull it out.
Murphy beds are in hotels and small apartments in places such as NYC and Adirondack chairs are a style so as the seat is the same, comfortable but not easy to get out of 😂 but they have ones that rock too. They are a nice chair, some have cup holders too😂
Fully furnished apartments are rare even in the states. The show apartments you really just look at as the stuff inside is just about to crumble into dust or break but it gives you ideas of what it could look like. Apartments are bare bones fridges, stove with oven, and microwave, possibly a dishwasher and full washer and dryer. It really depends on the apartment complex. My brother’s apartment has a shared laundry area but he bought a microwave as the one inside the apartment wasn’t up to his standards.
A mattress and box springs are two different things.
An Adirondack chair is an outdoor recliner. Sometimes they are adjustable. The rocker on your phone is not an Adirondack chair.
A chesterfield sofa in my part of Canada back in the mid-century.
New Semi trucks have them as options so you have a sitting area with a table then that folds down and bunk folds down.
The US has a small sofa we call a love seat. What might you call them in England?
When I was little, another name for a couch or sofa, was davenport. As a little girl, I thought it was a "davencouch"!
I was taught that a couch is what is use in informal rooms like in game rooms or places that are not used much for gatherings (kind of a poor man's sofa), or even in the waiting room of a doctor's office. A sofa is more soft, stylish and is proudly displayed in the family rooms of more elaborate, wealthy homes, Has plush cushions and stylish designs.
My grandmother used to call a sofa a "davenport"
Hey beautiful Beesleys! ❤
Those chairs ARE hard to get out of..(especially the elderly) see them on beaches as well
Well since Lawrence mentioned the Adirondack Mountains I feel like this is all I need to recommend a video from the channel Atlas Pro called "Is there A RAINFOREST in New York?" which is a very interesting (and long) video from one of my favorite channels on TH-cam.
The chair is called a Adirondack chair
I remember my grandparents called a sofa a divan. And they called the footstool an Ottoman
california i had my rentals furnished which is stove and refrigerator
i love you guys, keep being awesome!!!!!
A settee is smaller than a couch. A settee seats 2-3 people, while a couch seats 4.
My nana called her Davenport type desk a "library" lol
I've only seen Murphy beds on tv and in movies.
I've seen 3 other reaction videos to this video and I saw them the day this video came out or the day after. You guys need to find new videos to react to because everyone reacts to Across the Pond. Not to mention he also has a HUGE following.
Adirondack state park is huge and beautiful. Bigger than Yellowstone and Yosemite combined.
Millie being savage
I’ve heard older people call a couch a Davenport. I live in the US.
I'm 64 year old American and I've never seen a Murphy bed in real life....only on TV.
I would almost always call it a couch, if it was not for Dr. Suese. There is a Bofa on my sofa. From Michigan.
I grew up calling a couch a divan or davenport
The other day I listened to an old American radio show from the early 1950s and one of the characters was commenting on new neighbors moving in next door and she referred to the sofa as a Davenport
My grandmother always called it a Davenport
So did mine.
Mine too.
I think davenport, couch, and sofa were used interchangeably when I was growing up.
@@DianeCasanova Me too
There’s an antique desk called a Wooton desk that sometimes you see. It’s a very specific type of desk as the writing surface is not the main focus. The Wooton desk was highly customizable for each person and everyone did them differently. I know one example that became a mobile post office, another became a telephone relay station.
William S. Wooton created the desk for business owners but military field commanders wanted them and it just kept going. You rarely see them anymore except as an antique although many furniture companies have tried to copy the design but it’s locked for a reason
Sounds like a secretary.
@@jackgilchristThey're called a secretary where I live too.
It's a davenport, which is also a City in Iowa, and a last name.
My grandmother's generation called it a davenport... midwest lingo
Laurence's box spring & Murphy bed photo examples are confusing.
Yes it was a deer behind the fire pit.
You two should check out a sofa bed. I don't think they are made anymore. Very nasty fold out from the sofa "beds" that only the young could sleep a night on without totally messing up their backs.
Box spring goes under the matress
My great aunt calls them a davenport, but I just say couch.
Was the Davenport invented in Davenport Iowa? Inquiring minds want to know 😊
My parents have two porch swings and a tiny swing chair from my baby niece
Growing up, we always called the couch a divan.
Actually, a divan in the UK IS a box spring on casters, instead of it sitting in a bed frame.
Couch is predominantly used in North America, Australia, South Africa, and Ireland, whereas the terms sofa and settee are most commonly used in the United Kingdom and India.
That chair yall showed was a rocking chair, Not an Adirondack chair.
Dude, you visited the US stayed in some HQ hotel/motels. You have slept on quite a few.
R. U. Alright. LOL. William s
"Porch shwing." Is that what happens to guys when they're on the porch and see a beautiful woman walk by?
Yeah, mattresses don't have springs. They're what you sleep on, atop box springs. Old style beds use them, not foam.
Older mattresses did have metal springs, my stepdad just replaced his old mattress as it had a hole in the middle and even time, he laid down, the metal spring would hit him in the lower back.
@@marydavis5234i thought the box spring meant a bed like a divan and with the springs inside and the mattress on top not like the more modern slot beds. A sofa in either three seater or two seater and most people buy them as a suite of furniture like bedroom room furniture a dressing table two bedside tables and tall boy and a wardrobe if you prefer than a built in robe.
Box Spring mattresses go under regular mattresses, stacked. You may call them something different, but it's a common configuration.
we call thm sofas, couches or settis. just depends .....
Those beds are not that common in the states! I’m 60 n have never seen nor know anyone that has that kind of bed!
Know box spring ar bulit in mattes but you buy separately or buy both
No, that box spring is a mattress. It doesn't usually hurt because it is filled with cotton too. But, I don't prefer box springs. Plus, sometimes a spring will poke it's way thru.
That dude doesn't tell the truth 😅
👍🏾
Hey, I recognize this video :)
The Murphy bed is not common in the US
It is some what in larger cities where space is at a premium. Older cities too.
We have one
My sister had one built for the guest room.
I think Murphy beds are more of a small apartment thing from the past. As stated, nowadays most US apartments are unfurnished.
They were once pretty common where space was at a premium. I've more often heard them called foldaway beds.
Did yall move to the US?
❤🌷🌹❤
The sound Is not good in this video 😢
What is Ted lasso?
😂
One of the greatest TV shows of all time.
@@starparodier91 he’s just being a smart ass.
dim bulbs
Sorry if I’m wrong but did you go to a firing range while in America. Wrong. Wrong thing to do. We have a serious gun problem in this country. Not a pastime. People are being murdered. Sorry if I have the wrong channel
The bloke’s accent is becoming unbearable🤦🏻♂️
I think it looked like a deer.
