Too funny!!
Yeah, I know... we basically use chesterfield for any type of sofa really... It �s basically the same idea though as "swimming costume".

... well Zora, I looked up chesterfield in the trusty freedictionary.com and it says that:
1. it is a man �s overcoat with a velvet collar
2. sofa for Northern Californians and Canadians.
Then a bit further down it says �an overstuffed davenport with upright armrests �. Now, what is a davenport???? Tuns out that it �s a sofa bed. gee, English can be strange ... |

I have to admit that I �ve never heard of a "Davenport" .. and yes, English is very crazy, indeed!
