Do you sit on

a couch
a sofa
a settee
something else in the same line (no fair saying 'a chair')?

Do you perceive any difference between these three things? Can you define it?

I've just read through all your comments and they're very interesting, and no doubt don't help at all as there's no consensus

For me, I have a couch and thinking about it, have never heard anyone in this area refer to it as a sofa, though on occasions settee is used.

Ah, so not just 'regional' in the sense of 'being American' then! Somehow I am not surprised. It amuses me greatly how many different distinctions are used!
