Fainting couch

A fainting couch is a modern term describing a couch with a back traditionally raised at one end. The back may be situated completely on one side of the couch or wrapped around and extended to the entire piece, much like a traditional couch. However, "fainting couches" are easily differentiated from more traditional couches, with one end of the back raised.
