Fainting couch
(for those who need it)
My aunt had one like that, covered in pink velvet.
When I was a little kid I suffered motion sickness, and once on a visit to her I threw up on her ‘chaise longue’. The stain apparently never came out, as I noticed on later visits that it was discreetly covered up with an elegant throw.
I didn’t like her much, so I never felt too bad about it...
