settee
This term describes a piece of furniture that evokes a sense of traditional domesticity and comfort. It is frequently associated with British English and often carries a more formal or old-fashioned connotation than the ubiquitous American term sofa. The image is one of a structured, upholstered seat designed for social gathering in a parlor or living room.
While the word is used to describe a multi-person seat, it is a standard countable noun. It follows regular English pluralization rules and does not possess the irregular properties found in collective nouns or mass nouns.
