    I've smoked Chesterfields, but I've never taken a nap on one.

    I think a Chesterfield is a certain style of couch. The ones I've seen are leather with all the "button" upholstery like you'd see in an expensive lawyer's office. :D

    Rocker, recliner ….
    They are great except it is way too easy to fall asleep while watching TV....

    Mind you, at our age, .......... why not just nod off..
    I find TV rather boring lately.. No decent programs to watch..
    If there is an interesting program, I'll watch but if it is a boring one, I'm off to nodding off in my rocker, recliner...

    Now, who would have one of those.. Personally, all we have is a rocker recliner and that seems to suffice..
