Origins

It is estimated that the first mix of chairs and daybed comes from Egypt. The earliest models are made from palm tree trunks tied together with pieces of rope or raw leather. Later, Egyptian bed makers introduced mortise-and-tenon construction and wooden frame beds lined with ivory or ebony, commonly used with many examples found in the 1st dynasty tomb (3100-2890 BC).

Ancient Greek art depicts gods and goddesses sitting in this type of chair. The modern Greek word symposium comes from sympinein , which means "drinking together". In ancient Greece this word conveyed the idea of ​​a feast with music and conversation. The main item of furniture for the symposium is kline , a form of daybed. The Greeks changed from the normal practice of sitting at a table to an exercise lying on the couch as early as the 8th century BC.

The Romans also used a daybed to lie down during the day and sleep at night. Developed from the Greek prototype, Roman daybed is designed with legs carved from wood or bronze. The Romans also adapted chaise longue chairs for accubatio (the act of lying down when eating). At the Roman banquet, the number of ordinary people occupying each bed is three, with three naps making up three sides of a small square, so the triclinium is allowed for a nine-year party. The Romans did not practice upholstery, so the sofa was made comfortable with cushions, loose covers and animal skins.

For the Victorian people, chaise longue is considered very valuable to expect wives. As birth control information (and birth control devices) increases and becomes wider, chaise longue becomes less fashionable.

The origin of the name is unknown.
