furniture that refuses to commit, so you don't have to either
means A long, low piece of furniture meant for reclining or napping during the day, sitting somewhere between a sofa and a bed.
from A plain English compound of 'day' and 'bed,' in use since at least the 1500s — its whole identity hangs on that 'day,' marking it as a place to rest while the sun's up, as opposed to the proper nighttime bed. Shakespeare uses the word in 'Twelfth Night,' which tells you the lounging-by-daylight idea is old indeed.
