A chaise longue (French "long chair") is an upholstered couch in the shape of a chair that is long enough to support the legs.
It is often also called "chaise lounge" in North America, particularly in the furniture industry. This spelling and pronunciation has become well-established and can be found in American English dictionaries, and is an example of a folk etymology.
Note also that in modern France, the term chaise longue often refers to any long reclining chair such as a deckchair.
