Chesterfield Couch, Sofa, or Settee?

Which term is most used today?
The reason I ask is that Distinctive Chesterfields deal with customers on a worldwide basis and as I am currently trying to add some content to the site, I would like to know which phrase to use.
Chesterfield Sofa has long been the favourite in the UK as far as i am aware, but recently, i have people calling and enquiring about Chesterfield Settees. And to make things worse, its seems that USA or Export / Import buyers prefer the terms Chesterfield Couch.
Answers on a post card please!
It seems that couch is the most prominent in the USA whilst Sofa is for the rest of the world. Having said that, in the Netherlands they are referred to as banken or similar.
I think i might take the easy route and just refer to them as chesterfields!
