Your'e probably thinking of a Chaise Lounge. It has a seat back, an area for your legs, but no arms. They were known as fainting lounges in the 1800's. Some psychiatrists use these types.

It's called: the couch; the psychiatrist's couch; couch.

Psycouch?

A comfy. :P I just made that up. I found a reference online to a "psychoanalysis couch". No particular name, apparently.
