context_page_description: A fainting room was a private room, of which its main furniture were fainting couches, used during the Victorian era, to make women more comfortable during the home treatment of female hysteria. Fainting rooms were used for more privacy during home treatment pelvic massages. Such couches or sofas typically had an arm on one side only to permit easy access to a reclining position, similar to its cousin the Chaise longue, although the sofa style most typically featured a back at one end so that the resulting position was not purely supine.
  There are also accounts that mention fainting rooms in eighteenth-century America. This room, which was also referred to as bedroom, is located in the ground floor and contained a day bed that allow occupants to rest for brief periods during the day.
