Answer: Newton's 3rd Law

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This encompasses the idea that as you are pushing down on the couch, it is pushing pack up on you with an equal and opposite force.

The third law of motion. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You exert a force on it and it exerts it back.
