High back or low?

@SW-User I don't think I've ever had a low backed one.

Well, I ask on account of traditionally, at least "couch" referred to a piece of furniture on which to lie down..couche, from French, meaning "to lie down" was usually a lower-backed piece of furniture (think stereotypical psychiatrist's couch)...
Whereas "sofa" is USUALLY higher-backed with a more formal feel.
But now its all more or less interchangeable..
