hitchup,
We agree on the tryiing different things to see what is best. Also, both parties in the family must agree. Jo is shorter than I am and while she liked the Pinnacles by La-Z-Boy, she felt that the Maverick by La-Z-Boy that we got was more comfortable for her, especially for her height. Her legs "hang" better on the Maverick when she is seated in it.
I also think the design of the back is pretty comfortable, although it might not be in your case. Everyone seems to be different. This image, same as posted above, lets you see the "sculpting" of the back of the loveseat.

We have had La-Z-Boy recliner chairs for years and have always been pleased with how they last. This is our first loveseat recliner. Time will tell whether we can tolerate each other that close together or not. (I mean, we've only been married for a bit more than 42 years. Who knows?)
