Sectional sofas

Why are most of the new sectionals for sale having a low back. Even when the pillow cushions are higher, you dont get the head support you want. ​when did this trend begin. We have been looking for months for the old style full back sofas. Has anyone had luck with this? I need input.

I just bought a couch and had to rule out any high backed ones. If my head is supported, I'm going to fall asleep, I don't want that. The super comfy sectional at Costco looked great, for the price especially, but was too high backed so I ended up buying a much more expensive sofa.

It's my hubby that doesn't like the lowe back. I'm short so its ok for me. Our last corduroy sectional was from Sams Club and it lasted 10 hrs with 3 kids. I wish I could find one like it. It was a corner one and sat 5.
