Price tag of $2k and sale price of $1,905. I think I’ll wait a bit before buying one.

I just bought a new couch and loveseat combo from FlexSteel (coda model). It is a recliner couch with headrest, lumbar, and leather. It was 5K for both, not terrible high for semi decent furniture. There are a few things I don't care for however. Here's an image of one of the couches in the room. https://imgur.com/a/4wZVD77

1. You are kind of locked into a certain seating position when you recline. Basically facing forward toward the TV. Not flexible on seating styles, although endless recline angles. It also needs to be 8" from the wall to recline fully. That doesn't sound like a lot but it is.

2. I don't find it super comfortable for sitting in the upright position.

3. I hate waiting for the motors to bring the seat upright. I'm impatient for sure.

4. My feet don't really touch the ground sitting with it upright, Im 5'11. Wasn't expecting that.

5. The leather is a bit hot on the back after an hour or so. But it'll be easy to keep clean with dogs and nephews.

6. The adjustable lumbar support and comfort are pretty nice though.

7. I can't lay down super comfortably across the cushions as the seats are slightly contoured.

8. It feels high quality, I don't suspect anything will breakdown for 5+ years.

9. The look is a bit blah, definitely not super stylish or anything. Leather recliner look. I'm 39yo male.

Was contemplating returning them and giving the Sactional a try. The back piece has a manufacturing defect, so it'll be easy to return. The Lovesac will definately be the long configuration, with a couple ottomans. My main concerns are below:

1. Will I be able to sit and eat dinner comfortably in the sactional? I'm not much for a dining room table eater, so most of my meals are sitting on the couch.

2. Will there be enough lumbar support for longterm sitting? In the store, if I pulled the base of the pillow out before leaning back, it seemed ok, but that was only for a few minutes.

3. Do older people like them? Say my parents come over for a movie night, can they find a comfortable position with their bad backs and knees?

4. Basically just looking for advice on back support and comfortable positions if you don't always want to lay flat on the chaise.

Appreciate the help, I've been looking for a couch for years, but can never seem to find the perfect one. This will be in a open concept living room, mainly used for TV/Movies after work. This will be my only couch area in the house.
