Do I need a high-back sofa for watching movies?

I currently watch movies at my desk sitting in my desk chair. My girlfriend and I would like to get a sofa so we can sit together. All the sofas I've seen are fairly low-back, with no support for the head when leaned back. This strikes me as uncomfortable. After all, at a theater, all the seats have support for the head. I'm not able to push the sofa up against a wall as the room is too large. And yet I'm sure that all these sofas, bought by all these people, are quite commonly used for watching TV and movies. So perhaps it is not as uncomfortable as I think. It's hard to know whether I can tolerate it or not until I buy a sofa and move into my home, so I'm seeking input before making such a commitment. Still my ultimate plan remains to mount a TV above the bed.

The sofa in front of my TV is a Cassina Nest. It's very comfortable for sitting upright for hours, but since everyone's bodies are different, it's best if you can try out the couch you're interested in. The back comes up to perhaps the bottom of my shoulder blades. It's good to get a few small cushions, too. --Andre edit: I should add that movie theaters have head rests because you often are looking up. If your TV is at eye-level, then I don't think it's that big an issue.

Huh? Really? Your head gets tired when you are watching a movie? Because you have to hold it up?

What do you do the rest of the day? Do you wear a neck brace or something?

I believe he is a gravel driveway inspector, so looking up is a big switch.
