Thank you all for your input. I do love the looks of the Envelope, but would have to sit it in as the arms seem mighty high too me. I'm apprehensive about the height of the back as well since the leather sofa we have right now comes up waayyy too high behind my head and it seems like I'm stuck in a "jump seat" instead of a sofa. I guess what I'm really looking for is a "lolling" sofa, something you can lean into over the arms or throw an arm over the back of the sofa. The Crosby was interesting, but looks uncomfortable. The Madeline is divine, but very over the top Art Deco which would not fit into our life style. I'm going to go in with an open mind and search out the Envelope and the Bovey. Can I say I want "half of a hug" type of sofa??? Thanks again everyone!
