Ingress/egress a bit clumsy and not something I would want to nap in, but an “Ode to Freud” — a great shrinks “couch”.

I revel in its lines and would like to have one some day, but not the hirsute Holstein cover model. I expect it to protest.

The headrest may look good on paper, but I have something against such setups. Unless it is very soft, its going to put unneeded tension on the neck.
