Natural Sound

In my case, it seems to add a little focus to the sound. Waves are bouncing in the room everywhere, so there could be multiple effects, for example, blocking waves from the back. I have two chairs, a low one, and another with a high back support that extends around and above my head. This last one probably blocks some of the waves bouncing from the back and to a lesser extent the side walls. If I sit back in the chair, the sound gets muddier. With a tube-like cushion behind my neck it sounds ok.

That is correct Stephane .. in fact if you have a narrow high backed chair you block reflections from wall behind and if upholstery is rounded you get very little reflections from chair.. your head block most of the direct sound impacting the chair back in any case ( yours is a bit too wide but you solve that to some extent with pillow)
I think the " high back issue" is a bit overated
