The head/back, the seat, and the leg/foot rest can all be adjusted much more than a typical lounger.
It had wide cushioned

What caught my eye was the ability to have my legs up high enough while still in a somewhat seated position.
But now I can't find it again on the internet.

I’ve seen a bunch on there while recently shopping for furniture. Some look pretty darn nice and comfy.

Hope you find what you need!

Is it to conserve space? There are ottomans and foam foldouts that are comfy but close to the floor. It would be 4-6" for the foam fold out or 7-8" for the ottoman. If you have a little more room, there are sofas that either foldout, similar to the foam chair, and they come in different materials from foam to complete foldout, roll-a-bed style. Then there are the old Murphy style hidden drop-down bed; and one for the lazy person (but athletic) a bunk bed. You can have your chair or futon on the bottom, and a bed you never have to make up in the morning on top. Practical, I think. The drawback is you have to climb into and out of the poor-person loft. Cheap ideas to get you by are camping cots or hiker's roll-up mats.

NOT the Western-style "futons", which are more like mutant couches.

Here's a USA-made futon frame that looks interesting, and is affordable, but I can't vouch for it personally: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IMK8TC

There's even an Ottoman hide-a-bed, but it looks even less comfortable than a couch hide-a-bed.

It was the episode with Brad Pitt. They showed a unique product that might suit your needs. If you can catch that episode you should watch it to check it out.

They have mechanism like sofa beds and they are not really much cheaper.
