I was stuck with this situation a few years back. The couch was directly against the rear wall which left the listener's head within a few inches of the wall when sitting normally.
When listening critically, the stereo image (soundstage) would shift dramatically as one leaned back & forth or turned the head. Bass quality would also change as the head moved back and forth, but not when turning it.
This could be improved quite a bit if a good acoustic panel is placed behind the head, but still not as ideal as having the sitting position further away from the wall.
