Problem Solved

A bench that is made out of wood May cause pain in your back that’s not good, For the muscles called lats Can be hurt by the slats; Sometimes I would change seats if I could. But you often don’t have that much choice, So before you let pain have a voice, Find a pillow to fit On your back when you sit; Then in comfort, you’ll rest and rejoice.

I like cushy pillows and use them every where I can, so I can relate to this one.

I rarely have back problems bending of sitting. In my swivel desk chair is a thick cushion to sink my rear in. It's so comfortable, some evenings I find myself slipping into a deep sleep, then it's time to hit the sack. / Maurice

I thought the American preferred choice was to drink soda pop to gain extra padding so pillows aren't needed? But John Wayne did set a precedent with his pillow . . . .

Good idea, Ilene. My back gives me fits leaning back on slats, so I best stand!
