    I have a lot of friends whom bring their own chair to retreats. I purchased a stadium seat at Job Lot and just put it on the seat and it works fine. It is a large oval circle with a piece which flips up for your back. It brings your body up a little and it definitely does the trick and relieve the back issues.

    Clever Donnamarie, I have never thought of stadium seats. They are in my garage gathering dust once football is over. Thanks for the idea. I will definitely give that on a try.

    I have the opposite problem. I'm too short. I have to sit perched on the edge of the chair so that my feet can touch the floor. If I sit with my back against the backrest I can't bend my knees!

    I just cant tell you how awesome the ideas are on this board. The talent and resourcefulness of the members is simply amazing! I cant wait to make these up to try at my next retreat!!!

(saves me $$ on Massage and Chiropractor appointments, too)
    I just sent away for one of those boat cushions. I used to use a pillow that would be flat.
