i agree, it looks very uncomfortable. i quilt the same way as you do, popover. i use oval hoop for large quilts & an old roller frame from my cross stitching days for miniature quilts. i can balance the oval hoop & quilt on arms of chair & no problem witht the weight. as i have advanced spinal disease & sitting causes intense pain, any sitting is in short time periods. so the need to get up and spread quilt on bed and reposition frame as needed is good exercise for the aching back & stiff knees.
