Sorry, I wasn't clear. I don't wear my jeans saggy and I'm not sitting on that part. It's where I lean back against the back of the seat where it puts pressure. Posture is not an issue, my spine is fused T3 to L2, I couldn't slump if I wanted to.

...and man, you guys are brutal.

Thanks for the clarification, maybe you should try a seat that sets you back a bit more so there is not so much pressure on your lower back. Or wear …….. ready? ……..spandex.

P.S. NO picture required!

Appreciative, too.

I wonder if the fused area is causing you to have more pressure there.
