: I agree, totally. The problem is, sometimes I start out tired! :-P

: What I like about the foam pillar/backpad is, it doesn't 'shift'
: like a suspended band will. For me, much more comfortable.

Foam pillar also allows for full rotation, backbands usually resist that.

This is one of the reasons I want to play with the fabric sling seat, idea I got from Tom Yost, though it's a bit different than the one he used. Done right it will offer a bit of back support and allows complete rotation and should have no pressure points, downside is it'll be a real pain in the butt to set up the first time in the boat.
