A member asked:
What is ergonomically better for my all day sitting job (seat or back cushion)? and can either help with orthostatic hypotension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back: A pillow in the small of your back will improve the normal curvature that is necessary for health and provide lumbar support. A pillow under your buttocks is nice if you have hemorrhoids but otherwise provide no support. Neither will affect orthostatic hypotension.
