I'm wondering now about the furniture I'm dealing with. Both my chair in the office and chairs and sofa at home are made of a pretty rough material, so maybe i need to think about buying something smoother. I sat on a friend's cushiony, plush leather sofa and it didn't seem to bother me too much. It looked pretty expensive though.

The whole situation sucks if I let my mind go there.
There are memory foam cushions you can buy. Some are made for wheel chair users.
I use one for my computer chair...I bought it at Overstock.com
