Yesterday I was at Disney waiting for Fantasmic, and we had to sit on concrete for about an hour. After a while, everyone’s backs were aching from the lack of support. Out of desperation, we tried sitting back-to-back—and the pain disappeared almost instantly.

Turns out, when you sit like that, you’re basically giving each other free lumbar support. It helps you stay upright without straining your spine or core muscles. Your posture naturally improves, and your back muscles finally get to relax. There’s even a bit of a passive massage effect from the subtle movements and pressure against each other’s backs.

If you’re ever stuck sitting on the ground at a concert, in a long line, or while camping, give it a shot. It’s simple, effective, and surprisingly comfortable. Just don’t forget to thank your new human chair.
