Something I've found is that sitting on a couch for anything more than a couple minutes will leave me with lower back pain for the next day or two.
Much to the dismay of all the older people in my life, we got rid of our couch and have taken to just sitting in solid chairs or on the floor.
We also sleep on a futon mattress directly on the floor. Any time we visit relatives, I wake up with back pain.
Any time the topic comes up, I seriously wonder how many people's pain / mobility problems could be solved by just getting rid of all the furniture in their lives that actively works against the body being able to support and align itself.
