The chair I had before, could be raised higher than this chair. It's an office chair and much more expensive than the one I broke. Maybe I'll go buy a cheap chair!! Sorry, bad joke. Thanks again....I love the caring people on this sight!!

I found some pillow forms at my fabric store that are about 15" square and 4" thick. They are quite firm. I put 2 together and made a zippered cover to hold them together. The fabric I used is upholstery grade.
Now I'm considering bringing my "pillow" to church too!
