Using a Wedge on the edge of a chair

I love stack sitting.  Finally I can find comfort when I'm working on the road.  I find that rolling up a bath towel and placing it on the edge my hotel room chair works well for stack sitting.  This feels good, so I assume it's O.k.  But I just want to make sure.  If I place the wedge back any, the front edge of the chair puts pressure on my hamstrings, which I think I want to avoid.  I'll try to attach photos of my setup.  Am I on the right track?

This looks like a working arrangement. Most people find they can also arrange the wedge further back on the chair, but if the pressure on your hamstrings is bothersome for now (as you spend more time stacksitting, your hamstrings are going to get longer and the pressure will probably stop bothering you...), you have chosen well to sit on the edge of your chair. You may find you do adequately sitting on the front edge even when it doesn't have a towel there - suit yourself and comfort is a great guide. Just be sure you aren't swaying your back by feeling for an even groove over the midline of your spine.
