The truth about the perfect chair is that there isn't one. Many design students make a foam cast of their behinds and come up with a chair that's torture after 15 minutes. The secret to chairs, so I'm told, is that comfortable chairs allow for movement. That's why there are wooden chairs and padded chairs. The wooden chairs allow for movement. Probably what's happening in your Cobra Eliminator swivel seat.
I tried out my mock up today, foot-brace at a 28 degree angle. The foam pad and my bottom were moving around quite a bit.
I didn't think I needed a back brace, but it actually helps a lot. I was having 'seat problems,' and the guys here offered several ideas, one of which was a bankrest.
I've just got some minicell, glued to the seat, leans against the coaming. It doesn't take much. I think (at least in my case) it has more to do with whole body position than with support for my back. I'll bet foot straps, by keeping me in a position will do much of the same.
