Well the main thing is it has to be wedge-shaped. If it’s just padding the back of the tub but maintaining the verticality of the end of the tub, it doesn’t help much. I need to be able to be in a more supported+reclined position, not folded in half at 90 degrees like my tub currently does 😕

There are also [foam bed wedges](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bed+wedges). And I believe you can also find them with waterproof vinyl slip covers. Although they are touted as waterproof, I’m not sure if that equates with submersible.
