TIL putting a couple of old pool noodles under my raised garden bed saves me from bending over like a pretzel

I stumbled on that tip in a YouTube comment from some random dude in Ohio and it cost me like $5 at Dollar Tree, has anyone else found a cheap hack that fixed a back pain issue?

Wait, aren't pool noodles kinda wobbly for that though?

You ever try to use a pool noodle to prop something up, @williams.sage? My buddy Dave once tried using one to keep his trunk lid open while hauling lumber, and it bent like a wet paper towel. But for something like under a pillow or wedged against a mattress, they're surprisingly stiff. The foam compresses, so it sort of molds to whatever you're trying to brace. Plus they're cheap enough that if it doesn't work, you're only out like two bucks.

Hah, that's BRILLIANT, honestly any win against back pain is a win.
