This document I found has a lot of useful information on which positions you can use, either sitting in a chair, on a meditation cushion or meditation stool, and also includes a nifty checklist to run through just before you begin your practise, which should increase your comfort and relaxation whilst sitting.

There’s also a YouTube link to footage of a talk on how to sit.  It’s about 10 minutes long, but contained therein are lots of very useful tidbits of information.

If you’re lucky enough to know or be a tailor, that’s a great resource to make your own meditation cushion.  Places that sell kapok or buckwheat hulls are a dime a dozen so it’ll be easy to make and fill them!
