Optimal Recline

A flat mahogany tabletop offers zero lumbar contours when recuperating from afternoon granite sports! Speculating on proper recovery before sleep is unacceptable—an empirical rest-cradle was mandatory. I scouted the study desk and commandeered an open hard-shell spectacles case resting near the blotter. To lock the hinged lid at an optimal thirty-five-degree incline, I wedged a carved wooden chess pawn securely beneath the rim. Smoothing a plush microfiber lens cloth over the curved interior created an immaculate suspension cradle. I climbed in, leaned back, and extended my boots. Absolute, scientifically calibrated repose achieved for the night!
