Small Bean Bags For Reading in Hot Gardens

The recent nice weather has drawn me into the garden, kindle in hand, to read and absorb some vitamin D (which I need). But it's so uncomfortable!
I'm not as young or flexible as I used to be, so lying on my front in a "cobra" position hurts after a few moments. Sitting cross-legged also makes me fidgety.

This afternoon, while trying to get comfortable, I came up with the brilliant, but unoriginal, idea of buying a bean bag to lean against. So when the heat got so much that even Cydric the cat hid under the bushes, I headed indoors and onto Amazon.

Boo hoo sob sob cry ....
All I found were very structured chair-like bean bags costing a fortune!
So I checked "traditional unstructured bean bags" which returned some with ethnic designs - still too structured.
Where were all the squashy bags of yore?

So I tried "large cushions" and up popped cushions which were hardly large enough to support my back while reading my kindle, cat by my side.

Does anyone have any ideas regarding a product which would:
not cost an arm and leg
support a comfortable reading posture
be available on ebay or Amazon?

All ideas, even loopy ones, are most welcome.
