Meditation positions

I'm reading Taking the Path of Zen and it give descriptions and drawings of stretches which can be done to make meditation postures easier and to help one to be able to do the full lotus position - the most stable of all of them. So I'm going to work on those stretches. I find the seiza position quite comfortable, but I've never done it for more than about 10 minutes. The abbey where I'm going next month offers different options including the seiza bench which I'd like to try.
