Liz, as you have guessed you are not sitting "right" as you weave. The height of the bench and the shape will help. I make a padded bench that is 1/2 inch to 1 inch lower at the front. Padded because sitting on a hard bench puts pressure on your bones. The other thing is once you find that sweet spot for your bench mark it so you can keep the bench in place. Getting up and moving every 15 mins. also helps. You can also go on line and find back exercises. Use every chair you have in your home to see if you can find one that is the right height. Send me an email whpenfield@hotmail.com telling me were you live and I will sent you a list of guilds in your area so you can check out other weavers benchs.
