Adding seat height does make a difference -- you lose a bit of initial
stability but edging is facilitated.  I think this is particularly true if
you have a relatively high deck that might limit your flexibility.  I'm not
sure I would use a folded-up towel, since it will get soggy pretty quickly.
A small therma-rest pad is ideal for that sort of experimentation, but
anything (including the towel) that can be temporarily fixed in place will
do. It's definitely worth a try.  If you like the effect, then probably the
best permanent solution would be to use foam to augment the current seat.
