A piece of foam under my monitor fixed my neck pain in 3 days

I have been sitting at my desk for years with the same basic setup. Last Tuesday I noticed I was always looking down at my screen, even with the stand maxed out. So I grabbed a scrap piece of high-density foam from my kid's old play mat and wedged it under the monitor stand. It raised the screen about 2 inches and now my neck feels completely normal. Has anyone else tried something like this with a cheap material?

My cat knocked the foam off and now uses it as a bed.

Honestly, that's genius. I did basically the same thing with a stack of old textbooks under my laptop and it worked like magic. People spend way too much on fancy monitor arms when a chunk of foam does the trick. Ngl, my neck was killing me for months before I tried it. Simple fixes like this are always the best.
