What kind of pillow are you using to sit on? There are specific pillows used in Zen meditation that can reduce back strain, they are firm and get you off the floor more than most pillows.

In my opinion there is no particular magic to the way your legs are crossed...if the way you are doing it is making your legs stiff, try another easier way.

Are you practicing Kriya? I have never had a problem with sleepiness when practicing Kriya, although I often did with other methods.

The key to comfort, in my opinion, is proper meditation. The technique should facilitate the inward flow of prana. As the technique drops away and attention becomes effortlessly inwardly concentrated, the asana becomes stable, and you will not need to make any effort to maintain the posture. Actually you won't be able to make any efforts at all as the mind becomes more and more captivated with joy at Ajna chakra.
