the upper class sat in the theatre galleries who would often rent straw pillows to us on the wooden benches
They sat on benchs that were above the groundlings but below the upper-class.
1 pence to stand 2 pence to sit 3-5 pence to sit on upper balconies
I assume you meant the Globe Theatre, England? In which case, the upper seats were probably dearer, and allowed those who could afford the higher cost, to sit above the common people occupying the cheaper seats below.
The famous Shakespearian 'Globe' theatre in London; attendees, rather than sitting, stood and enjoyed often interactive theatre with its performers. The Globe was first built in 1599 by Shakespeare's Playing Company.

Be rich and important.
When people used to go and watch perfomances in the Globe, the wealthy, or as you would say "the posh people" would sit on the seats in the theatre.
The Globe Theatre had wooden benches to sit on. You could get a cushion if you were prepared to pay. In Shakespeare's day, the plays went on for two or three hours without intermission, so I imagine your bum might get sore by the end.
There were four different places to sit. The wealthy could sit right on stage.
the people sat on each otha's laps
Two pennys to watch from the pit, three pennys to sit, six pennys to sit, and a crown to sit. So about fifteen quid.
Anyone who could afford to pay the extra money to sit in the galleries could have a seat, and for an extra penny, they could sit on a cushion.
