Summary

Our round cushions - or zafus - are one of the more traditional meditation cushion shapes. The spelt husk filling ensures it moulds to the shape of your bottom perfectly (think comfy beanbag) and the height of this cushion is ideal for tilting your pelvis at the right angle for optimum spinal alignment. Our round cushions can also be used as a support between your legs if you prefer to kneel rather than sit and they make a handy yoga prop too.

Filling

Organic spelt husks fill this zafu. Spelt husks are a waste product of the spelt industry (it is the outer part of the grain used to make spelt flour) and are a lighter, softer filling than the more commonly-used filling, buckwheat hulls. They make for a very comfortable seat as the husks follow the contours of your body offering you support in all the right places. Steam-cleaned three times these spelt husks are hypoallergenic too. Spelt husk meditation cushions can be hard to come by in our experience so these are special cushions indeed!

Who is it good for?

Our round meditation cushions are ideal for beginners thanks to their height. If your hips aren’t very open (ie if your knees aren’t close to the ground when you cross your legs) or if you are on the taller side then this is the cushion for you as the height will encourage your knees to sit lower than your hips which is what we want. Most people sit on the edge of the cushion as this encourages your hips to roll forwards but you can also sit more centrally if you have limited flexibility or have longer legs. It is also a versatile choice as the handy little zip on the inner cover allows you to remove spelt husks if you need to lower the height at any point. 

Summary

A thin but supportive meditation cushion that is particularly suited to people who like to stay low to the ground when meditating and/or have relatively good flexibility. It is similar to the foam-based yoga cushion blocks you get in terms of the height and support it offers. Rectangle cushions can be placed under round cushions too for an extra boost.

Filling

Raw cotton wadding, a wonderfully dense but soft filling.

Who is it good for?

This rectangular meditation cushion is perfect for those who prefer a lower, firmer seat and who have a bit of flexibility in their hips when sitting cross-legged. It can also be used underneath our round cushion to boost the height if you need an extra bit of lift. Some people find it is a good yoga cushion too; use it for seated poses and place it under you back in Shavasana for a satisfying bit of support.

Summary

Common in the Buddhist tradition, this large square floor cushion (also called a zabuton) is designed to be placed on the floor underneath your ‘seated’ cushion and supports knobbly bits like ankles and knees. Our floor cushions are thicker and weightier than most making them feel extra luxurious.

Filling

Sumptuous raw cotton wadding, a wonderfully dense but soft filling.

Who is it good for?

Our cotton-filled floor cushions are good for anyone who wants an extra level of comfort and padding for their feet whilst meditating. They provide warmth and comfort if you ever sit on a cold or hard floor and help prevent the numbness that results from excess pressure on your ankles and feet too. Zabutons are a must if you ask us!

Summary

Our meditation sets combine one of our seated cushions (choose from a round or rectangle cushion) with a floor cushion, providing you with an ideal set up to start meditating in comfort straight away. Take a look the colour combinations we offer. Our sets are offered at a discounted price so you can save some money if you buy these cushions at the same time too!

Who are they good for?

Meditation cushion sets are equally suited to enthusiastic beginner meditators or established practitioners. As well as the comfort and support it provides, one of the main benefits of having a meditation set is that it is easier to designate a space for it in your home - somewhere it can be left out for you to sit on whenever you need. A beautiful, functional piece of furniture! And as we offer a discount on meditation sets, it is cheaper to buy these cushions in one go if this is something you are considering.

Summary

These tiny knee support pillows are great for propping up the bits that need it the most – knees, ankles, thighs – or anywhere else that you feel needs a bit of extra padding whilst you meditate.

Filling

Raw organic cotton wadding, tightly packed in to offer optimal support. 

Who are they good for?

These small meditation cushions are good for anyone who needs a buffer under their knees (especially if your knees don’t touch the floor) or other pressure points that are causing numbness or discomfort whilst you meditate.
