A meditation knee cushion is a small, padded support designed to reduce pressure on your knees and ankles during seated meditation. It makes cross-legged and kneeling positions more comfortable by softening contact points and helping support better posture.
Meditation knee cushions provide targeted support for knees, ankles, or thighs during seated meditation. Designed to relieve pressure where your knees meet the floor, these compact cushions help make cross-legged or kneeling positions more comfortable and sustainable over time.
Designed for Grounded Sitting
Our knee cushions are simple, rectangular, and portable — designed to be placed beneath your knees or ankles when seated on the floor. Whether you’re sitting in lotus, half-lotus, Burmese, or kneeling in seiza, the cushion helps distribute weight more evenly and reduce sharp pressure points.
Each set includes two cushions, so you can position them symmetrically under both knees or adjust placement based on your unique sitting style.
Materials That Support and Breathe
These meditation knee cushions are filled with organic flax seed and finished in natural cotton or linen fabric. They feel soft but stay supportive. The flax filling offers gentle weight and structure that doesn’t compress too much or slide around under you.
- Filled with organic flax seed
- Cotton or linen outer layer
- Washable covers for daily use
- Designed to cushion knees and ankles, not the hips
We offer these in calming, earthy tones like dusky pink, graphite, and natural — quiet colours that blend into your space.
When and How to Use Knee Cushions
Knee cushions are helpful anytime the knees or ankles make uncomfortable contact with the floor. They can be used on their own or alongside other props like a zafu or floor cushion. Simply place one under each knee once you’re seated and adjust until you feel supported but balanced.
They also work for:
- Meditators with tight hips
- Practitioners with sensitive joints or recovering injuries
- Yogi’s in reclining postures needing light support under limbs
Each cushion is compact, travel-friendly, and easy to store when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a meditation knee cushion?
If you feel discomfort in your knees or ankles during seated practice, a knee cushion helps relieve pressure and support better alignment. They’re especially helpful if your knees don’t naturally touch the ground or your mat.
What are these knee cushions filled with?
We fill our cushions with organic flax seed, which offers a firm but flexible feel. It’s biodegradable, naturally weighted, and won’t flatten or shift easily during practice.
Can I use these cushions with a zafu?
Yes. They’re designed to pair well with any seat — whether you use a zafu, floor cushion, or meditation bench. The knee cushions simply add comfort wherever your knees meet the floor.
How are these different from a regular yoga bolster?
A bolster is much larger and is made for reclining or supported postures. These knee cushions are compact and made specifically to support knees or ankles in seated meditation.
Are the covers washable?
Yes, the covers are removable and machine-washable. We recommend washing on a cool setting and air drying to maintain the fabric and shape.
Finding the Right Knee Cushion for You
Choosing a meditation knee cushion comes down to feel and fit. Ours are designed with durability, comfort, and simplicity in mind, no overstuffing, no synthetic foam, no unnecessary bulk. Just two compact cushions that give you more softness where you need it most.
If your knees feel sore, your hips are tight, or you want a more grounded seat without committing to a large cushion set, this is a simple tool that makes a quiet but noticeable difference.
