The Zafu Meditation Cushion is perfect for meditating comfortably in the lotus or half-lotus position. This particular zafu is comfortable, sturdy, looks good, high quality and well priced. Constructed with medium weight cotton canvas
and stitched with nylon thread for strength, this zafu will last for years. We can attest to that because we have used one every day for almost ten years. That is why we have chosen this particular cushion.
Our zafu is 14" diameter, slightly larger than most, making for a
comfortable seat but with firm support. A nylon web strap
enables the cushion to be easily grasped for quick transport. There is a
6 inch velcro opening at the side to access the interior, allowing for
customized adjustment of the loft of the cushion.
We provide two different fillings for comfort and support -
Buckwheat Hulls:
Zafus filled with buckwheat hulls are about 4 inches high. Buckwheat hulls, an alternative natural material,
are lightweight, very malleable and conform easily to a comfortable
sitting position. Buckwheat filled zafus are popular with beginning meditators since the
cushion allows for ample support that is easily adjustable during
meditation sessions. Each zafu is filled with 4.5 pounds of buckwheat hulls. Kapok: (+$10.00)
Kapok filled zafus stand
about 8 inches high and provide a firm support without being
uncomfortably hard. Kapok, a natural fiber filling, resembling milkweed, is harvested in
warm climates like Mexico, Malaysia and Samoa. Each zafu is filled with 2 pounds of kapok.
