High-quality meditation cushions for a comfortable sitting posture during your meditation practice. Choose from round zafu cushions, crescent-shaped cushions and sets with mat.
A meditation cushion lifts your hips 13-18 cm above your knees, bringing your spine into a natural S-curve. This reduces tension in your back, hips and knees and allows you to sit comfortably for 30-60 minutes. Without a cushion, your pelvis tilts backwards, causing back pain and reduced concentration.
Consider the height (13-15 cm for flexible people, 16-18 cm for stiff hips), the filling (buckwheat hulls provide firm, shape-retaining support), the shape (round zafu for cross-legged sitting, crescent for kneeling) and whether the cotton cover is washable. A good rule of thumb: your knees should be lower than your hips.
