Product Details

A zafu is a round, firm, and often pleated meditation cushion designed to elevate the hips, promoting a stable, upright, and comfortable posture during seated meditation. Originating from Chinese and Japanese traditions (literally "sewn seat"), these cushions help ease tension in the knees and back by creating a natural tilt for the pelvis

Usage

Buckwheat hulls – also known as buckwheat chaff – are the sturdy, round shells of the buckwheat seed. This natural filling is ideal for meditation pillows: the hulls allow air to pass through, making the cushion lightweight and somewhat resilient without losing its shape.

Benefits

Meditation cushions (such as zafus and zabutons) improve, support, and deepen meditation practice by promoting proper spinal alignment, relieving pressure on knees and ankles, and easing lower back pain. They allow for longer, more comfortable, and focused sessions by elevating the hips, which enables better posture and improved oxygen flow
