The perfect meditation pillow
I searched for just the right meditation pillow for quite a while and finally found this one. I’m very happy with it and am very glad I got it. I’d happily purchase it again. The size of this pillow is substantial and its easy to get comfortable nestling down into the buckwheat hulls. I find that it provides just the right amount of elevation so that I can have a good straight posture without any strain on my hips, back, legs etc. Its perfect!While I was shopping, I saw a lot of fancy silk and brocade zafus (for quite a lot of money) and thought all along that that just didn’t seem very practical. Pretty, yes, but for a pillow that’s going to be living on the floor in house with 3 dogs and a couple of rambunctious kids, that just seemed to be asking for trouble. The covering is a nice heavy canvas in a solid purple color (lots of other colors are available). Attached to one side is a sturdy nylon band carrying handle. There is a vertical zipper close by the handle so that you could remove some of the buckwheat hulls if desired for a more yielding feel. Or add some back, I guess.My only (relatively minor) issue is that the canvas cover you sit on is not removable for cleaning. There is no inner liner that actually holds the hulls. If you unzip the zipper all of the hulls could potentially escape. So casual cleaning is realistically not going to happen. If some dog vomits on it (it could happen, its happened before in my house) then I could just buckle down and do just that: empty all the hulls into a bucket, wash or dry clean and then refill.Oh well, a relatively minor caveat for a great, highly functional meditation pillow.

Very nice… I enjoy this when my cat lets me
I tried cheaper ones and croissant shaped ones but but I had to return them and go for this classic. A truly ‘set it and forget it’ product. Comfy and comforting . This helps me keep to my meditation practice with consistency. The cat enjoys sharing it so its a win/win.

I love it
No bugs at all!! Very sturdy firm and comfortable for me. I wish there were more sizes to choose from, but the size i got is perfect for my size.I think it would be a good idea to put all those seeds into another bag so they dont spill when u open the zipper.Also it would be nice if they give the costumer the option to get a kapok fill.Hope i can get another soon for my mom and dad!

Sturdy new friend
After having tested this product for over 3 months I am happy customer. Purchased during the holiday season in December. First thing to note on is durability. I’ve noticed a few peoples bags splitting at the seams. I have not had a problem with this. Then again I do take care in all of my belongings. This bag has traveled with me all Ski season al across the country. Placed on snow, dirt, sand, and even mud (on accident). This guy has endured all the elements and though weathered still holds strong.Next thing to note is comfort. Lets face it, all these products are essentially stuffed with and organic product of some sort. The fill in this particular unit is fantastic. It is the perfect amount for comfort and function. I really enjoy how the fill conforms to my body quickly with out having to adjust.Lastly the style and color. Which is highly based on opinion obviously. I went with the Earth color. Love it. The best part about the style and design is the little handle. As long as you take care and don’t swing it around, I do not foresee the handle tearing at the seams. This is a well though out product and gets my highest praises. Thank you for this product. It truly is an important part of my life.

This is the Zafu for You
This zafu is wonderful! I have been meditating for several years but was always hesitant to buy a zafu because often they were expensive and I figured I could live without one. After all, the Buddha sat on the ground under a tree and achieved enlightenment so why do I need a cushion? Well, I finally broke down and ordered this one because it is much cheaper than I have see elsewhere and I figured it could help with maintaining my posture and would benefit my practice. The construction seems good and so far I have no issues or complaints.Once you begin using the zafu, it will take some trial and error to figure out where to sit. It seems to be a matter of height to leg ratio as well as what position you meditate in. I have bad knees so I use the Green Tara position and sit towards the front of the zafu. I find this this helps maintain proper posture and spreads the weight between my butt and my knees to avoid too much pressure and provides solid stability. My sessions have extended and I can now sit for about 45 mins without any discomfort, and even then it is only minor.I assume there will be some settling or compaction of the Buckwheat hulls over time but I checked the website and you can order them for about $6.00 so I am not overly concerned. Overall I highly recommend this item if you are unhappy with your current meditation seat.

So good I ordered 2 more
I got one of these to sit on the floor with my kids while playing board games and everyone liked it so much, fights over who got to use it ensued so I ordered two more. Each person now has their own color. Itâs a lot more comfortable for sitting on the floor, your tailbone will thank you. Also I can say that the kids love them.ETA: had these for a while now and they have survived lots of use and abuse (the kids like to use them as âstepping stonesâ during play, hopping from one to the next) and no holes, no leaking buckwheat, and even in hot and humid Florida no bugs (these are kept indoors, with A/C). Still very happy we got these as they get a ton of use and we would miss them if we didnât have them.

Exactly as described, highly effective, supportive, and comfortable. Very rugged. I do wish it was slightly taller, as I have sciatica and need my hips a good deal higher than my knees. But this is no fault of the producer, just a note to anyone needing more than typical height. On bad back days, I simply situate it on it’s edge instead of the flat bottom, and I have the height I need, though not the surface area. Still 5 stars….only problem is a “me problem.”

I use this as a meditation seat and headrest if we lay down. I am 6’2 and 225lbs. I do 30-minute sessions at work twice a week and this is really comfortable. This is already filled so no need to hunt for stuff to use as a filler. Also, the filling is decent and when you move it around you will see that it has a good weight to it. Very happy for the price i paid. I recommended it to my work colleagues. Also works great as a footrest. Would buy another if needed.

Oh my this pillow has has been helping me through since I ruptured my achilles tendon. I use it as a foot stool, sit on it to meditate, and I even use it behind me on the couch for extra support. It has softened so wonderfully, I am competing with my wife to use it. Great QUALITY product, without the huge price tag. I am in total love. I will be ordering other pieces.

I’m really impressed by the value in this Zafu. It was the cheapest one I could find on Amazon, so I wasn’t expecting much, but was really pleased! It was “overstuffed” with buckwheat, which is awesome because I could remove some and save them for later when the hulls naturally start to break down.Honestly, you can’t even buy this much buckwheat bulk on Amazon for this price, let alone already in a cushion. You really can’t go wrong!If I have any complaints, it’s that the colour I really wanted was a tad more expensive, and I’m cheap so I just got the natural colour. I’ll probably sew a cover for it anyway, but would have been nice to choose any colour for the same price.
