Zafu Meditation Cushion

Kapok is a natural, hypoallergenic fiber harvested from the seed pods of the kapok tree. It is preferred for meditation cushions because it offers a firm, supportive loft that doesn't compress as easily as foam, yet it remains significantly lighter and softer than buckwheat hulls.

A 7-inch height is standard for a zafu, designed to tilt your pelvis forward and help your knees comfortably touch the floor. If you are shorter or have very flexible hips, you may find it slightly elevated, but for most practitioners, this height is ideal for maintaining a neutral, upright spine.

The product description does not specify a removable cover, so you should treat it as a non-removable, spot-clean-only item. We recommend using a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean any surface stains.

By elevating your hips above your knees, this cushion helps maintain the natural curve of your lower back and reduces pressure on your lower extremities. This alignment improves circulation and prevents the 'pins and needles' sensation often caused by slouching or restricted blood flow during long sits.

Yes, its lightweight construction makes it easy to transport. While it is a fixed, round shape that cannot be collapsed, its portability is excellent for moving between rooms or taking to a local studio.
