Meditation Cushions and Pillows - A Concise List
Posted by Jay Suthers on Dec 4th, 2015
With so many meditation cushions available, making a choice can be overwhelming. This concise list of meditation cushions that we offer at Sage Meditation might help you to narrow down the choice.
With each cushion we talk about Kapok and Buckwheat Hull Fill. To learn more about these two types of fill, please read our article on Kapok vs. Buckwheat Hulls.
Please note that these images do not offer size comparison as they are not to scale. We've made each image as large as possible to show detail.
Zafu Meditation Cushion
The Zafu Meditation Cushion is the traditional, round meditation cushion. It is a simple design that has been around for centuries and does a good job of helping you achieve the correct posture for cross-legged sitting meditation. It is available with either Kapok or Buckwheat Hull fill.
Rectangular Meditation Cushion
The Rectangular Meditation Cushion is a simple bolster-type meditation cushion. The larger version is filled with Kapok and the smaller version is filled with Buckwheat Hulls. This style of cushion helps to raise the hips for better posture during sitting meditation.

The Heavenly Buckwheat Bean offers a cutout area to accommodate the feet, but it does not have a built-in slope. It is a lower cushion at 3 or 4 inches (your choice). It is only available filled with Buckwheat Hulls.
Mobile Meditator Meditation Cushion
The Mobile Meditator is an inflatable cushion similar in shape to our popular Cosmic Cushion. It's ideal for travel. The felted surface is "sticky" so you won't slip on the cushion.
